OKAY. A small clothes store just been put up on Sesame Street. The owner of the department store's name is Tim (named after Tim Armstrong, one of my idols!!!) and he's played by WILL SASSO from my favorite show, Mad TV. A mannequin has been sent there from Simpsons (NO, not the cartoon with Homer and Bart, the store that the Today's Special gang works at.) Unfortunetley, that mannequin was JEFF! But what’s the real thing that brings them together? Amazing Mumford was friends with Waldo The Magnificent.

It starts at Simpsons. It’s night time. The store is all locked up, and nobody’s there except for Sam and Jeff, and Mrs. Pennypacker in the basement working overtime. Jeff’s wondering wear all the customers went.

JEFF: Gee, I wonder where all the customers went?
SAM: The store is closed, Jeff.
JEFF: Why?
SAM: Well, Jody, Mrs. Pennypacker, and all the other employees have to have a time to
relax at their houses. Well, Mrs. P’s working overtime right now.
JEFF: What about you, Sam?
SAM: I work at night, Jeff. I spend time at home during the day, but I usually DO come
by during the day to visit you, Jody, Muffy, and Mrs. P.
JEFF: Oh, I get it now.
SAM: Well, I go to go work. So long, Jeffery!
JEFF: Who’s Jeffery? I’m Jeff!
SAM: ...Right...(walks upstairs)

JEFF: Jeffery........Wait! I GOT IT! Jeff......ry! Jeff......ry! It’s a longer version of Jeff!
(starts singing and dancing) Jeff--er--ree! Jeh-ef-er-ree!!! (takes of vest and swings it
around) YEAH! (takes off hat purposely, then turns to plastic, hat falls to the ground)

MRS. PENNYPACKER: (comes upstairs) Well, this mannequin shouldn’t be standing in
the middle of the floor! Hmm. Well, I guess I’ll send this one to that Sesame Street Store.
(picks up Jeff and carries him away)

SCENE 2:
MRS. P: (talking to the store delivery guy...whom will be played by Jerry Nelson!)
Well, sir. Take this ol’ mannequin to Sesame Street Department Store.
JERRY: No problem, Ms, uhh.
MRS. P: Mrs. Pennypacker’s my name. See, I know where everything goes. Every
hockey stick, every garden hose!
JERRY: That’s nice. Um, may I ask you something?
MRS. P: What is it?
JERRY: Why are you sending a MANNEQUIN from Canada to Sesame Street, which is
in New York.
MRS. P: Well, you see, my friend Waldo The Magnificent is a good friend of a guy from
Sesame Street named, ummmm, Mumford! Yep, that’s his name Amazing Mumford.
JERRY: Really. They sound like magicians.
MRS. P: Well, they both are.
JERRY: Okay. I’ll deliver this mannequin to Sssesammee Streeet.
MRS. P: Well, okay. Thanks alot.

SCENE 3:
SAM: (watching the store on TXL and stroking Penelope’s fur, in case you don’t know,
Penelope’s Sam’s cat, and she’s a REAL cat, not a puppet!) Gee, TXL. I wonder why
Mrs. P was putting Jeff in that box. Let me see what’s going on outside. (shows Mrs. P
shaking Jerry’s hand). HOPPING HORSE RADISHES!!! She sent Jeff away to
ANOTHER STORE!!!...............AGAIN...........(put’s Penelope on the desk and runs
downstairs)

DOWNSTAIRS:
SAM: (running outside)

SHOW OUTSIDE:
SAM: Wait!!!!!
(show truck driving away)
SAM: Awww, fiddlesticks!
MRS. P: (walks outside) What’s the matter, Sam?
SAM: Mrs. P, you sent Jeff away!!!!!......AGAIN!!!
MUFFY: (comes out of outdoor mouse-hole) Hey, I can hear you yelling Sam. I’m
trying to sleep, oh, yes I am!
SAM: Well, Mrs. P sent Jeff away to another store....again.
MUFFY: Mrs P! I thought you swore that you won’t send Jeff to another store!
MRS. P: Well, I didn’t send him to another store! Jeff wears a cap and a vest! This
mannequin didn’t!
SAM: He took them off and danced. He froze when he took off his hat, of coarse.
MRS. P: WHOOPS! My bad!
MUFFY: Mrs. P, you’re trying to sound hip and I think Sam is gonna flip!
SAM: Let’s stay on the subject of Jeff! Wear’d you send him?
MRS. P: To a brand new clothes store on Sesame Street.
SAM: Sesame Street? Where is that?
MRS. P: That’s where that Amazing Mumford guy lives. Remember, Waldo’s old friend?
SAM: Ohh yyeeeaahh. That fella!
MRS. P: Sam.
SAM: Yeah.
MRS. P: I’m really sorry. I didn’t recognize Jeff without his hat or vest.
SAM: Oh, that’s okay. We can fix this. Just one thing you need to tell me.
MRS. P: And’s what’s that?
SAM: Well, can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?


