American Mayhem

A series proposed to The Jim Henson Company by Darin McGowan in which the ghost of Dave Brubek visits Dr. Teeth in a dream and tells him to give rock n' roll back to the children of America. They’ve been ruined by too many "boy bands and barbie dolls." So, the Mayhem takes to the roads, touring from town to town, delivering the message of post-hippy rock n' roll - finding a new problem in each town they visit.

After his pitch for this and two other animated series (Muppets 75 and American Mayhem), McGowan was told that the company would not be going in the direction of animation for the core Muppet characters. Shortly thereafter, the Muppets were sold to The Walt Disney Company.
