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.

    A muppet anthology series that did a spoof of a different classic TV show every week could be fun.
