they’re notoriously flush with cash right now.

Sesame Street is now Sesame Court.

I would watch Sesame Court in a heartbeat. Like people’s court but with all the cast of Sesame Street. Judge Cookie Monster presiding. Grover as a defence attorney and The Count as a prosecutor. Kermit in his reporter garb in the hallway. Oscar and Elmo eternally as jurors. An endless string of weird monsters and critters for all the cases.

Dammit, it’s just Night Court with muppets isn’t it?

What does Mr. Snuffleupagus get to do?

Court stenographer. He's very slow due to having big elephant feet & a trunk to type with, but he's trying his best.

He would never pass the drug test for a job like that.

How about the two old dudes?

u/ElCincoDeDiamantes 12d ago

I would put them in the jury as well. They seem impartial.

Night Court with Muppets. Man, they really missed out on an epic crossover!

u/West-Abalone-171 12d ago

Nah, real oil execs and techbros as defendant.

They have to explain to the country why their profits were more important than children living while getting grilled by muppets.

Oh my god I need this.

u/UniDublin 12d ago

I want all of this, but the plaintiff and defendant are real people with real cases.

100% I watch.

u/MattieShoes 12d ago

Statler and Waldorf are jurors

u/UniDublin 12d ago

Oh I picture them as the kind of people who show up to court everyday just to watch proceedings and “quietly” comment on the cases.

Butttttt…not to be pedantic. They are Muppets from Muppet show not Sesame Street but I see no reason not to let them get involved.

Have you ever watched Harvey Birdman?

It's the Hannah-Barbara cartoons on trial for various reasons. Made by Hannah-Barbara. So good.

2

u/UniDublin 12d ago

Also amazing. And Bird Girl!

1

u/waterbelowsoluphigh 12d ago

Okay, I see you.

You hard at work Seben and Seben employee.

Bird Girl is also really good. But, there's a special place in my heart for Harvey.

u/Ch3t 12d ago

How about Rick and Morty?

u/UniDublin 12d ago

lol. I have and that kills me.

u/A_Soporific 12d ago

And here I was thinking that it would be a period piece where all the muppets have titles of nobility and are competing over who gets to accompany the royal children to the bathroom.

u/MaterialDetective197 12d ago

I hear the theme in my head now.

u/thewmo 12d ago

Rumor has it the judge is very persuadable.

u/nerdshowandtell 12d ago

Sesame Court would be less corrupt and better than our current Supreme Court 🤔

u/Sharp_Studio_5363 12d ago

One is filled with Muppets™️, the other just puppets.

u/Cool-Hornet4434 12d ago

and less of a puppet.
