For those who grew up with The Muppet Show, the title of this entry should sound familiar. It's one of my favorite songs from The Muppet Movie and is performed by the great Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Today it was announced that Disney has acquired the rights to the Muppets. I'm not sure what to think about that. Here is what was posted on TV Guide's website about the deal.
MICKEY'S NEW FRIENDS: Is the Walt Disney Company big enough for Minnie Mouse and Miss Piggy? It better be now that Disney has acquired rights to the Muppets. In addition to Kermit and Co., the deal — announced late Tuesday by Disney and the Jim Henson Company — includes the entire Muppet film and television library as well as Bear in the Big Blue House. The pact doesn't, however, include Sesame Street characters such as Big Bird and Ernie. Those guys are owned by Sesame Workshop.
