I thought it would never happen, but The Muppets had a special on Disney Channel called Studio DC Almost Live which has The Muppets. Here is a clip of the Electric Mayham with today's pop-singer Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hanna Montana. I don't know if this was just a one time only TV special or if it's a new TV show that really took off. Here is a clip of Studio DC Almost Live.

Hopefully, this would create a modern day Muppets variety show.

The first three seasons were the best.
