Muppets Brings CW High Ratings

The CW has done it again! Their special from this past week called A Muppets Christmas brought them some of their highest ratings in a long time. It earned them over 2 million viewers and managed to stay somewhat long enough for America’s Top Model. You can view the full press release down below for more of the technical details.

I had a feeling that it would do well. It seems like that the Muppets have been reliving their success again and I am sure this is just the beginning of what we can expect of more Muppet mania. I doubt we will stop hearing about them for a long time.

How do you feel about the latest Muppet craze? I am loving it, but I do think they are sort of over doing it. We get that it is a success and a hit, but we do not need to over promote them. It just seems like they will make the charm run out and we will all become so bored of the darling puppets. I am sure Disney does not want that at all. But let us go back to the actual press release.
