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???

Well, that's Disney Channel for you.
Honestly, I watch that channel a lot but sometimes it really gets on my nerves, how they consider their "original movies" and "stars" (*shudder*) to be bigger than those that are Disney classics. Like, they show a movie every night, but not once have I seen Snow White, The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, or even some of the newer ones like The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast. I think Finding Nemo is the "oldest" film they ever air. Which really annoys me, because the aforementioned movies are just as good today as they were when they came out in theatres, and they are millions of times better than some of that crap that kids today consider to be "Disney".
That said, I have nothing against most of the Disney Channel shows and whole HSM/Hannah Montana franchise thing. I just wish that this generation of Disney Channel viewers (that whole 5-11 age range or what have you) would get to see some of the old mixed in with the new. Balance is key, IMO.
Who knows, maybe that's what they're aiming for with this Muppet thing. Which I plan on watching, of course.
