Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy announced their split up on Tuesday.  Their new ABC-TV show is scheduled to hit the airwaves in Sept.

In a statement, Kermit said: “After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we have made the difficult decision to terminate our relationship. We will continue to work together on television and in all media now known or hereafter devised, in perpetuity, throughout the universe. However, our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al. This is our only comment on this private matter…unless we get the right offer. Thank you for understanding.”

Miss Piggy Said: ”I have no problem working with my ex, OK? It’s fine. You know what? Dating moi is like flying close to the sun. It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens.”

In the recent statement below Kermit makes it clear that it was his porcine partner who initiated the split.
