I just can't shake this picture out of my head. But i can't draw worth a flip. I so want to see this done. Personally, I'd love to see this as an actual episode. I mean come on the Muppets have done everything else. Why not Firefly? So there's the challenge, Heck, even photoshop it if you're that good.

Kermit as Mal
Animal as Jayne
Piggy as Inara
Fozzie as Wash
Janice as Zoe
Rolf as Book
Gonzo as Simon
& a crazy chicken as River

and Jewel as Kaylee - cuz you always gotta have a human guest for the show.

That is an inspired idea Stillshiny! I can imagine the Muppets masquerading as the BDH's for some reason. I've no idea why, but it works really well - especially Gonzo as Simon and Fozzie as Wash!

I'll give it a try.

Just one little problem with that one...Gonzo and Camilla the chicken are an item. I for one do not want Simon and River make googly eyes at each other. How about Scooter as Simon and Gonzo in drag for River?

Morena should be the Guest Star, because that makes the cast...
Kermit --- Mal
Piggy --- Zoe (and angry that she's not the love interest)
Fozzy --- Wash (frightened of Piggy "Don't get any ideas, Bear)
Sam --- Book
Janice --- Kaylee
Scooter ---Simon
Gonzo --- River (In Drag)
&
Sweetums ---Jayne

Gotta say I love the ideas being stirred up here. Though I should say the chicken playing river does not have to be Camillia. Just a crazy chicken. This is a rather fun thread though. I can't wait to see what some of the "artists" come up with.

Also I thought of Dr. Honeydew & Beaker as the Blue Hand guys.

And Pepe the Shrimp as Atherton Wing. - "The pig is with me, okay"

What about The Great Gonzo for Wash, and Bunson Honeydew for Simon?

Prarie Dawn (who did appear on The Muppet Show) could be Kaylee.

Now, Piggy could do either Inara or Zoe, due to her strong personality and curly hair.

Wait, what about The Great Gonzo in drag for River? Or Beaker, sine he can't be understood and is paired with Bunson.

What about Book? Rolfe maybe? Yeah, definitely Rofle.

As you may or may not be able to tell, I'm a real Muppet devotee. Can you name 5 original Muppet Show characters (who were not people in costumes) who had real hands?

Lotsa ideas here for artists to work with. So in adition to COSMICFUGITIVE any other artists putting pen or pencil to paper?

Have fun with all the ideas. My personal preference is the first. This is such a "groovy" thread.

Beaker is as a god. His delivery of the line "Sadly temporary" was the highlight of the otherwise disappointing Muppets From Space.

Monday, August 15, 2005 8:12 PM

Sam the Eagle has to play Simon, they are both so concerned about being "proper".

Plus it makes sense for Camilla to play River then, as chickens and eagles are both members of the bird family.

A joke that bad actually seems like it could be from the Muppets...

COSMICFUGITIVE

Monday, August 15, 2005 8:22 PM

Beaker could make a good River. He would have to be in drag though for it to work.

(They both are very brainy and insecure characters. Also, they both have that nervous, panicked stare. )

I gotta go with scooter as Simon, Gonzo as Wash, Piggy should be Inara though I'm not sure Janice is quite right for Zoe. Camila could be Zoe I guess, be fun to see a hardcore gun toting chicken. How bout Red Fraggle for Kaylee? Also having issues with River... Janice could do for river, she's about the only female character that's really that crazy and could pull off a complex character like that. Could always do Big Fat Bug Faced Baby Eating O'Brian... but she's not exactly a muppet. I think Summer would do an awsome job oposite muppets though, so maybe she could stay as River. I love Sweetums as Jayne, and Rizzo as Badger. Statler and Waldorf I think would be more intimidating as the blue hand guys than Bunson and Beaker. Bunson would be better in a more Mr Universe role. Fozzy as Jubal Early? Thoughts?

RIVERNOT

Monday, August 15, 2005 9:53 PM

I think Pepe should be Jayne. After all, read this information from his bio.

Special Talents: I am irresistable to women...

On my "must" list: Beautiful women, free stuff, fame, and money.

Why are you right for the part? Why!?! Because I am Pepe the King Prawn, okay! That is why!. Unbelievable!

Sounds like Jayne to me.

Clifford should be Book. He's just cool.

Thinkin' Gonzo should be Simon (he never quit fits) and that would make Camilla Kaylee (she's never happy to see some other chick oggeling Gonzo...just like Kaylee). Might work.

Besides, Janice is just too, wow, I don't know, kinda, you know, wow, to be our Kaylee (or Zoe for that matter).

Personally, while I love Kermie, he's too sweet/soft to be Mal. I think he'd be a better Wash with Miss Piggie as Zoe. Yeah, Kermit usally plays the leading man, but I'm sure he's a big enough amphibian to let someone else have the spotlight.

Dr. Bunsen and Beeker, I agree, would have to be blue hands. They're creepifying enough.

Rizzo, hands down, is Badger.

