The Return of "Muppet What-Ifs?"

[Philip Kippel]

After some thought, I thought it would be fun to revive the "Muppet What-Ifs" that we used to do. To start, I have a few:

What if Kermit fell in love with the REAL Lady Holiday? (Hee, hee, hee)
What if "The Rhyming Song" rhymed?
What if "Fraggle Rock" was "Doozer Rock"?
What if the Gorgs went into "Outer Space"? (Uh, oh)
What if Uncle Travelling Matt went into the "other" Outer-Space?
What if Beaker said "You, you, you" instead of "Me, me, me"?
What if Hilda stayed on "The Muppet Show" after the first season?
What if the Fraggles loved to work?
What if the Doozers loved to play?
What if Dr. Teeth couldn't play the keys?
What if Animal couldn't play the drums?
What if Janice couldn't play the guitar?
What if Floyd couldn't play the bass?
What if Zoot couldn't play the sax?
What if Lips couldn't play the trumpet?
What if the Electric Mayhem broke up?
What if the "Traveling Musicians" DID become Traveling Musicians?
What if Melora DIDN'T kiss Robin?
What if Big Mean Carl was "Big Friendly Carl"?

Any others? Feel free to share them.

What if Kermit didn't have a collar?
What if Robin did?
What if Skeeter was a regular character?
What if Scooter was still around?
What if "Muppets Tonight" was still on the air?
What if Muppet Central had an official relationship with The Jim Henson Company?
What if Odyssey was still part-owned by Henson?
What if there WAS a 24-hour Henson network?
What if Jim Henson did buy Walt Disney Productions in the '80s?
What if there WERE sequels to "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth?"
What if another rock band did a video with the Muppets?
What if EM.TV never ran into financial turmoil?
What if Oscar was still orange?
What if Snuffy was still unseen? (That'd be annoying.)

That's all I got.

What if Statler and Waldorf did not yell what they disliked about the show?

what if cookie monster hated cookies?

what if big bird were actually a little bird?

Not much all i have for now though.

 

[BoyRaisin2]

What if Jim Henson didn't name his puppets "Muppets?"

To Ernie101: "Bert is Evil."

 

[Jonathan]

what if jim henson was still living?

 

[Philip Kippel]

What if Kermit didn't fire (or re-fire) Wayne and Wanda?

What if Sam Eagle succeeded in bringing culture onto "The Muppet Show" without something going wrong?

What if the villians in the Muppet Movies succeeded? (Uh, oh)

What if the Muppaphones went on strike?

Nope, he means it just the way he said it. Henson was a contender for the Mouse House until Roy Disney, Stanley Gold and the Bass Brothers stepped up to bat. Bernie Brillstein began petitioning interest a little too late. This was all covered in an article at LaughingPlace.

Alright, I came across this last night and thaught it might be fun to bump up. Kev, if you or any other mod sees this, I think it might be a good idea to move it to the games section. Up to you, of course.


What if Jerry Juhl was still alive and writing?
What if some of the lesser-seen muppets had bigger parts in the movies?
