According to the fine folks at TVSeriesFinale.com, there are reports that Disney has recently completed a presentation pilot for a new “Muppets” series.
Again.
You might have heard the rumors awhile back about a contemplated series called “America’s Next Muppet,” which would’ve put the Muppets in a reality-styled show; well, apparently, a pilot was completed for the series in 2004, but it came to naught. This time, the presentation pilot – about ten minutes – pitches the idea of a “Muppets” miniseries which would be spot in mockumentary style, a la “The Office,” and would follow Kermit as he travels around the country to find his old gang and put together a new “Muppet Show.” Details are sketchy about the current fates of the various characters, but I laughed out loud at the suggestion that Fozzie Bear is now a solo stand-up comedian…after having spent a year as a staff writer for “Moesha.”
Come on, people. We’ve never needed the Muppets more than we do now.
And, y’know, not that we’re rushing you, but how about giving us Season 2 of the original “Muppet Show,” huh? We’ve been waiting for-freaking-EVER…!
