NBC will broadcast a Muppets Christmas
Filed under: Pickups and Renewals, Reality-Free
It looks like the Muppets will be back again for Christmas. The NBC television special will star Whoopi Goldberg, “The Sopranos” alums Tony Sirico and Steve Schirripa, “Harry Potter” regular Richard Griffiths and Madison Pettis as well as your favorite cast of colorful characters created by Jim Henson.
I’m a huge fan of the Muppets, but the passing of Jim Henson did somehow lessen the franchise. The stuff they’ve produced since has been hit-and-miss. I liked Muppets Tonight and It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie,
I do hope that Jason Segal and Nicholas Stoller will be able to breathe new life into the franchise. I did enjoy Forgetting Sarah Marshall (particularly the puppet musical), but I’m not certain how well that translates to the Muppets. My fingers are crossed.
How dare Jim Henson leave us all like that! I’m sorry. I still haven’t gotten by it.
