Apparently the Jim Henson company is creating a new show featuring a <a href=\"http:\/\/muppetnewsflash.blogspot.com\/2007\/10\/tinseltown-show-and-cast-information.html\" title=\"Muppet News Flash: Tinseltown Show and Cast Information\">homesexual couple: a pig and a bull<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  The puppet sitcom centers around a homosexual couple &#8211; Bobby Vegan (a pig) and Samson Knight (a bull) \u2013 as they work to balance their careers, relationship, family and lives in Hollywood. Bobby is a struggling entertainer whose best days are probably behind him. He is a very outspoken individual, and occasionally finds himself in embarrassing situations due to reckless &#8220;self-medicating&#8221; to deal with stressful situations. Luckily, his understanding and supportive life-partner and soul mate Samson, who also happens to be Bobby&#8217;s manager, is there for every storm. These two puppets also have family issues to deal with, as the couple has a 13-year-old human foster son named Foster. There are also issues with Lena, an ex-wife; and Arturo, a limo driver and masseuse. Everyone in the show is a real person except for Bobby and Samson \u2013 those two are puppets.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds to me like it could be a lot of fun. It&#8217;s on a cable channel I&#8217;ve never heard of (but then, I don&#8217;t have cable, so that&#8217;s no big surprise), but perhaps it&#8217;ll start turning up on the bittorrent networks once it starts broadcasting. Worth keeping an eye out for, at least.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Something cool I just ran across: Muppets for adults (and no, this isn&#8217;t Meet the Feebles&#8230;).
