ABC announced it's bringing "The Muppets" back to TV much to the delight of die-hard fans.

According to the TV network, the newly revamped show will be produced by Bill Prady who is behind CBS' hit TV show, the "Big Bang Theory." The updated version of the show will be "contemporary" and "more adult" and it will "explore the Muppets' personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires."

However, that doesn't mean that it's strictly an adult program, the network says the documentary-style show will still be family friendly.
