All of them!

Each week the episode would focus on one character's life inside and outside of the muppet boarding house (from MFS) and working on the show at the theater (from TMS). So one week it would be mainly a Kermit story, another week a Gonzo story, an Electric Mayhem story, then another Kermit story, a Bobo story, a Johnny & Sal story, etc. Along the way, they would interact with other characters inside and outside of the house and theater. Cameras would follow the life of the Muppet gang as the live and work together and go about "life".

Now that's a good idea!

I really think the Muppet bording house has a whole lot of potentual. in fact in my opyion i thought that the best sences in MFS was in the bording house.
There was so much that could go on becaues all the muppets where there. they could pop up and do or say anything. I hope they use the Bording house.

Yeah, I always liked stories about boarding houses. I remember The Muppet's Valentine Special had a bunch of Muppets living together in some kind of house, and Kermit was one of them. That was a nice setting.

of corse if ya think about it they never left the theater in TMS so thy might have lived there to.

Similar to the idea for a Muppet Family Sit-com layed out in this thread, but with the "reality feel" in terms of realistic sets, locations, and camera work.

I second vic romano's notion! Great idea! kinda like the "real-life" episodes of MT.

I think the Swedish Chef would HAVE to appear in a Muppet reality show. So much potential...

I agree Andy.

I think that a new Muppet Show would good if it was a day-to-day Muppet life. With the Muppets living in the Muppet Bording House, and putting on Shows at the theatre, and everything in between. I think the plots could be mainly between the characters, you know, like one where Gonzo admits he loves Miss Piggy, or one where the bording house is going to be sold, I don't know, stuff like that.

Like a soap-opra. Every show has it's own little story, but is part of a bigger patchwork Muppet story.

Would be good.

Maybe the entire thing could be set around, Kermit wanting to re-start the Muppet show, and they have to try new ways to get around things. They need to figure things out in how to make the show sutable for today's audience, and in the mean time, they actually WILL make the show sutible for todays audience!

What do you guys think?

Moi did already state this idea

Only kidding. Realy, two people thinking the same thing kind'a makes it a definate idea, no? Would be great if they did do it like this. Whatever they do though, I hope it is good quality entertainment, not crumby Reality Show style. I mean, it can be Reality Show, but not a crumby one. See what I'm saying?

"I'm a Muppet, Get Me Out of Here?"

"Big Brother in the Big Blue House?"

Here is a summary of the information we have been able to gather concerning the reality show pitch pilot...

The article said, "The special could potentially air alongside the Muppets’ Wonderful Wizard of Oz movie next May. Or it may never make the airwaves."

It would be a cool thing to see added as a fun extra on the Muppets’ Wonderful Wizard of Oz DVD (and after the film on the VHS release).

Mr. Chapman; I'd imagine that being responsible for MC, you'd have a decent "in" as to getting this info, why is Disney seeming to be so hush, hush about it?

Drtooth · Jan 31, 2005

In the immortal words of Mr. Horse on the Ren and Stimpy Show... "No sir, I don't like it!"

Can't state it any better than that!

Beauregard · Jan 31, 2005

"The reported plot is that the Classic Muppet characters (not the Henson performers) would be auditioning new puppeteers, potentially in an American Idol format. Characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo would be the judges auditioning new puppeteers."

Does this make any sence to anyone? I don't see what they mean... How are they thinking that would work?

Vic Romano · Jan 31, 2005

Are they auditioning puppeteers to work for them? Or take over who operates them now? It's weird.

Beauregard · Jan 31, 2005

I really don't understand this...

christyb · Jan 31, 2005

Muppets and reality tv?? I really don't like it. Why can't we have a show starring the muppets and not a cheesy fad item.
