I’m pretty sure I posted on something like this a while back, although I believe it was reported as being more of an ‘American Idol’ parody than ‘America’s Next Top Model’. Either way, Variety is reporting that ABC has quietly given the greenlight to a pilot and some more scripts for ‘America’s Next Muppet’, a mini-series lampooning both of the aforementioned reality shows.

According to Daily Variety, ABC has already ordered a script and five script outlines for the six-episode series, which would air in primetime. Sounding a bit like a cross between Comedy Central’s Drawn Together animated reality TV parody and live-action parodies like The Joe Schmo Show, America’s Next Muppet will reportedly feature a judging panel format similar to American Idol and America’s Next Top Model, with other existing Muppets characters serving as the show’s judges.
