First shown at Comic-Con over a week back, ABC has released the full ten-minute presentation reel for their upcoming show “The Muppets.” This short episode was made as a sort-of pilot in order to show ABC what the show would be like.
Per ABC: “The Muppets” return to primetime with a contemporary, documentary-style show. For the first time ever, a series will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, breakups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires. This is a more adult Muppet show, for “kids” of all ages.
Bill Prady (“The Big Bang Theory”) and Bob Kushell (“Anger Management”) are co-writers and executive producers. Randall Einhorn and Bill Barretta are also executive producers. “The Muppets” is produced by ABC Studios and The Muppets Studio.
I’ve always loved The Muppets (really, who doesn’t) and I have to tell you that this looks absolutely hilarious. I believe my DVR is going to have a new show added to it this Fall. Check out the ten-minute presentation below.
