Fuzzy’s TV Spin-Off Means A Bizarre Night Court-Coneheads Mashup
Who doesn’t love a good TV spin-off? In Fuzzy’s hands, a spin-off turns into a bizarre Night Court-Coneheads mashup that pretty much defies description.
Television spin-offs are a staple of the industry, going as far back as the 1940’s.
Some spin-offs are better than the original show.
Some spin-offs are just abject failures – look no further than Joanie Loves Chachi.
A (very) Partial List of TV Spin-Offs
All In the Family – The Jeffersons, Maude
Cheers – Frasier
Friends – Joey
Happy Days – Joanie Loves Chachi, Laverne & Shirley
How I Met Your Mother – How I Met Your Father
That 70’s Show – That 90’s Show
The Big Bang Theory – Young Sheldon
The Real Housewives of Orange County – all those other Real Housewives of… shows
And let’s not forget about TV shows that have turned into movies, either.
Batman, Mission Impossible, The Addams Family, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. are just a small sample of shows that have moved on to the big screen.
In this week’s episode of Fuzzy’s Weird News, the one and (thankfully) only Executive Producer Michael Fuzzy Lee goes a step further.
He takes a popular sitcom of the 1980’s and 90’s in Night Court, and does a mash up with the Conehead characters found in Saturday Night Live.
The results?
About what you might expect from Fuzzy.
Weird News – the Spin-Off/Mash Up Episode
Time now for WDHA’s Weird News with Michael Fuzzy Lee
Today in Weird News, a 64-year-old Massachusetts woman, a big fan of The Bold and the Beautiful, is accused of trying to poison her 73-year-old husband who fell ill after eating a bowl of soup.
The couple’s daughter, who suspected something wasn’t right, noticed text messages on her mother’s phone from someone named Thorsten asking her to send him money and urging her to get rid of her husband.
The 73-year-old did recover from the poisoning and did recall how bitter the soup was.
The Thorsten on her phone was not the real Bold and the Beautiful star. He was a scammer who just milked around $8,000.
Wow, with all the drama going on, you could take parts of this story, sprinkle in a little comedy, and you get a Night Court episode with Judge Stone.
Presenting Night Court, Fuzzy Style
JUDGE STONE – Order in the court! Will the defendant please rise and state your case?
OLD LADY – Your Honor, I really didn’t mean to poison my husband. I just wanted to be with my new boyfriend, Thorsten Scammer, the TV star. He makes me feel young again.
ATTORNEY DAN FIELDING – Your Honor, as a defendant’s lawyer, met the record show, but a 64-year-old client has two protruding goiters coming from her neck like waffle cones.
She may be related to space aliens, but I assure you, she ain’t bald, she ain’t beautiful, and she ain’t no vanilla soft-serve ice cream either.
JUDGE STONE – Mr. Fielding, you’re supposed to defend your client, not mock her. You do this all the time.
ATTORNEY FIELDING – Yeah, well-being real lawyer is overrated. Aren’t we done yet? Oh, calm down.
Meet the Coneheads
JUDGE STONE – Listen, lady, I have to send you to jail, but we do have incredible counselors available for you to address your loneliness. I present to you, Beldar and Prymaat, the Coneheads.
Would you please tell us about yourselves?
We’ll start with you, Beldar.
BELDAR – Greetings. I am a driving instructor.
PRYMAAT – I’m Prymaat. I maintain our home base and enjoy preparing mass quantities, of some consumables for my family unit.
OLD LADY – Why, thank you, Judge, for the counselors. We have so much in common. Your cone is as big as my cone. I would pay you for your time, but I’m out $8,000. But tell me, do you enjoy soup?
PRYMATT – Certainly, we would enjoy consuming mass quantities of any substance you have to offer.
The Case Concludes
LAWYER FIELDING – Oh, Lord, I think I heard enough.
JUDGE STONE – And with that, justice has now been served. This court is adjourned.
FUZZY – And that’s DHA’s Weird News.
FUZZY – Aw, shucks. That is kind of a bummer for a kid, and that’s DHA’s Weird News.
