TV Comeback For The Muppets?
The popular puppet program - featuring Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy - is being made into a Disney film, due to be written and directed by actor Jason Segel. And it is rumored that the movie will pave the way for a new television series of The Muppet Show - the first since 1981.
A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Jason is a massive Muppets fan and is seen as the man to finally bring The Muppet Show back to TV. It will obviously have all its old fans but Jason's comedy is hugely popular with youngsters so it will open it up to a whole new audience." The source adds: "If the movie script is popular, Jason will write the TV series too." |

Jason Segel is an awesome actor. Let's hope he's a good writer! The Muppets are classic television!
