Hey, I'm a musical junkie too. In fact, I could prolly cast the Muppets in just about any show except for "Cats"...too many DOGS, FROGS, PIGS, and CHICKENS to pull off a credible version of CATS!
I came up with an idea casting the Muppets in Joseph characters a while back, as well as for...
I've come up with NUMEROUS ones...
Dr. Strangepork inventing a teleporter that beams Elmo onto the "Pigs In Space" set. "Elmo not supposed to be here..."
Various "Veterinarian's Hospital" bits which include cameos from Oscar the Grouch, Mokey Fraggle, and Guy Smiley.
I just thought of...

Recently on "Sesame Street" they brought in a new kid (Emily) who has braces on her legs and needs a walker to move around, and they had her meeting Maria, Big Bird, Telly (Emily is also a Triangle Lover), Elmo (Emily had a goldfish too), and Oscar. At the end, everyone sang "Sing", with minimal...
Charlie of Charlie's Restaurant has not been seen visibly.
Simon the Sound Man and Fat Blue (Mr. Johnson) are the same Muppet, but two different characters. In one of the skits where Grover serves Simon, Simon reveals himself to be Mr. Johnson's brother.

1. Who did Big Bird name his teddy bear, Radar, after?
C. Gary Burghoff
Carroll Spinney had met actor Gary Burghoff and hit it off, so he had Big Bird name his teddy bear Radar, after Mr. Burghoff's character on "M*A*S*H".
2. In which year was Mr. Snuffleupagus revealed to be real...
While we're on the whole M*A*S*H kick, I would've liked to have seen McLean Stevenson or Jamie Farr on the show.
If anyone hasn't mentioned Walter Matthau, he would have been great with the Muppets. I could see him interacting quite well with Statler & Waldorf. I also wouldn't have minded...
Thad Mumford? I wonder if it's the same Thad Mumford who worked behind the scenes on "M*A*S*H", thus furthering the Muppet/M*A*S*H connection (Loretta Swit on the Muppet Show, Big Bird naming his teddy bear Radar).
"Oh how lovely life will be, if we keep the ten commandments of health!"
Gorgon Heap, I did read your Muppet Show outline and loved it! Billy Joel would've been PERFECT for the Muppet Show in its prime.
And here are the words to "Decomposing Composers". I discovered this song on a comedy CD, "Monty Python Sings", many years ago. In thinking about UK spots, I...
I don't know about Little Chrissy or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if Christopher Cerf voiced another "rock star" Muppet. As for the Rhymies, they were Larry, Mary, and Barry. Larry and Mary liked to have fun all the time while Barry pretty much played the Boober Fraggle role. Larry sounded...
SPECIAL GUEST STAR: THE ROCK
OPENING THEME
OPENING NUMBER: The Electric Mayhem and various other Muppets perform "Good Lovin'".
BACKSTAGE: The Rock tells Kermit that he hopes no one takes his wrestler persona seriously. No sooner does he say this than a giant monster challenges him to a...
I loved his first appearance (when he wasn't so nice) in "The Frog Prince". His voice was actually a lot lower in this one (he was voiced by Carl Banas, not Richard Hunt). He sang a really cool song about how he was going to pretty much make Kermit and Robin into sour mash, but the frogs outwit...
Hmmmm...well, Herbert Birdsfoot was the lavender Anything Muppet rod puppet (also used for Smart Tina and various others). He had brown hair and a brown moustache, and horn-rimmed glasses, and often wore a business suit. Hope that helps. =)
Herbert Birdsfoot was often used in skits to...
I don't know the individual names of Chrissy and the Alphabeats, but there were three of them: Chrissy himself (the squat blue Anything Muppet with wild, blonde hair, beady black eyes, and John Lennon glasses), a pink Anything Muppet with a pompadour hairstyle and a green Anything Muppet, also...

I already mentioned this to Byron, but if Henson had done "The Letter People", here's who I think would have voiced which Letter People:
JIM--Mr. M, Mr. W, Mr. X
FRANK--Mr. D, Mr. G, Mr. K, Mr. R, Mr. T
JERRY--Mr. C, Mr. N, Mr. P, Mr. V, Mr. Z
RICHARD--Mr. F, Mr. H, Mr. J, Mr. L
DAVE--Mr...