I think Rolf might make a good Cap'n. I think there's a lot of untapped depth there. And, according to his bio, he's willing to "Work like a dog to make sure this picture isn't a dog." Sounds like our current BDH Cap'n, huh.

Still thinking about Inara anr River. I'll get back to ya.

RIVERNOT

Monday, August 15, 2005 10:08 PM

Okay, Janice for River. She may be, wow, I don't know, you know?, but she's killer with the guitar. (haha) (groan)

That would leave Morena as the human guest star.

He's got the torture song punctuated with him prodding someone with a steel impliment. "Bork, Bork, Bork."

Crew should all be muppets.
I can picture Bushwacked with the Alliance comander as the human guest, but his crew are Starship trooper dressed muppet rats.

Under two months to Serenity. I think i can make it.

omg, this thread is GREAT! I LOVE the Muppets!

someone was wondering if s1 of the Muppet Show was out on DVD. 'tis. it came out last Tuesday:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0009ULBGS/qid=112448077
5/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-5031406-6583929?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846

coolest boxed set EVER. do you want to know why? because the cover is fuzzy! it's fuzzy!! hee!

BLUECATSHIP

I'm a bit fuzzy on that, actually. -- The Muppets DVD, looking forward to it.

Well, this seemed like a good place for a good Scaper Browncoat to make his first post.

Muppets, Space Western, Firefly, Farscape. Yup, all good.

What bugs me is, I can't think of who should play Saffron / Brigit / Yolanda.

Sam the Eagle as Jubal Early. Or maybe Gonzo as Jubal Early. They're both kinda out-there, but not in the scarily bad way Jubal Early is.

Gonzo in drag as River? Or Beaker in drag as River? Either way.

The only problem with any muppet as Mal is his "aw, natural" ;) time in "Trash." Nude Muppets? Hey, it might happen. Wasn't Ernie in the tub with his rubber ducky? (Be careful on that vowel, sonny.) I'll totally ignore if they're anatomically correct Muppets. Totally.

Oh! I know, a disaffected Scooter as Tracey from "The Message."

-----

Some ideas for the Sesame Street Muppets as Firefly cast:

Mal = Kermit
Zoe = Miss Piggy on hiatus.
Wash = Big Bird, no question.
Inara = The Count, in drag.
Kaylee = Ernie, in drag. :rollseyes:
Jayne = Oscar the Grouch.
Vera = Oscar's Trash Can.
Simon = Bert, and is he implying something?
River = Grover, in drag. (Sorry, Grover.)
Book = Mr. Hooper Bob(?)

This leaves the Cookie Monster, who must have a part.

Also need parts for:

Solomon Grundy (Not gonna ask what he was doin' in that tub all that time....)

Snuffleupagus (just because);

Out the Airlock for:
Elmo. Sorry, Elmo, but I'm old-school Sesame Street. Grover rules, Elmo drools.

How about the Pigs In Space? Are they the Reavers? (Bacon! Bacon, bacon, bacon! You're bacon!) Bwahahaha!

Have any other artists tried their hand at the Muppets Firefly creation. Once again I list my preferences, but there are alot of great ideas throughout this thread.

Kermit as Mal
Animal as Jayne
Piggy as Inara
Fozzie as Wash
Janice as Zoe
Rolf as Book
Gonzo as Simon
& a crazy chicken as River

and Jewel as Kaylee - cuz you always gotta have a human guest for the show.

Well I got sent over here so I thought I would comply and do a couple of quick ones!

I figured any Rolf/ Book crossover would constitute reading a Bible and subsequently eating it (thus the half eaten book)

Nothing much but enjoy :)

The next batch of muppets to get the Firefly treatment will be Dr Bunsen, Miss Piggy and Gonzo. Hope to have them posted on line soon.

@Stillshiny: I'm currently working on a pic of Kermit wearing the brown coat too.

Someone said "muppets" so I decided to present the challenge again.

I just can't shake this picture out of my head. But i can't draw worth a flip. I so want to see this done. Personally, I'd love to see this as an actual episode. I mean come on the Muppets have done everything else. Why not Firefly? So there's the challenge, Heck, even photoshop it if you're that good.

Kermit as Mal
Animal as Jayne
Piggy as Inara
Fozzie as Wash
Janice as Zoe
Rolf as Book
Gonzo as Simon
& a crazy chicken as River

and Jewel as Kaylee - cuz you always gotta have a human guest for the show.

"I just can't shake this picture out of my head. But i can't draw worth a flip. I so want to see this done. Personally, I'd love to see this as an actual episode. I mean come on the Muppets have done everything else. Why not Firefly? So there's the challenge, Heck, even photoshop it if you're that good.

So there you have it, you artisty folk. That goes especially for you oh glorious MPHILLIPS!!!

For any inspiration..check out some of the submissions on this thread. The photoshop stuff done by UNREGISTEREDCOMPANION is still the slideshow screen-saver on my wife's computer.
