My personal favorites:

"What...

Rizzo (finger cymbals in Paul Simon TMS ep)
Roosevelt Franklin (I...

In case you're wondering who Jeffry Denman is, he is a very talented Broadway actor/dancer/singer who appeared in numerous shows including "Cats", "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying", and "The Producers". He also has created a musical, "Dancing In The Dark", which is a homage to...

Daddy Warbucks/Kermit
Miss Hannigan/Miss Piggy (and watch her hit the roof over this casting)
Grace/Annie Sue
Rooster/Gonzo
Lily/Janice
Bert Healy/Guy Smiley (although quite frankly, Scooter is better off singing "You're Never Fully Dressed Without A...

SPECIAL GUEST: DONALD O'CONNOR
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: Scooter and Annie Sue sing "Sixteen Going On Seventeen".
Waldorf: "I remember when I was sixteen going on seventeen..."
Statler: "Ah yes...would that be when the wheel was invented or when fire was discovered?"...
(NOTE: In memory of Richard, and because of a certain special friend of mine, this is going to be a very Scooter-centric episode.)
SPECIAL GUEST STAR: BILL MURRAY
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: Fozzie Bear sings "Shipoopi" with various Muppets. (I always thought this production number...
It's been eleven years since Richard left us. I still find it hard to believe. I remember the shock I felt when I saw the Sesame Street CD "We Are All Earthlings" at Best Buy and saw "In Memory of Richard Hunt" on the back.
I couldn't believe it...this was the guy who performed Statler...
SPECIAL GUEST: ROD STEWART
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER--A group of woodland creatures sing "See The Water Run" near a dried-up riverbed. At the end of the song, a large rainstorm starts, making the river overflow.
Waldorf: "Well, what did you think of that?"
Statler: "This show...
(I don't know how keen the bassman would be on a thread called "Why We Love Floyd".)
But why is Floyd just so awesome?
To say that Floyd (and the rest of the band) are somewhat otherworldly is an understatement. The Electric Mayhem are often in two places at one time: the here and now...
Ever like one of those characters who had so much potential, yet was sorely underused (except for ensemble numbers)?
I have one, and I wish they had used him a lot more.
Uncle Deadly was rarely used after the third season of The Muppet Show, and I wish they had kept him on. I can think of...
It's about time the go-fer got his due. We've made these threads for Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo and Rowlf.
I think Scooter has a bit of a universality to him because in a way, we all know a Scooter or have met one in our lives. The new kid at your job who tries really hard to please everybody just...
As Crazy Harry's New Year's fireworks display can be seen and heard on the Muppet Boarding House grounds, I decided to emerge from "browser" status and come back to wish a Happy New Year to one and all.
I'm glad to have a place where my brand of comedy can truly be appreciated. I dig all you...
(NOTE: This will be my last outline for a couple of weeks. I'm taking a brief hiatus from actively posting due to personal reasons.)
SPECIAL GUEST: DAVID BOWIE
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: Kermit introduces the opening number after being accosted by Sam about having some culture on...
Come on, what's there to hate about Ol' Brown Ears himself?
Besides Kermit, Rowlf is probably the most sane of the Muppet family. He's been around as long as Kermit has and he's probably seen everything, so he knows what to expect out of the rest of his friends, and like Kermit, he accepts...
We all know why we love Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Scooter. Believe it or not, though, there are some Muppets that I'm not too crazy about.
Of all the Muppets ever made, I think I like Marvin Suggs the least. You may have noticed that he's not in too many outlines I've written, and the...
