    Come up with an idea for a Muppet Skit!!!

    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...

    Guests you wish had appeared on The Muppet Show

    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!"

    Another Muppet Show Episode Idea

    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...

    Official Sweetums Thread

    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...

    Herbert Birdsfoot

    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...
