Muppets in high school? (Will Rogers Institute PSA, 2006)

During 2005-6, the Muppets appeared in a series of PSA's for the Will Rogers Institute. These spots were shown at AMC Theatres across the country, meaning they didn't get played in theatres in the home district.

In this piece, Ms. Piggy, Gonzo, & Fozzie hassle a teenage girl with reminders about school functions and so on, and she writes notes on her arm so she can remember. Now, of course, that's wrong, because she should've had a note pad. Teri Hatcher (Desperate Housewives, ex-Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) appears at the end, along with Kermit, and Statler & Waldorf.



There would be more spots, featuring Wayne Brady, Tommy Lee Jones, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I'll see if I can find those for future use. Since this involves teens, I'd think this could've gotten some play on network or syndicated television, too.
