The Muppets
December 30
A bit of a cheat, because it launches at the end ofDecember, but it'll definitely be in full swingthroughout January if Channel 7 sticks with it (whichis always a toss up). The Muppets return in a brandnew sitcom that is sure to please both parents andkids alike. Kids will want to tune in for the cutepuppets and the slapstick, and parents will love thecallbacks to the old series and the metahumour.
