Musical Interlude: Keep Fishin' (2002)

 Rivers Cuomo and Weezer are real pop culture fans.

8 years after using footage from Happy Days for the video for "Buddy Holly", the band joins up with the Muppets for "Keep Fishin'". 

The plot? Drummer Patrick Wilson is being held prisoner by an infatuated Ms. Piggy, who goes full diva when she reaches the stage. At least the Muppets were able to lend some help, including Animal on drums, until Wilson joins the party. For this, they recreated the set of The Muppet Show.

  1. You should do a What Might Have Been TV entry about Six Pack (1983).

    Apparently, they were going to do a TV show about the 1982 Kenny Rogers movie a year later, with Don Johnson and Markie Post as the leads:

    IMDB: Six Pack (1983)

  2. If I can find a video for it, I will. I do remember they tried it. For CBS, IIRC.
