Odyssey Network will kick off the new season of its award-winning program "Donna's Day" starring Donna Erickson with a special "prime family time" premiere of the episode "Come to the Party" featuring Muppet All Stars Kermit the Frog, Rizzo the Rat and Beaker.

The series will begin its new season of 26 original episodes this October.

"Come to the Party" features Donna Erickson planning a neighborhood pizza party in her community where Kermit the Frog is vacationing. They divide up tasks with Kermit contacting his friends to entertain at the party and Donna planning and demonstrating backyard activities in which her guests, both children and adults, will participate. The episode will also include a special musical performance by a featured Muppet.

"Donna's Day" is an award-winning creative family living series that provides valuable assistance to parents and adult caregivers who want to take advantage of the time they have to spend together with the children in their lives.
