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.
A muppet anthology series that did a spoof of a different classic TV show every week could be fun.
The famous Muppet dou Fonzo and Gonzie...

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
