Even after the death of Jim Henson, the Muppets have always brought a extra bit of charm and humor to each project they’ve been in…most of the time. Their first major project after their employment by Disney, The Muppets’ Wizard of Oz, had a few entertaining moments, but was as a whole disappointing. Tonight, the Muppets return to TV for their first major project in three years, the Disney Channel’s Studio DC: Almost Live!
The idea of the Muppets interacting with popular Disney young’uns like Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers seems rather unusual at first, but looking at the promo
materials and such, it looks like the puppet pals are still their old selves. The major question is, will it be entertaining to viewers over the network’s key demo? Hard to tell. But, if the viral videos that have come out in the past month are any indication (search YouTube for “virmup”), the Muppets have still got it.
