You know what would be great? A new Muppet Show. I mean, of course it would. We’ve only been saying that for about 30 years.

According to Production Weekly… well, you can see from the tweet below.

Randall Einhorn has directed a whole bunch of TV show episodes, including shows like The Office, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, and It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. So he’s definitely not a nobody. And we don’t want no nobodies working on new Muppet stuff.

Now, the tweet only says that a pilot is in the works, so if they shoot it and if it’s good enough, that’s still only a chance that it will see the light of day on ABC. So keep your fingers crossed, Muppet fans!
