One of the persist themes of The Muppets has been the search for fame Hollywood style, however, how will they handle it once they have success at hand? That appears to be the principle conflict of the new mock-umentary style show coming this fall to ABC.

Fozzie Bear trying out a wax job at the spa
Gonzo, of course, has a requisite cup of Starbucks coffee, perfect for the star on the go.

What about you?
