It's like Tex-mex but with muppets

So fusion is all about taking complimentary flavors and smashing them together to get something great. That's almost what we have for the next great idea. I seem to remember this came to us during a very hot August while putting a roof on.

Title: D stands for Do the Right Thing
Plot: Have you seen Do the Right Thing? Have you seen Sesame Street? Ok you can see how the thing writes itself. It's just a matter of mapping the characters correctly.

Cast:
Mookie: Big Bird
Buggin Out: Oscar
Radio Raheem: Snuffleupagus (sp?)
Sal: Hooper (yeah I know he's dead, what about what his name, one of the human guys..yeah him)
Da Mayor: the Count? I can't remember who we had cast for Da Mayor...Ben do you know?
Bedford-Stuvesant: Sesame Street
Racial Tension between black and white? Speciel tension between muppet and human....

Finer moments:
racial epithet scene based on physical difference between muppets and humans.
Watching Big Bird throw a garbage can through a window.
oo! oo! maybe we can do a little muppet show cross over and have the old balcony guys and the swedish chef as the old guys who sit on the corner all day.

The Count was gonna be the grocery store owner so he could count to "twenty mother fucker, twenty "d" energizers"

I think Snuffleupagus was gonna be Da Mayor and Radio Raheem was gonna be Harry Monster with three finger rings: LUV and HAT

And the epithet scene went like this: "you blue fauxfur having, googley eyed, cookie masticating, mosnter, go the fuck back to monsterland!"
