Netflix Will Finally Release Its Star-Studded ‘Green Eggs and Ham’ Series This Year

Season 1? Are they implying they'll make more? How can you possibly make more than one season out of a children's book like this? Scratch that, how can you make more than one episode? Let me recap the entire plot for you:

"Guy is offered a meal he thinks looks gross but keeps getting offered, he keeps refusing until he gives in and it turns out he likes it."

That's it, this plot could at best cover like five minutes.

WTF, Netflix.

I could think of at least three ways to stretch this out into a full season.

#1. GrimDark Green Eggs and Ham
#2. Green Eggs and Ham Porn Parody
#3. ... GrimDark Porn Parody? I dunno, man. It's frickin' Green Eggs and Ham.

How DID the eggs turn green? For that matter, why IS the ham green? What SHADE of green are the eggs and ham? Are they the SAME shade or some subtle differences? Were ALL the options and locations for eating them explored? Why not in tiny home or a converted duplex? Who WAS this fox? See, there are SO many avenues to explore...

I don't want them to explain, so please, just refrain.
Not the goat, not the boat. Not the house, not the mouse.
Not the fox nor the box. I do not want to, Xav I have.
I do not care if green eggs and ham were a sham.
I not care if they came from a wizard or a lizard.
I do not care, Xav I have. Don't explain, so just refrain.

I always liked that book as a kid and i loved the Depatie-Freleng version as a kid as well.

But how the hell can you turn a book like that into a series?

There IS one possibility. It could just be the continuing adventures of Sam I Am and his friend as they explore other common things kids don't like and try to put a positive spin on it.

That actually sounds pretty decent.

Although I like my ideas better.

What if they opened a restaurant that served other unique food? Maybe a food truck where they travel and meet other characters. That could be fun.

This makes no sense for a series, why not just a Dr Sue's book into an animated series instead? At least you can animate all the books into episodes filling up the series seasons, how the neck are they going to do this with one story?

My thoughts exactly...heck make it a series with 2 11 minute Suess shorts per episode with an all-star cast, and heck even original songs if you want...maybe 22 minute episodes of the longer books...it would be perfect and a way to get some of the lesser known books some exposure.
