Well, The Muppets are definitely back. The 10th February saw the release of their long-awaited movie, and it looks like they’re not hiding away again for a while.
The Jim Henson Company, the producers of The Muppets, have been talking with the BBC about the possibility of a new puppet chat show to start next year. The company are going to be creating new puppets for the project, and once this is done, a pilot episode will be recorded.
As well as being a chat show, it may also feature sketches and games with the new characters. At present, they’re talking about it appearing on BBC One as a Saturday teatime fun show, due to start in 2013.
It’s difficult to say what restarted The Muppets boom, but for some their love for the cheeky puppets never died. Cravendale milk drinkers have until the 14th April to collect 20 codes for an exclusive Kermit the Frog backpack, and I’m almost there. With 15 of the codes needed, it won’t be long until I’ll be requesting my bag.
This new chat show is really exciting, The Muppets Christmas Carol was a classic Christmas film when I was growing up, and it’s pretty safe to say that this show will be a hit.
Are you looking forward to Jim Henson’s new show? Let me know what you think.
