Obviously that means Gonzo plays Fonzie, breaks the jukebox worse when he hits it, then says something about “picking up chicks” and leaves with Camilla.
Kermit is probably Richie, Scooter is Potsie, and Fozzie is Ralph.
I haven’t thought out the rest of the casting, but Ted McGinley should definitely come in as the token human to end out the bit.
I would watch this. Have long thought that the Muppets should remake iconic movies but it would make sense to remake one-off episodes of tv shows too
Oh, absolutely. They’re supposed to be an acting troupe, right? Make an anthology show where each episode is a self-contained Muppetized version of a classic TV show. Muppet Cheers could be fun too, or MASH if they kept to the lighter side of it.
Kermit as Bob Newhart would be amazing.
Gonzo saying “as god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly”
This is an amazing idea.
Now I’m imagining Muppets doing the MASH series finale and playing it absolutely straight.
Brilliant ideas. I’d (re-)watch stuff like this throughout the year. Ofcourse I would hope for more than one off episodes.
The Muppet show already had a surgery room situation that worked, so translating that to a MASH one would be fine imo.
There was a 1990s late night tv show in the uk called the Adam and Joe show where they did tv and movie remakes using kids toys. Stupid crap from two twats in a bedroom.
