There must be some sort of puppet alignment of planets or other cosmic convergence going on. Crossing the radar Wednesday were the following items: Angel (of the TV show Angel) turning into a “wee little puppet man!” for an episode. Publicity for an upcoming episode of West Wing where Elmo, Big Bird, Zoe and Rosita will visit the White House and film a public-service announcement with the (TV-land) First Lady. And, to top it off, Disney’s buying the Muppets. Disney tried to close a deal with Jim Henson’s company in the 1990, however it fell apart shortly after Jim Henson’s death. German company EM.TV bought The Jim Henson Co. in 2000 and sold some characters (Big Bird, Oscar) to Sesame Street. The Henson family bought their company back last year. Now Disney is getting Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, and all their close pals.
