i actually wondered why they haven't done anything with muppets in awhile since its probably cheaper than cgi. nice job Marshall...hopefully the dumb2ss at CBS who doesn't "get" HIMYM quits or gets fired. i'm so sick of hearing it might be canceled because the big wigs don't like it. i'll be p2ssed if it goes the way of Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared...

How about kermit stumbles across a drug deal gone bad and finds money then tries to escape with Ms. Piggy without getting killed but Ms. Piggy's dumb ****ing mother has to blabber to the killers where Kermit is hiding then everyone gets killed at the end, except for the killer of course...truly original.

I'm waiting for the Muppets/Freddy Krueger crossover: A Nightmare on Sesame Street.

I think Kermit and Fozzie should go deep in to the mountains and become ranching cowboys. What will then begin as a friendship would become a love that was never meant to be. Then Kermit will marry a rich *****, played by Miss Piggy, and we'll get to see her ham cans, making the whole movie worth it. No matter what happens in their lives, Kermit and Fozzie will always hold sacred the mountain that turned them into lovers.
I'm thinking "The Muppets on the Mountain". Copyright 2008, Albert Brodsky.

P.S.

Gonzo will also probably try to lay the wood to some chickens somewhere within the story.

I think Jimmy Stewart is the original Jimmy Stewart. Just a guess though.

I think this project sounds terrific and I applaud Disney for going with such a viable team. All of Segel's ideas sound wonderful!

Picture this:

Battlestar Galactica with Muppets.

I'll sit here while you send your money.

Bevans, if you think Battlestar Galactica with Muppets is funny, you should see that 300th episode of Stargate where they are all Team America Style puppets. Comedy gold!
