Before they hit it big in movies, The Muppets were a popular staple in television, starting with the popular The Muppet Show in the 1970’s and eventually returning with Muppets Tonight several years later. Now, it appears that they’re heading back on the air – or rather, the Internet – with an all-new digital series, Disney Drive-On With the Muppets.
The first episode, which made its debut on August 1st, can be viewed below, and focuses on Kermit the Frog and company interacting with celebrities on a Burbank studio lot. The show follows Pepe the King Prawn, who’s in charge of the Muppets’ office and decides to “mentor” Walter when it comes to the business of Hollywood. This means taking on small jobs, but eventually making his way through the ranks to becoming a superstar. (Maybe.)
The series will continue on for six installments, featuring new characters and celebrities every week. It’s an interesting mix of creativity and cross-marketing utility. Will you watch
