The new Muppet movie and TV series

DW...

Yeah, I agree, I have many family members who do the same things to me: tie me up, run away, shut the door...

What about musical numbers? If the Muppets do a sitcom, how will they fit them in?

 

[Fozzie Bear]

THAT'S RIGHT!!

Muppets are well known for their Musical Numbers!!

Then again, they did many episodes of The Honeymooners as musicals...

It's the Muppets, they'll fit it in somehow.

I don't know about you, but I'd like to hear more Electric Mayhiem covers of old songs. Especially:
Bohiemian Rhapsody (since they're on Fox, I bet they'd have no problem with the line "Mama just killed a man...")
Cover of the Rolling Stone (I can just picture Floyd singing this, sounds like he does anyway)
Mama's got a Squeeze Box (Endless possibilities here, use your imagination)
Devil went down to Georgia
and many others I could think of late at night after I wake up from an odd dream sequence. That's how I get my ideas!

I don't think we need to worry about musical numbers in a sitcom. The Simpsons do them all the time.

Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenburg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robs cavefish of thier sight? Who rigs every Oscar night?
We do! We do!

Every time the Simpsons break into song, I frown a little bit. The worst one was the episode where the parents and kids sang a modified version of "What's the matter with kids?" regarding the issue of city curfews. Even though the writing is very clever and fits the Simpsons' social commentative theme, it seems out of place to make a cartoon with such a realist attitude to start singing out of nowhere. It's like Alf Clausin wants to get paid more.

What? This is a Muppet message board? That explains why 3/4ths of my screen name is that of a monkey's......

I looked back at previous message and realizrd that my idea of having Clifford arrange music would be a prime oppertunity to have musical acts of any variety. So there.

I completely disagree. I love the Simpson's musical numbers. Actually, until now I had never heard anyone not liking them. To each their own, though.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

We break into musical numbers here all the time...

Hmm...I feel a song coming on...

FOZ

 

[Salmoto]

Please don't let it be "Hello Dolly...."

 

[Fozzie Bear]

GREAT PIC! LOL!

Hello, Dolly! [ Top ]
