Last night I was watching the CMA awards on www.expertsatellite.com and I saw a commercial for a new Muppets movie. Not too long after that the hosts of the show did a sketch with Miss Piggie. It got me thinking. When was the last time I saw the Muppets on something? I think it has been at least 10 years or more since I last saw anything new come out featuring the Muppets. I don’t have children so I am not up on these things but I would think I would notice a commercial or a print ad or something. Do kids even like puppets anymore? I would think that with the new age of technology and Pixar they wouldn’t be interested in watching puppets on a stage. I guess you still have Sesame Street whose characters are basically huge puppets. I always loved Big Bird and Snufalupagus as a child but you never know with kids these days. They probably watch CSI and try to figure out who committed the crime. Or maybe they are watching some computer generated cartoon that has deeply involved plots with twists and turns that you wouldn’t expect. Gosh I am glad I don’t have kids yet. I am not ready for their advanced little minds.
