Muppets To Rewrite "History"

[DToTheJ]

The company behind "The Real World" is joining forces with Jim Henson's people for a new pop-culture reenactment show titled "History Of," in which certain historic events will be reenacted by, you guessed it, Muppets.

I bet History Channel will be airing this in two years.

The Muppets have already "reenacted" plenty of historical events, as some of these Sesame Street clips indicate:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar6cFIfPFW4&feature=relmfu (Kermit's "Sesame Street News" flash at the Boston Tea Party, but the Muppet colonists instead throw anything beginning with the letter T into Boston Harbor)

Don't forget these:

That might be a rewrite of history, right there! There was more than one cherry tree chopped down? I'm thinking that this whole cherry tree incident is nothing more than urban legend, anyway.

I prefer Mr. Peabody & Sherman for *my* history.....

WB tried that cartoon called "Histeria!" in the 90s, to qualify for E/I, I suppose....it bombed big time, did it not?

Have there ever been any popular non-PBS E/I shows? besides maybe Saved by the Bell(but today's kids don't watch that) or some Nick Jr. shows

How some of these shows like "S.B.T.B." get an E/I are totally beyond me....
