July 19th... a Muppet Show special on Disney Channel with "all your Disney Channel stars".

UNfortunately, it's Called "Studio DC: Almost Live"... hosted by Dylan and Cole Sprouse (Disney Channel's "Suite Life of Zach and Cody" show). So it sounds like it's centered around those two kids more than the Muppets themselves. Does Disney think the Muppet brand is so diluted that DYLAN AND COLE SPROUSE are a bigger draw than the Muppets??? Let's see, whose fault would THAT be? Disney themselves, perhaps???

I mean really... put a REAL Muppet special together, put it on ABC on a Sunday night, and watch the ratings go thru the roof! The audience "is out there" waiting for some quality Muppet comedy. Just don't throw another "Muppet Wizard Of Oz" at us and expect us to be wowed at how creative Disney is being... ugh!

That having been said, I'll take ANY Muppet variety show on any channel at least once rather than NO Muppet show. So it's obvious I'm of two minds about this at the moment... what are your thoughts?

Miley Cyrus with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem Band singing Cyrus' "GNO"
Miss Piggy joining the Jonas Brothers
Ashley Tisdale and Kermie singing "Bop To The Top"
