"If you'd asked me that question a year ago, I'd have told you absolutely not. But in the last few weeks ... I'm considering it."

The series follows five twenty-somethings obsessed with work and striving for success, with the occasional quick break for personal happiness if they can find the time in their schedule.

Trying to navigate [production] while listening to the voice of your dead best friend is brutal. It changed everything. It went from being this fun capricious lark to this beautiful and sad process. It was very tough.

I think of my dad, the 21-year-old broadcast journalism major said, explaining that he is a business owner who works in finance, not exactly the most trendy, fashionable guy.

The Muppet Show is back and better than ever before. Well, not better, exactly. I guess a more accurate description would be exactly the same as. But after so many decades of failed attempts at keeping up with the times-after Muppets Now and Muppets Tonight and The Muppets Mayhem, not to mention the Office-style mockumentary series known simply as The Muppets-the Disney/ABC brain trust has realized that Jim Henson's frantic felt creations work best the way they always have.