SCENE 4:
Daytime, Sesame Street.
(play Sesame theme, show sign and zoom out A La Follow That Bird, then show Big
Bird, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Kermit, and Bob)

ELMO: So Kermit, Elmo hear that your, heeheehee, “special friend” is coming to visit!
KERMIT: Yes, she is!
BIG BIRD: Really. What’s his name?
KERMIT: Actually, it’s a ‘her’ and her name is Miss Piggy.

TIM: Well it’s nice to meet you all. Do you know Mumford?
BOB: Yep.
MUMFORD: Yeah, I know these fellas!
TIM: Well, like I said, if you need any help, just ask.

TIM: ...your thinking of a different “Simpsons”. This is a store that my new friend
Mumford suggested.

MUMFORD: My mother was Canadian. And she went out with Dale Downing!
TIM: Who?
MUMFORD: A magician.
JERRY: Well, where should I put this?
TIM: Just put it by the window.
JERRY: (puts box by window)
MUMFORD: Hey, maybe Waldo will visit.


SCENE 6: Simpsons - Sam, Muffy, and Mrs. Pennypacker talk to Jody and Waldo.

SAM: See Jody, well, you know how Jeff’s hat falls off all the time?
JODY: Yeah.
SAM: Well, he wasn’t wearing his vest either and Mrs. P didn’t recognize him!
JODY: So?
MUFFY: She took Jeff outside that door and then sent him to another store.
JODY: You did?!
MRS. P: (with guilt) Yes. I’m sorry.
JODY: That’s ok. Where is the store?
MRS. P: Sesame Street.
WALDO: Sesame Street? My old friend Mumford lives there!
JODY: Well, I guess we’re gonna have to go on a road trip!

You've obviously invested a lot of time and creative effort into this supposed script. These are the kinds of creations I just love, so screwed up and mixed-up that it can't help but funny and a good idea. With so much invested in it, I think you should finish the script yourself and that way you'll have something grand that you can be wholy proud of. We'll be watching and waiting for the continuation.

Well then, here's a suggestion. This is a script that you're developing as either a full-blown movie or TV movie or special, right? So my thinking is that you'll probably need a villain, or not so much a villain as an antagonistic character. Both Muppet TV Christmas movies have their "villains"; namely the Christmas Turkey and the character of Rachael Bitterman in Muppet Family Christmas and a Very Merry Muppet Christmas respectively. Well, here's my nomination. Since you've included two Canadian-based shows as part of your script, why not bring in the character of Jack Frost from the Today's Special Christmas special and/or this invisible dragon I vaguely remember from the live show special episode? Both of these characters could be acting out on different past grudges against the varying casts and could be integrated in one big climactic finale. Hope this helps the creative juices going.

BTW: Wish me luck with a similar personal creative project based on a grand Muppet party taking place in the Count's castle!

How about the cast of Scooby-Doo, the cast of Josie & The Pussycats, the cast of Speed Buggy, and the cast of Johnny Bravo visit Sesame Street?

The only way that such a four-some could come over to SS is if we're talking about the live cast of all four cartoon shows. Scooby-Doo and Josie and her Pussycats have already made it to the big screen, Johnny Bravo is being contemplated as starring "The Rock" from WWE, and then Speed Buggy would be the only one missing. My problem with such a grouping is that I personally don't like Johnny Bravo. The other three teams already proved their friendship on various cross-over mysteries. I'd like to see a team up with all three teams: Scooby-Doo, Josie and her Pussycats, and Speed Buggy, plus the Harlem Globetrotters and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. Maybe you could create your own dream script Agentflash, since I do not wish to squash your creative dreams. If you want to develop this ultra-teamup, then go for it! After all, we can only gain upon the efforts of many with different visions of greatness.
