The most sensational, inspirational...
I know I can be fairly critical of Disney these days, but I'm still glad they've finally got the Muppets on board. Kermit and friends have been bounced from home to home ever since Jim Hensons death put a spanner in Disney's original attempt to purchase them and no-one since has really managed to do them justice. Disney, for all their faults, do seem to have a good understanding of what the Muppets are about and seem capable of making their unique brand of anarchy work - witness the "MuppetVision" attraction in Disney World. I came across this article which details what might have been had the original deal been completed.
Of course, whilst a theme park attraction is one thing (anybody want to go to Floriday btw?), what I'm really hoping is that we'll finally see a dvd boxed set of all the original series, something that will be added to my shopping list very quickly indeed.

>>what I'm really hoping is that we'll finally see a dvd boxed set of all the original series
AMEN!! The current dvd offerings of 4 episodes per are great and the extras are few but funny, however: all five seasons in one fell swoop? Yeah, I'd go for that, too. Yes, yes I would(are ya listening Eisner?).
I've got many doubts and misgivings about Dizznee's acquisition of our dear Muppet pals, but...it'll be good to see them getting work again. I was worried.
Even if that work is selling their intregrity in order to sell pizza for Pizza Hut? :P
