The Muppets

The Muppets may get an even fresher start than returning as Babies. According to reports, the beloved franchise may yet receive another TV reboot for Disney’s impending streaming service.

Whether or not you recognized the great Barbara Billingsley as voice of the Muppet Babies’ Miss Nanny, her successor is in good company. Disney Junior confirms Zootopia star Jenny Slate will take over as the faceless character, while Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo and more get new voices as well.

The new Muppet Babies are here to make your dreams come true once more. Following their initial 2016 announcement, Disney Junior has released a first look at the revamped children’s classic, including a new penguin character named Summer, and one fan-favorite we won’t see very much of.

You'll probably never see what happened today happen again on 'The Price Is Right,' plus Kermit and Chrissy Teigen's tattoo argument, J.K. Rowling wishes Draco a happy birthday and more, in today's Pop Bits.

Steve Whitmire played Kermit the Frog for almost 30 years following the death of Jim Henson. Why was he let go now?

The man behind a beloved Muppet is calling it quits.

Julia, a 4-year-old 'Sesame Street' Muppet with autism, debuts on the show as a playmate of Abby Cadabby's.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade turns 90 this year, and Kelsea Ballerini, De La Soul, Grace VanderWaal and more will help celebrate.

The new “adult” Muppets series didn’t exactly pan out for ABC, so the franchise might need a bit of rehab with by returning to youngest generation. Enter a new Muppet Babies TV series in the works for 2018, the first photo of which feel much more familiar that the last series ever could.

Despite an attempt to turn things around with a new showrunner in the middle of the first season, The Muppets hasn’t really caught on with audiences the way ABC had hoped. What once seemed like a surefire hit (it’s the Muppets!) turned into a bizarre experiment (it’s a meta-fake-documentary series!) before ultimately becoming an interesting failure (shrug emoji), at best. The short version: ABC has cancelled The Muppets after just one season.

Critics, though, are divided—some think newly adult tones make for fresh ideas, while others find it could use more finesse.

Did these "million" moms even watch the original 'Muppet Show'? Because it had its share of adult humor, too.
