If it was Tim Curry's Pennywise, maybe. . . .

I'd be intrigued in what a Muppet version of It's favorite form would look like. And how exactly would the character work within the show's dynamics? Would he be a throwback to :batty:'s earlier appearances when he was more vampirically empowered? Or would he teach about letters with his individually artistically depictive balloons?

Another thing to consider... Would a Muppet version of Pennywise be limited to just its main killer clown form? Instead of an actual puppet, he could be a digital character allowing for all his shape-shifting when encountering different characters, a more modern version of Waldo C. Graphic without the affliction of literalatis that Betelgeuse (animated version) suffers from.

Either way, this concept merits more thought than just a simple suggestion of *insert specific character* here. :scary:

If they had to pull the Wicked Witch from rotation, then they should NOT have Pennywise on the show.
