ABC has ordered a script andfive episode outlines for "America's Next Muppet," in which viewers may join inchoosing the newest member of the puppet family that includes Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, a network spokeswoman said Tuesday.

There's really no way it could be as funny and avant-garde as the original, is there? Because it really was the greatest....
When is this reality show madness going to end? Don't get me wrong, I love me some Project Runway, but that's about it for me.
i didn't know that disney bought the muppets. that's terrifying and depressing. what a bad match.
