Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (The Hollywood Reporter) Akene kua tae ki te wa ki te whakaoho i nga rama. Kei te kiriata a ABC i tētahi whakamātautau kaupapa mō te whakaoranga o "The Muppets", kua mōhio te Hollywood Reporter. Ko te kaiwhakawhanake o "The Big Bang Theory" a Bill Prady e tuhi ana i te tuhinga mo te whakaaturanga paerata e kii ana nga puna ka taea te whakaatu i te whakaaturanga o Mei ki nga kaihokohoko Madison Avenue. E kii ana nga puna ki a THR, mena ka pai nga mea katoa, ka taea e te kaupapa te haere tika ki te raupapa. Ko Bob Kushell ("Anger Management", "3rd Rock From the Sun") ka tuhi tahi, ka whakauruhia hei kaiwhakaari, me te Randall Einhorn a Wilfred e hono ana ki te whakaputa me te whakahaere i te whakaaturanga. Ko te whakaoranga o "Muppets" a ABC e whakaputahia ana e ABC Studios me The Muppet Studios, na Disney nei. Ko te whakaaturanga e whakaritea ana hei kiriata i te wiki e whai ake nei i te waahi Disney i Burbank me etahi o nga kaiwhakaari taketake o te Muppet e hoki mai ana. E ai ki ngā pūtake, ko te ariā mō te whakaaturanga ko ngā pūāhua o ngā pūāhua i hangaia e Jim Henson <unk> Kermit the Frog, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo and Animal, me ētahi atu <unk> e huihui ana ki ABC Studios mō tētahi hui e pā ana ki te "Muppet Show" hou. Heoi, kaore te whakaaturanga e neke whakamua ki te kore e haina a Miss Piggy, ana ko tana hononga o naianei me te aroha Kermit i runga i nga toka, e aukati ana i te whakaaturanga mai i te whenua. Ko nga mahere tuatahi e kii ana kia rua nga kaiwhakaari rongonui <unk> tae atu ki te whetu o Miss Piggy <unk> me nga mahi hou tae atu ki te hoa wahine a Fozzie me ona maatua. Mo Prady, ko te "Muppets" i whakahoutia <unk> i tau ki ABC i muri i te hiahia tuatahi mai i Netflix <unk> e tohu ana i te hokinga mai ki ona pakiaka. Ko te kaiwhakanao, kaore nei he kirimana katoa, i tiimata tana mahi mo Henson i te 1982 ka tiimata te tuhi mo "The Jim Henson Hour", ka noho tonu ki te raupapa tae noa ki te tau i muri o te matenga o Henson i te tau 1990. Koinei te wā tuarua e whakamātau ana a Prady ki te whakaora i "The Muppets". I koperea e te kaituhi-kaiwhakaputa etahi whakaaturanga whakamātautau i mua i te "The Big Bang Theory" a CBS i tukuna e Disney i te mutunga. I a ia anō, i whakaingoatia a Prady ki te Emmy i te tau 1991 mō...
