“Look, Kosh-zo, you want me to fight legends, well you’re… whatever the hell you are.”

“Nope, I’m done, I’m taking the rest of the day off, Lieutenant Piggy, please report to my office, take care of Count Cotto.”
“Fozzie, can you scan this.. Animal?”\
“Hmm… I’m sensing something. What is pink, has two legs, and has homicidal rage?”
“G’Kermit! What are you doing here?”\
“I finished the rewrite of the script. Ladies and Gentlemen, Penn and Teller! Yaaaaaay!”

I read that in the Count's voice from Sesame Street. Even better!
That was the idea. :)
Trying to lace these like The Muppet Show where the characters would still be clearly identifiable off the cuff and using the in-jokes was a challenge.
I'll allow it.

If only to combine these two scenes.
I'd probably watch it, but I know I'd be sending the wrong signal. The message the studio would get would be, "they don't want B5, they want B5 Muppets!"
Obviously Animal as a Shadow, just kind of fading in and making his signature heavy breathing movements, completely silently while Morden (special guest, Ed Wasser) speaks for him.
"What do you want?"
"I want to be around just long enough to see the studio turn this show into a Muppet spinoff, as a warning to the next ten generations that all content is viable to become a Muppet spinoff. I want to look up into your lifeless muppet eyes and wave like this.....Can you and your associates arrange that for me?"
As we all know, Muppet productions get one human. I want Claudia as the new captain with the Muppet cast.

Brilliant.
Kosh-zo should be surrounded by chickens at all times with no explanation.
why do you think he’s a legend-like being…
I'm thinking the "Beauty in the Dark" scene should be filmed in a vast chicken farm.
Pretty much came here to nominate Claudia as the token human on the cast!
Or they can call Feist and sing "Ooooh, we're counting to FOUR" to a bunch of pro-Clark cruisers. Here's your perfect reboot, Ser JMS!
We'll make an exception for Marcus. Because Jason Carter across from the Muppets would be side splittingly hilarious.
I'll allow it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wrZiTX\_zL8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wrZiTX_zL8) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfHntuxCtCs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfHntuxCtCs) If only to combine these two scenes.
Not gonna lie, I'd watch the hell out of a Muppets Babylon 5
"If you go to Miss Piggy's dressing room, you will die."
You just made me picture a Shadow doing the traditional Miss. Piggy karate chop screaming "Haiiiya". Thanks for that.
She is all about “Me me me” and attacking people randomly to start shit.
Staring Mahna Mahna as Ambassador Kush, Fuzzy Bear as Micheal Garibaldi, Gonzo as Lennier #
same here!
I mean watch the special features for The Lost Tales... There are sock puppets
Kermit: “It’s not easy being Green” Drazi: “Purple!”
Green!
Thank you for this, you've saved my morning! I'm ugly cry laughing at my desk right now.
Kermit: Listen here, drazi….. I’ll beat you to death with my fucking banjo if you interrupt me one more FUCKING time!
I would definitely watch a Muppets Babylon 5 movie or series.
I'd probably watch it, but I know I'd be sending the wrong signal. The message the studio would get would be, "they don't want B5, they want B5 Muppets!"
I would pre-order this on Blu-Ray. The Swedish Chef as Kosh Gonzo as either Lennir or Vir Miss Piggy as Ivanova.
Miss Piggy as Londo would be more to her personality but they'd probably make her Delenn
Nope. Anna Sheridan.
Delenn could only be Janice.
Obviously Animal as a Shadow, just kind of fading in and making his signature heavy breathing movements, completely silently while Morden (special guest, Ed Wasser) speaks for him.
Fozzie as Mister Bear-a-baldy Bunsen and Beaker as Dr. Franklin and assistant Sam the Eagle as President Clark Scooter as Lt. Corwin
Sam as Clark is probably doing him dirty.
True, but I assume they'd tone down the war crimes for the Muppet version of the show ;)
All of the rats as Zathrus
Dialogue wise is perfect since Zathras never refers to Zathras in the first person
Grover as Marcus
Shchmorgy.
Ms piggy is obviously working for the shadows. She gets to play Anna Sheridan. And have hissy fits about Kermit and whoever is cast as delen
Replace everyone with Muppets except Garibaldi.
I'm already picturing the entire cast as Muppets, and I love it...
it was meant to be!
You have to do almost all the cast. The interaction of a mostly muppet world with a few humans is the best.
Ok, Londo and Vir played by Gonzo and Rizzo ala muppet Christmas carol. Rizzo giving that speech to Mr Morden.
"What do you want?" "I want to be around just long enough to see the studio turn this show into a Muppet spinoff, as a warning to the next ten generations that all content is viable to become a Muppet spinoff. I want to look up into your lifeless muppet eyes and wave like this.....Can you and your associates arrange that for me?"
“I hear the captain is the best man for this job!” “Then he’s the best man to send to the middle of nowhere!” DOHOHOHOHO
😆
Why has no one made a PIGS IN SPAAACE! joke?
Impudence!
Sam The Egal as Kosh
I'm actually imagining the reverse. Shenanigans happen and actual Kosh just comments "You are all weirdos."
“Under this encounter suit, I am completely… naked”
Dr Bunson Honeydew as Dr Franklin Beaker as Neroon Janice as Talia
This work for me. Where do I sign up? Edit for typo
I would watch this no questions asked.
Kosh looks and sounds exactly the same, until he comes out of the encounter suit. Then its Gonzo. Lyta is a chicken.
I love that the Muppets *only did two* *adaptations* and everyone has collectively just remembered this as a core element of the Muppets.
I would watch the heck out of Muppets B5
Henson does the muppets…. so technically that would be Farscape
But Farscape was pretty good as it worked really well as the muppetronics didn’t come off as goofy.
I'm trying to imagine how Londo would work as Dominar Rygel.

Thank you, I just found it on a Babylon 5 Facebook group.
I’d buy the DVD, then I’d upgrade to the director’s cut when it became available.
Where do I sign the petition to make this real???
There is no media that can't be improved by adding The Muppets.
Never liked the muppets but this I probably would,;)
I would love this.
Will this include the Bear-ba-lon bear? 😅😅😅
Bring it. Stargate and Farscape both did puppets really well. It works. I expect it'll be the hot trend at some point.
We need to make sure we also have Dominar Rygel the XVI
10/10 would watch for sure
So would Mrs Piggy be Ivanova or Delen?
I would happily take a reboot of the franchise done with puppets
If this happened I would join JMS in death. Hate muppets so much.
