The Latest on TV: Muppets Almost Live!

The Muppets return to television tomorrow in Studio DC: Almost Live on The Disney Channel. The half-hour special will feature the furry, fuzzy, felty gang alongside such TDC regulars as Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

Despite such high-profile tween sensations as those, the highlight of the show promises to be a boppin' duet of High School Musical's "Bop to the Top" performed by HSMer Ashley Tisdale and the one, the only Kermit the Frog. Now that's what I call aye que fabulosa.

This is obviously a ploy by Disney to turn kids these days on to the Muppets. But hey, if it gets some Hannah Montana wannabes to watch The Muppet Show or one of their movies (or that rumored new TV show we've been hearing about for years), I'm all for it. Promisingly, there are already plans for a second Studio DC: Almost Live special this fall.
