Tune in for the premiere show of “MouseMuse” (www.mousemuse.com) We’re calling this first segment “Stories on the Green.” hosted by Ina Chadwick. Between the storytelling that are unscripted monologues that you wish you didn’t have to hear at a dinner party (5 minutes is forever if you’re bored) and the scripted stories, memorized, though crisp, comes the whole other world of reality. Not the Kardashians. According to our reviews, ” MouseMuse’s programs are like a live football game, you know anything can happen, but you’re in good hand with these coaches.”
