If you are thinking, “I could really use a mockumentary-style show detailing the romantic entanglements and careers of the Muppets,” then ABC’s “The Muppets” is the show for you. If you are like the rest of America, however, you may be a bit apprehensive about this half-hour scripted comedy about puppets. Luckily for everyone, I watched it, and I have thoughts.
