An TV *series* based on the short Dr Seuss book?!? There's not even
enough in that book to make a movie, let alonfe a TV series. This will
be complete garbage well worth avoiding. It'll have almost nothing to
do with the book and they make up loads of ill-fitting nonsense of
their own. :-\

Green Eggs and Ham: Netflix reveals voice cast for Dr. Seuss series
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has officially announced the star-studded voice cast for
their upcoming animated series titled Green Eggs and Ham, based on
Dr. Suess' iconic children's book of the same name. Pitch Perfect
alum Adam Devine and Academy Award winner Michael Douglas (Wall
Street) are set to lead the cast as the voices of Sam I am and Guy
Am I, respectively. Check out the show's first teaser below!

Teaser Trailer:


Green Eggs and Ham will also be featuring the voices of Ilana
Grazer (Rough Night), Oscar winner Diane Keaton (Annie Hall),
Eddie Izzard (The Lego Batman Movie), Tracy Morgan (30 Rock),
Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), Jeffrey Wright (Westworld),
Jillian Bell (Goosebumps), John Turturro (Transformers) and Daveed
Diggs (Hamilton).

It will follow the story of Guy and Sam, two friends who decided
to go on an epic road trip across the country in order to save an
endangered animal from a far off zoo. Through their journey, they
will be learning to try new things like hope, friendship, and a
certain delectable dish. The series' officially synopsis reads:

"The story of Green Eggs and Ham is like a postmodern
Plains, Trains and Automobiles through the whimsical
world of Dr. Seuss. Sam rescues the rare Chickeraffe
from the Glurfsburg Zoo, hides it in a briefcase,
and attempts to make his way to Meepville where he
can charter a cold air balloon to take the
Chickeraffe to his island home.

Guy just flopped his last big chance at being a
world famous inventor for the industrial Snerz Co.
He packs up his invention in a briefcase and resigns
to give up on his dreams and become a paint watcher. 
A chance meeting at a diner with Sam, and a switch
up with the briefcases results in these two unlikely
souls getting mixed up on an adventure that takes
them on a journey of self discovery.
 
Our two mismatched heroes cross paths with
overprotective Michellee, whose daughter, EB,
desperately wants a pet, and falls madly in love
with the Chickeraffe... despite her mother's fears
that it will eat off her face (it won't).
Michellee's walled up heart also connects with the
heart-hardened Guy. And a laborious love story
begins. Our fakakta foursome are also unknowingly
pursued by a bounty hunter goat, two bad guys, and
a villain who's out to get the Chickeraffee as his
ultimate trophy."

Based on the classic global best-selling book by Dr. Seuss
(Theodor Seuss Geisel), "Green Eggs and Ham" will be
adapted for television by Jared Stern (The LEGO Movie
Sequel), who will also serve as executive producer
alongside Ellen DeGeneres, Jeff Kleeman, Mike Karz and
David Dobkin. The animated family comedy is from A Very
Good Production, A Stern Talking To and Gulfstream
Television in association with Warner Bros Animation, and
distributed by Warner Bros. Television.

The animated series is set to premiere this fall,
exclusively on Netflix.

I'm just happy they had the short 1973 segment on DePatie-Freleng Productions and Dr.Seuss's Cat in the Hat Productions "DR.SEUSS ON THE LOOSE" with Paul Winchells as both voices (the bumpers, with the Cat in the hat, were Allan Sherman's was work before his untimely death.)
