Watch the funniest panel of Comic Con- The Muppets
To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about watching the Muppet Show panel at Comic Con. I mean they’re for kids, right? Wrong. Well, I mean kids can still watch but one thing the panel showed was that the new Muppet Show that begins in September will not be a Sesame Street show. Rather it will follow along the same lines of the original Muppet show that dealt with grown up themes like love, loss, working problems, and the desire to find something to be passionate about. The panel is very funny and I encourage you all to watch.
