'The Muppets' Official Trailer Released

An official trailer for the newest incarnation of the Muppets was released online a little over a week ago!

The show is set to air this fall, and while the mockumentary/interview cutaway gag style still seems a little iffy in theory to me, I have to admit – this trailer gives me a lot of hope that this is going to be the kind of show Muppet fans are really going to enjoy.

New 'Muppets' Show To Be More...Adult?

Entertainment Weekly has reported that the upcoming revival series based on Jim Henson's Muppets characters is going to be a little 'different' than what fans might expect. The pilot, and entire concept of the series, is reportedly going to explore the 'personal lives' of the characters in a mockumentary style, reminiscent of Arrested Development and The Office, in a more 'adult' manner.

While the concept of exploring the characters sounds interesting, I have to admit, I'm a little concerned about the mockumentary style. If it's anything like it sounds to me, with characters constantly just talking to the cameras, then I'm not really a fan of that style of film based on examples of it I've seen before. As a big Muppets fan though, I'm still excited to check the series out when it finally airs.

It's time to light the lights...and re-meet the Muppets?!

After 19 years away from the small screen The Muppets are geared up to make their return to television!

ABC reports that the co-creator of the Big Bang Theory, Bill Prady, is filming a "proof of concept" for a revival of the much loved classic television variety show.  Prady is co-writing a script for a pilot presentation that sources are saying could be presented as early as May to Madison Avenue advertisers.  If all goes well it could go straight to a series!
