] The mini-series was going to be produced by The Jim Henson Company for Disney, and was going to be a direct parody of "America's Next Top Model". The show was going to feature many famous Muppet characters, such as Kermit the Frog (Steve Whitmire), Miss Piggy (Eric Jacobson), Fozzie Bear (Eric Jacobson), and Gonzo (Dave Goelz) in a reality TV-show spoof, holding a talent contest to find the next Muppet to add to their famous group.

In October 2005, ABC ordered 1 full script, and 5 episode outlines for review before giving the final go-ahead. The show was scheduled to air in the summer of 2006, but was put on hiatus without airing due to budget cuts.Fact|date=September 2007
