Newhart
Dick Loudin - Kermit
Joanna Loudin - Miss Piggy
George Utley - Beauregard (I was tempted to have George the Janitor play George because they share a name, but Bo seems to fit the personality better)
Larry - Floyd
Darryl #1 - Zoot
Darryl #2 - Lips
Michael Harris - Link Hogthrob
Stephanie Vanderkellen - Spamela Hamderson
Leslie Vanderkellen - Janice
Kirk Devane - Pepe
Chester and Jim - Statler and Waldorf

(or maybe Dick can be played by George the Janitor, Joanna by Mildred, Stephanie by Miss Piggy, and Michael by Kermit).

Cheers
Sam - Kermit
Diane - Miss Piggy
Coach - Pops
Norm - Rowlf
Cliff - Fozzie
Woody - Gonzo

(or maybe Miss Piggy can play Rebecca and Miss Mousey can play Diane)

M*A*S*H
Hawkeye - Kermit
Trapper John - Rowlf
BJ Hunnicut - Fozzie
Radar - Scooter
Klinger - Gonzo
Hot Lips Houllihan - Miss Piggy

(Hmmm, or maybe Gonzo can be either Trapper John or BJ, and Fozzie could be Klinger. Fozzie seems more the type who'd want out of the army, and maybe even want to cross-dress, since several old comedians wore dresses for laughs. And Sam the Eagle would play the col., not sure what his name was. Or maybe leave Kermit out of this and have Gonzo and Rizzo as the leads).

Taxi
Alex Reiger - Kermit
Louie - JP Grosse (or Oscar the Grouch)
Elaine - Miss Piggy
Tony - Bobo
Reverend Jim - Zoot
Bobby - Fozzie
Latka - Pepe (or the Swedish Chef)

I still can't decide who would play Dan Fielding. Which Muppet could be that sleazy and likeable at the same time?
Er.... someone DOES come immediately to mind! :rolleyes:

Mildred as Gladys Kravitz
Fozzie Bear as Larry Tate
George the Janitor as Abner Kravitz
Gonzo as Uncle Arthur
Hilda as Aunt Clara

I've obviously got a few alternate character interpretations in mind, but I think they're nice fits. :big_grin:

ALF :- Gonzo as ALF, Kermit & Piggy as Willie and Kate, Janice as Lynne, Robin as Brian.

Happy Days :- Rizzo as 'The Fonz' - can't think of the others.
I love Alf! How about Dennis The Menace
Dennis Mitchell- Robin (he always means well)
Henry Mitchell- Kermit
Alice Mitchell- Piggy (of course)
George Wilson- Sam the Eagle
Martha Wilson- Who would be friendly , but still decent enough for Sam?
Margaret-Bettina or Belinda (not Annie Sue she's too sweet)
Tommy- Elmo
