Cool news!

I can't believe that reporter misspelled "Fozzie".

Sheesh.

Heh... You'd be surprised how many misspellings occur on eBay listings. Anyway, thanks for the news. Will attempt to watch it, though I'm looking forward to the DVD I got for Christmas also.

Yeah I saw the commercial for this yesterday! I happened to flip to Disney Channel right at the right moment. Although they were like "Starring Queen Latifah and Ashanti" and I'm thinking "Uhh don't you mean starring THE MUPPETS?!" (after all, they ARE the main reason I watch it )

Yeah... Disney's funny like that sometimes. They made this big to-do about premiereing MFS on Toon Disney in November of 2004 and MCC in December, and then nothing.

Looking back on it, I rully think they dropped the ball in the promotion department. They started off with MFS and MCC, and could've had one of the other Muppet movies leading up to MWoO. They could've aired MFS in November of 2004, MCC in December, MTI in January of 2005, TMTM in February, TGMC in March, TMM in April, and then finish it off with the premiere of MWoO in May with reminders on Toon Disney that MWoO would air in May of 2005 on ABC while airing the other Muppet movies.

Oh well, what's done is done.

This'll be cool... I've been wanting to see it again. I'm too cheap to buy the DVD.

 

[MWoO]

The DVD is too cheap not to buy.

I am really behind the times. I had no idea that MWoO was done and aired on TV let alone on DVD already.
