The Muppets Take Hollywood


It started innocently enough. Doesn’t it always? 

On May 16, 2010, I had wanted to note the anniversary of the death of Muppet creator, Jim Henson, in my Facebook status, and so… 

It was 20 years ago today, Kermit's daddy just passed away... 

This led to a few comments from friends about how we couldn’t believe it had been that long ago and how we were glad to hear that a new Muppet movie was in production. 

That’s when the speculations began… 

Samwise: What's it going to be? Singing in the Pond, Citizen Kerm, The Princess Pig, or Avatoad

Dewey: It's a somber drama...Felt Needs. Or maybe a horror picture about puppet cannibalism...Foam on the Range



T-Girl: What about The Wizard of Foz

Dewey: The Count of Monte Gonzo 

T-Girl: Animal House...no, wait 

Dewey: Indiana Kermit and the Electric Mayhem 

Samwise: Statler and Waldorf of Arabia; The Maltese Fozzie; How to Train Your Piggy; Dances with Rizzo 

T-Girl: Doctor Pigvago 

Dewey: A sequel to Castaway, but starring a certain green someone…Kermit the Hermit; Bert & Ernie Go to White Castle; The Big Birdowski… 


And people say spending time on Facebook is wasteful. Ha!
