The Muppets get their own Office-style sitcom

What can he say? Kermit is attracted to pigs.

In the one-camera mockumentary style made popular by both versions of The Office, The Muppets are poised to take over ABC this year as they star in their first TV series since their original show back in the mid-1970s.

Take a look at this hilarious, witty trailer for the upcoming show, complete with an absent-minded Miss Piggy and a world-weary yet optimistic Kermit the Frog along with a cast of familiar and new characters.

The trailer pokes fun at the new format of the show along with the Muppets themselves–it’s worth a watch.

Apparently, Fozzie is now dating a young human woman, Kermit hates the Los Angeles 405 freeway, and Animal is perfectly fine with doing nude scenes, as long as they’re tasteful. Miss Piggy can’t seem to remember anyone, including her co-star in six movies and 2 television shows, Gonzo.

We can’t wait to rejoin the Muppets as they bring their signature comedic style to the small screen again; it’s been far too long.
