The Muppet Change (between Season 1 & 2)

[Dil]

Since the 1st Season is completely different than the rest of the Seasons.
So I've created a fanfic where the Gang would do a change.
I call it "The Muppet Change."

At the beginning, these opening credits are shown:

"ITC presents"

"A Jim Henson Production"

"The Muppet Change"

(the camera then cut to Backstage.)

KERMIT: "OK, that's the last of the 1st Season. Now, what should we do now? Um... Wait! I got it. (looks at the camera) We should do another season in a different way than the previous. (looks up in the air calling Piggy) Miss Piggy! Miss Piggy!"

PIGGY: (enters next to Kermit) "Yes, my love?"

KERMIT: (more gentle) "Piggy, I once met another Miss Piggy, and she's prettier than you!"

PIGGY: "What?!"

KERMIT: "No no no no! Don't karate-chop me! Just let me be more descriptive. (shouting) You kept karate-chopping, your kiss is wet and disgusting, your voice sometimes get dum to me..."

PIGGY: "Grrr..."

KERMIT: "PIGGY! You're not Miss Piggy, you're Miss Porky! The other one outside at the entrance would indeed be Miss Piggy."

PORKY: "The truth is... my true name is Miss Porky. That Miss Piggy is more prettier than I'd ever be. I can't take it!"

KERMIT: "Porky, YOU ARE FIRED! F I R E D! FIRED!! And never come back again! Understand?!"

PORKY: "Grrr...!"

(Miss Porky tries to karate-chop Kermit the Frog, but Kermit ducked and Porky misses, twirls around and falls through the exit and crashes.)

KERMIT: (looks at the audience) "Now not only is Wayne & Wanda fired, but also Porky is fired, too. I though Hilda was still there, but... (faces all around backstage) *Sigh* I don't think she's here. I wonder if she only wants to be in the theater watching at the audience."

(the scene fades to black, and then we see the Muppet Show logo.)

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "We'll be right back for more different things that would happen during the next season after these messages."

(cut to the Commercials.)

Sorry, I had to go to swimming right now. I'll be back after my swimming.
What do you think of that part of the outline?

 

[Dil]

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "And now, back to our show."

(cut back to backstage.)

KERMIT: "We're going to need more popular guests than Avery Schreiber, Bruce Forsyth, & Sandy Duncan, etc. etc."

(The true Miss Piggy (in the same Piggy form in the intro for the opening number from the Bernadette Peters ep.) enters backstage.)

PIGGY: "Aww, Kermie, my green cute frog..."

(Gonzo zips right to Piggy.)

GONZO: "You're even cuter than I thought."

PIGGY: "Well, you're not cute at all, freako!"

GONZO: "I-I'm no..."

(Piggy karate-chops Gonzo's nose.)

(Then Gonzo began to scream, which turns himself into his form we know today.)

GONZO: "*sigh* I feel better now."

(Piggy faints.)

KERMIT: (looks at Piggy) "Uh, Miss Piggy, are you OK?"

(Gonzo zips right out of backstage.)

(Fozzie enters as the way we know today.)

KERMIT: (at Fozzie) "Wow, Fozzie, you look different."

FOZZIE: "I had to get a little hair change, today."

KERMIT: (calls for Scooter) "Scooter! Scooter!?"

(A scooter drives by itself on the backstage desk.)

KERMIT: (at the scooter) "Not you! (at the camera) the wrong scooter."

(camera zooms at the dressing room door, which then Scooter comes out of the door.)

SCOOTER: "Yes, chief?"

KERMIT: "What have we also got?"

SCOOTER: "Janice's older sister, Janice, would be here in the 4th Show of the 2nd Season. She has a different and rather more manlish voice."

(Floyd passes by saying 'I seem to have lost my sunglasses'.)

SCOOTER: "On the other hand..."

(A hand passes by.)

SCOOTER: "On the other hand, Zoot would not be here, instead his younger brother, Zoot, who does not say much, would be here. Plus, I won't be just a gofer, I'd go fer the announcements to the guest stars about the show that's going to begin. I'd say like '15 Seconds' or something like that. Sometimes I'd get early, but many times I'd be here 15 seconds before the show starts."

