The other day I hopped off the R Train underneath the Fox News Corner of the World and came face to face with a poster promoting ABC’s new interpretation of “The Muppets.” There, in all his glory, was Kermit the Frog – touting an “adult” version of the beloved children’s show.
“Finally. A network tv show with full frontal nudity,” the poster read.
Technically, the advertisement is correct – seeing how Kermit doesn’t wear pants. I mean, what self-respecting frog would wear Chinos?
Still, I suspect it’s going to shock a lot of moms and dads when they discover that the family-friendly Muppets of the 1970s are no more.

I remember the Muppet Sex and Violence show back in 1975. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Muppet_Show:_Sex_and_Violence
They had to study that? Anyone with a little bit of common sense could see that.
***Miss Piggy has begun her “transformation”***
I always considered her to be a “bore”.
Ever have your kids listen to Adventures in Odyssey while in the car?
My kids love Adventures in Odyssey. My oldest was a production intern there for a few months. She helped with script writing and has a small part in one episode.
I think she owns almost every CD
Back when I had a cassette player. Yes. Mileage varied (no pun intended?) depending on the episode and the kid. Some were a little tense for some children. But we enjoyed them.
Now we try to stream or capture a lot of the Lamplighter series and some Moody book adaptations for the car.
We have found that some other (no names mentioned again) programs we listened to in the car contributed to raucous youngsters potentially distracting the driver (who otherwise enjoyed some of those audio episodes as well).
I like the graceplace kids because they are gentle, compassionate, and always joyfully pointing to the simplest truths of the Gospel. (They have gone out of their way to avoid any “controversial” or sectarian doctrines as far as I can tell).
Another tv show we used to get over the air was “Janice’s Attic” - imagine a female, Seventh Day Adventist (though that only showed in her plain dress and her emphasis on healthy eating), Fred Rogers.
Ok - I am all done hijacking the thread, but thought it was an opportunity to perhaps advertise some neat puppets to people who probably never heard of them, and maybe help the producers (with whom I have no affiliation) have some exposure.
Twenty seven replies and no Tinky-Winky yet?
Good thing you didn’t let your kid see Barney. They had a human male character named Mr. Tinkerputz. He liked children. I bet his first name was Chester.
Thank God she didn’t like that moron character herself
