I saw a commercial last night during Lost and I definitely want to see it. I love the Muppets.

I'm watching the replay of last night's Lost and I just saw a commercial for it. I grew up on the Muppets and it's one of the things from my childhood that my children have gotten into. I'm really looking forward to it.

Ashanti is Dorothy, Queen Latifah is Auntie Em & Jeffery Tambor is the Wizard. Quentin Tarantino's in it too.

Are they basing it on the movie, or the books? Because it'd be nice if they went back to the superior source material.

Gotta think its going to be a very loose adaptation of the movie. That's the version most people know.

The commercial just said "coming to ABC". I'm guessing sometime in the summer.

Maybe. I was half-studying / half-watching TV when it caught my attention.

*looks like somebody already found some info online for it though - May 20th*

The Muppets rock. Especially Fozzie.

This should be cute.

Now I have to start watching TV again. After only watching maybe 2 hours of it in the last 15 months.

It's got to be based on the book (which is public domain) - no way would they pay for the rights from MGM, if they were even available.

I'm really looking forward to it. Their last TV movie (A Very Merry Muppets Christmas Carol) was the first Muppet project in years that I though captured the feel of the characters from the Jim era.
