For anyone who’d like to see Fozzie take the gloves off and really f— s— up, remove all liquids and gels from your person and fly to Scotland for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There, you’ll find Jim Henson’s Puppet Improv, the innocuously named Muppet show with the split personality: a clean show for kids in the afternoon, a blue one for adults in the evening. Sounds unauthorized? Not so: At the helm is none other than Brian Henson, son of Jim, who says: "There is something really therapeutic for us about this adult improv."
Now the Muppets have made some questionable appearances, in their four decades of existence. The Muppet Show was designed with adults in mind, and Henson et al. loved their double entendres. But doing riffs on Ricky Martin’s backup singers as a coterie of hot-dog puppets is definitely a more direct approach. This is blowback from the Avenue Q/Crank Yankers/Team America puppets-for-grownups revival, and I imagine fans will be split. Some people I know have real trouble with the whole "dirty Muppet" thing — I remember their horror when Scooter appeared as a cage dancer in It’s a Very Muppet Christmas. (Come to think of it — that was pretty horrifying.)
But no holds barred Muppet improv? Watching puppets-without-borders thinking on their imaginary feet? I’m there. I mean, I’m not really — I’m here. And not going anywhere, it would seem. I need too many airline-banned liquids and gels to keep my 563-year-old body alive.
I’m not sure I’d want to see that either. Not that I can get there – I don’t travel without toothpaste. In other Muppet news, Seasame Street is introducing the first new female muppet character in 13 YEARS! ’bout time, I’d say. http://www.insidebayarea.com/tv/ci_4150043#
I dont know about the show. But miss. Piggy is SEXY!!!!!!!!!
A lot of shows meant for grown ups first got marketed to kids. Just look at the Simpsons. Seasons one and two were all about Bart Simpson, until they realized there was much more universal appeal making it into the Homer Simpson show. Now that we’ve had to sit through the awful “made for kids” Muppet Babies, it’s time the series came back for grown ups. With Crank Yankers, Wonder Showzen and all these wanna bes on the market, it’s time for the originals to come back and show us their dirty britches!
Um, I find it odd that Scott Brown can talk so flippantly about the new water and gel ban at airports. I just got back to Los Angeles from a trip to England… on Tuesday. On American Airlines. If my plane had left one day later, I would now be stuck there, facing that huge nightmare of delays and uncertainty about whether or not I could ever get home. I’m still in shock about this whole thing, and feel terrible for those poor people. Not cool, dude.
I would mention Peter Jackson’s cult classic “Meet the Feebles”, but I wouldn’t want to accept responsibility for anyone actually watching it. (Whoops!)
When did Minnie Driver go blonde?
I unfortunately bought that (Meet the Feebles) thinking it would be funny. It turned out to be nothing but crude and very unhumorous garbage.
is it just me or are Ms. Piggy’s arms freakishly long?
I am embarassed and ashamed to admit to this, but as a kid I used to make out with my Miss Piggy puppet.
My Kermit didn’t seem to mind though.
We can only hope that there are no internet videos of that floating around.
They showed a snippet of the puppet improve at Comic-Con and it was hilarious! The whole room was digging it. I’m hoping that they are successful at developing it into a TV show. It was similar to Whose Line Is It Anyway, only with puppets.
The Muppets have been adult oriented since their very inception. The first TV show they did was a late night show in Washington D.C., and they were part of the first season of Saturday Night Live. It was not until Sesame Street that Jim Henson got into the kid-vid business, but even so, there was a certain sophistication to even the most innocuous Muppet series, even the Muppet Babies. Now I am watching the Statler and Waldorf At the Balcony segments in Movies.com, which indulge in the occasional risque line yet never take the low road. In a way, the adult Muppets are not so much a reassesment of the brand as a return to its long forgotten roots.
Um, The Sesame Street Muppets came years before SNL.
