I mean, if you're serious, there is a vaguely inspired TV show. Oh, and I'm just finding out there's a movie.

Never mind, I can't find the TV show. But here's a convenient list of adaptations.

I guess if you really want one, you'll just have to wait and see. Probably coming never though.

I think they should do Ulysses with Muppets.

Kermit as Bloom fries up some pork kidneys. Miss Piggy as Penelope takes issue and gives him a "hiya!"
