Jenny Rappaport–over at Lit Soup–cites a NY Times article saying, that under Disney, the Muppets are set to return. She’s posted several of her favorite Muppet shticks on her blog.
Ms Rappaport didn’t post my favorite, the Lobster sketch (aka the Loobster sketch). It’s the Swedish Chef planning to cook a lobster. What could go wrong?
According to the NY Times article, a feature film is in the offing for 2010 and “[m]eanwhile the Muppets will work overtime elsewhere, appearing on a new float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, on ‘Nightline’…” And don’t forget the merchandise…
I loved the Swedish Chef bits. Beaker and Bunsen were also favorites.
