"God bless America, and its magnificent Broadcasting Company! Wise words from our friend Sam the Eagle, at the end of the first teaser trailer for the new Muppets show on ABC. This will be a mockumentary style show, a la 30 Rock or The Office, with more of an adult orientated slant, although there'll surely still be plenty of the madcap Muppet humour to enjoy as well. That style has already been done quite a lot, in great style by those shows mentioned, but it's still really exciting to think of how the Muppets will put their own spin on it, and hopefully it'll go some way to helping us get over the devastating news about Kermit and Miss Piggy (if the season finale isn't those two getting back together then I will never believe in love again). September 22 is the date it play the music, light the lights, and get things started.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
