Kermit and Fozzie debate what (and who) is real, and Kermit and Miss Piggy go house/window shopping, from a camera test on the deluxe anniversary edition Muppet Movie DVD. I don't know about you, but I would absolutely love to see HBO or Showtime go through all this footage and put together a special called Muppets After Dark. As a bonus, the always simmeringly-angry Piggy finally deals with her issues and apologizes to Kermit for years of abusive drama. Way to go girl! Don't let it happen again!
And the general pop culture has changed to the point where the ironic, sardonic nature of these scenes would resonate. I can't help thinking that when Muppet Movie director James Frawley turned off the camera in 1979, both Jim Henson and Frank Oz turned to him and said, "Holy shit, Jim! What did we just do? Are you sure you have to develop that? If you do, PLEASE make sure that no one EVER sees it! Okay?".
