One half of the folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel (with TMS season 5 guest star Paul Simon) who, at the time, was forging a new career for himself as a solo artist and film actor. Submitted for your approval: "It's The Muppet Show, with our very special guest star, Art Garfunkel!" SPECIAL...

Think the 3 respective companies are testing the waters to see if the fans and/or the general public want to see more crossovers? The video from the Jim Henson Company only has 160K views, that's hardly going viral, but the fan excitement is there. What do you suppose we'd see out of...

Correction:

Before she was the Emmy-nominated star of "One Day at a Time", Bonnie Franklin was also a Tony-nominated Broadway musical actress for "Applause", and would go on to appear in the first season of "Shalom Sesame". Thanks to @groverandgrapes for the crossover idea! SPECIAL GUEST STAR: BONNIE...

Special thanks to @kathy26 for the opening Fozzie joke and @MartyMuppets for his graciousness over our "great minds think alike" idea that found its way into TMS outlines by each of us. SPECIAL GUEST STAR: CHER STYLE: EARLY SEASON ONE (circa Harvey Korman, Rita Moreno) OPENING THEME...

Forgot to mention, the goodnights ARE in front of the red curtain per usual.
