The December 2000 issue of the Writers' Guild magazine, Written By, featured interviews with Muppet writers Jim Lewis, Kirk Thatcher and John Derevlany. It was mentioned that one of the projects Thatcher had in development for the Muppets was a silly Goosebumps-type TV show called "Uncle Deadly's House of Badness". The project never got off the ground, and it is unknown if a pilot was filmed or if a script was even completed.
