ABC screened a 10-minute pitch video for "The Muppets" at Comic-Con International in San Diego earlier this month. Due to "overwhelming" demand from fans, the video has now been made available online so that everyone can see it.
The video follows Kermit the Frog who holds a meeting with the Muppets to discuss an idea of a reality show about them. However, the problem is Miss Piggy, who apparently has become a big movie star, is not on board the show and it threatens to derail their plan for a new TV show.
Elizabeth Banks and Topher Grace make cameos in the clip. The former wants to appear on the Muppets' new TV show, while Grace is starring in a movie with Miss Piggy. There's something romantic going on between Miss Piggy and Grace as the two are seen making out in front of Kermit.
Meanwhile Fozzie has a new girlfriend and the future of his relationship depends on whether or not their TV show is going forward. Just after Kermit delivers the bad news to the other Muppets, Miss Piggy comes and saves the day.
The new "Muppets" series is described as a contemporary, documentary-style show that will explore the Muppets' personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages.
From "The Big Bang Theory" co-creator Bill Prady and Bob Kushell, the show is set to premiere Tuesday, September 22 at 8 P.M. ET on ABC.
