Anybody have any alternate titles in mind for Muppet movies, episodes of the various Muppet TV shows, specials, etc? I got the idea for this thread after the announcement of the new Muppet movie being "The Muppets... Again". This is just sort of a way to get creative with (fitting) titles.

Not quite alternative titles but I always thought that A Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppets In Space rolled of the tongue better.
Also a Strangelove esque title: The Muppets Take Manhattan: or How Kermit Stopped Worrying and Learnt to Love the Pig.
