US network ABC is bringing The Muppet Show to the small screen once more for a new mockumentary series with a “more adult” slant.
It’s time to delve into the personal lives, relationships, highs and lows of everybody’s favourite felt puppets as everything gets that little bit more grown-up. Fans will be hoping that there will be at least some fun song and dance numbers.
Bill Prady, producer of The Big Bang Theory and some one-off Muppets specials in the Nineties, is the driving force behind the revival. His pilot screening last month reportedly received a standing ovation.
The Muppets first burst into our lives way back in the Fifties before getting their own show in 1976, courtesy of puppeteer Jim Henson.
Following a hiatus came The Muppets movie in 2011, with Muppets Most Wanted released last year.
