For 80s era fans who have the Old School sets

Disney owns Kermit now, so he'd have to go through the Disney channel before he could appear in non-Disney, yet Muppet-related projects again.

I have had that in the back of my mind ever sense disney bought the muppets kind of sucks in a way but i guess that is just how the busness is in General now days .

Yep. Mergers and whatnot give the corporations more money & gives some of them all the more reason to make money without competition.

They're ripping the muppet family apart !

Well sadly, Jim finalized that, not knowing what The Muppets' future would be. Granted, he left this world, but his kids should've paid more attention to their father's legacy instead of merely just leaving The Muppets to rot in order to focus on their own solo careers. Sure, having a career of your own is good, but when you're born--or wed--into a family business, you should take responsibility for said business. This is sadly not the case for Brian Henson, who likes the bathroom humor and cynical-ness of today it seems, considering the style of work he does.

I said it seemed odd, Ilikemuppets, I didn't say I didn't like it. It was nice to see Kermit actually had a relationship with the grown-ups before Jim Henson had more projects to worry about.

Well, I never said you didn't like it. I am just saying that I like it too. And you're right that it does seen a bit odd. And I agree it is nice to see Kermit interacting with the grown-ups!

And I misspelled not by the way... I mean to wirte that you are not the only person to notice this and I was merely agreeing with you.

Yep; Considering he's the face of The Muppets.

My library now has the first Old School set, so I shall have to take it out sometime. I'm amazed the staff never told me about this set because they know how much I love Sesame Street.

Perhaps they feel embarassed.

Well I have it out at last and have already watched the first episode. It made me feel like a preschooler again. I can't wait to watch the rest of it.
