Been watching the early seasons of The Muppets via Netflix. Last night:
The Phantom of Muppet Theatre: “I played Hamlet! I played Othello!! I was killed on opening night.”
Kermit the Frog : “Who killed you?”
Phantom: “The critics.”
<cue laugh track>
My kids? “Daddy, Othello! Hamlet! Shakespeare!”
I like that they recognized Othello, because we don’t talk about that one much at the house. Hamlet they’d recognize, though, sure. I should break out the board game, they’ll get a kick out of that.