(camera cut to Kermit.)

KERMIT: "Things are different."

(the scene fades to black, and then we see the Muppet Show logo.)

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "We'll be right back for more different things that would happen during the next season after these messages."

(cut to the Commercials.)

I'll be back for more.

 

[Dil]

I can't post another part of the fanfic until you create a post of what you think.

 

[Dil]

Gee, I don't see anyone responding.

 

[Dil]

Hello? Hello?

 

[MartyMuppets]

Sigh. Dil it's a very good and very funny idea and I think you should continue it. But you must learn to be more patient. Maybe people were planning to comment when you were finished. Nagging for comments will not work. People will comment honestly when they are ready.
That said yeah I like this fan fic idea and I hope you do add more to it.

 

[Dil]

Allright! Here we go again:

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "And now, back to our show."

(cut back to backstage.)

BUNSEN: "Uh, Kermit?"

KERMIT: "Aah! Oh, Oh, what is it, doctor?"

BUNSEN: "I don't think it's fun alone working on Muppet Labs."

KERMIT: "Ohhh."

(Beaker pops up.)

BUNSEN: "I hired Beaker here to become my assistant. Right, Beakie?"

BEAKER: "Aah!"

(Beaker runs away.)

BUNSEN: (chasing Beaker) "Oh, Beaker, there's no needs to be afraid."

KERMIT: (calling Fozzie) "Fozzie! Fozzie! Fozzie!?"

FOZZIE: "Uh, yes, Kermit?"

KERMIT: "The Shouting Lady.... At The Dance... was killed from throat cancer. George The Janitor will no longer work as janitor. And--"

FOZZIE: "Oh! Oh! Kermit, I know what else you're going to say. (imitates Kermit) Statler & Waldorf would replace your opening jokes, Fozzie."

KERMIT: "Well, yes, I was about to say that."

(Gonzo zips backstage.)

GONZO: "Kermit! This is going to be better!"

FOZZIE: "I'd hate to talk with Gonzo now."

(Fozzie leaves.)

GONZO: "My acts would become more dramatic and talented. Plus!..."

KERMIT: "Plus...?"

GONZO: "My favorite recurring sketch would be on The Muppet Show. ANNOUNCER!"

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "Gonzo's favorite recurring sketch would be... PIIGSS INN SPAAACCE!!"

(Dramatic Music Sting plays.)

KERMIT: "I've never heard of Pigs in Space before."

GONZO: "What else?"

ANNOUNCER: (still off-camera) "What else? On Veterinarian's Hospital, I'll begin to say 'The Continuing Stoorrrry of a Quack' instead of 'The Continuing Story of an orthipedic surgeon'."

GONZO: "Dr. Bob was never an orthipedic surgeon, he loves to tell jokes."

(the scene fades to black, and then we see the Muppet Show logo.)

ANNOUNCER: (off-camera) "We'll be right back for more different things that would happen during the next season after these messages."

(cut to the Commercials.)

ANNOUNCER: (after the commercials, still off-camera) "And now, back to our show."

(camera cut back to backstage.)

(4 Pigs move the new logo board (the one where Kermit would be in to do the introduction) to the stage.)

PIG: "This is just updated."

KERMIT: "Let's give this new theme a test."

(Kermit goes onstage.)

(The opening Theme

KERMIT: "It's The 2nd Season of The Muppet Show!"

(The Same 2nd Season Theme would be performed.)

(At the shot of the Balcony
STATLER: "How could it be better?"
WALDORF: "I don't know."

(At the shot of Gonzo in the O
GONZO: "I thought I'd be outside the O hitting the gong. Well, here goes nothing."

(Gonzo blows his horn, and the horn explodes.)

(camera cut to backstage.)

KERMIT: "OK, that's about everything."

(the credits roll as the closing theme plays, & the gang make a "silent" conversation.)

THE END.

What do you think?
