Had Jim Henson been alive today at 71, many of the major Muppet franchises (both puppet and cartoon, including Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, Dog City, Bear in the Big Blue House, etc.) would've done this special, broken into several parts (it may be my best one yet):

(fade in to exterior of 123 Sesame Street, cut to Bert watching "The Wonderful World of Pigeons")

ERNIE: Bert! Oh, Bert!

BERT: What is it, Ernie? Can't you see I'm watching my favorite TV show right now?

ERNIE: I know, Bert, but me and the gang on Sesame Street just got an invitation to this birthday party for someone named Jim Henson... whom I haven't even heard of!

BERT: Oh, that's fine, Ernie. NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!

ERNIE: But, Bert, the invitation says you're invited. And it's going to have oatmeal cookies!

BERT: Oh, Ernie, would you just-- oatmeal cookies? What are we waiting for? Let's go!

BIG BIRD: I wonder if any of my international cousins have got this letter too. (We then see Abelardo Montoya and Pino reading letters in their respective languages of Spanish and Dutch)

(Ernie and Bert round up the rest of the gang on the street, and race off to Hollywood for the party)

(Next, exterior shot of the Muppet Theatre)

SCOOTER: Attention, Kermit! 20 seconds to curtain!

KERMIT: Uh, not now, Scooter. I want you to read this first.

SCOOTER: What is it?

KERMIT: See for yourself.

SCOOTER: (reading letter) "Dear everyone, you are invited to the 71st birthday party of Jim Henson. There will be fun and games, songs, and clips of his work. See you there, Guy Smiley." (to Kermit) Hey, this is a party we can all go to, and maybe you and Piggy can flirt a lot with each other.

MISS PIGGY: (talking on cell phone) Uh, Bernie, moi will have to call vous back later. Kissy kissy! (gets off cell phone) Did moi just hear that Kermie wants to flirt with moi at a birthday party? Moi would love to go with vous, Kermie! (kisses him)

KERMIT: All right everyone, we're leaving for the party! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

(next, cut to exterior shot of Fraggle Rock [the live-action one])

GOBO: (singing and playing guitar) While the sun goes down, I'll still be found, memories in my head--

TRAVELING MATT: Nephew, nephew! You got to read this! And I want your friends to hear it, too!

GOBO: What is it, Uncle Matt? Did you just get accepted into the Audobon Society?

TRAVELING MATT: No, Gobo, I have a letter regarding a party for some silly creature named Jim Henson!

GOBO: Oh. Wembley! Boober! Red! Mokey! Come and listen to this!

WEMBLEY: What is it, Gobo?

RED: Is it a free trial membership to the Fraggle Swimming Center? Woo-hoo-hoo!

GOBO: It says... (reads same letter Scooter read)

BOOBER: You mean it doesn't have anything to do with death and disease? Well, let's go then!

TRAVELING MATT: Yes, let's go! (all Fraggles cheer)

(next, cut to exterior shot of the Muppet Babies' nursery)

BABY KERMIT (to Nanny): Thanks, Nanny! Hmm... I wonder what it is. (looks at letter, then gasps) Piggy! Gonzo! Fozzie! Scooter! Rowlf! Skeeter! Animal! Listen to this! (reads letter)

BABY MISS PIGGY: Oh, Kermie! I can't wait for the party! And I can't wait to spend time with you, Kermie! (kisses him)

BABY GONZO: Uh... but who is this Jim Henson person, anyway?

BABY SCOOTER: Let me see... (searches "Jim Henson" on the Internet on his computer) Oh! Apparently, he's someone we look up to when Nanny's not around.

BABY SKEETER: Hey, Scooter, can I flip at the party?

BABY ROWLF: And I'll re-work my song I sang for you guys on Valentine's Day for this Jim dude! It'll be great!

NANNY: Now, don't forget to change into your proper clothes before you go!

ALL: Yes, Nanny! (they cheer as they race for the bathroom)

(Cut to shot of the cartoon Fraggle Rock exterior. We find Mokey watering her plant.)

CARTOON MOKEY: Oh, Lanford! You always brighten up my day!

CARTOON GOBO: Great news, Fraggles!

CARTOON BOOBER: Does that mean death and disease do not exist in this world anymore?

CARTOON WEMBLEY: Tell me, Gobo! Tell me! Wait, wait! Don't tell me! (screams and steam comes out his ears and his eyes go a little Cookie Monster on us)

CARTOON GOBO: (reads letter)

CARTOON RED: I can't wait to party, Gobo! Let's party!

(Cut to shot of Eliot Shag's household. We see him working on another Ace Hart cartoon.)

ELIOT: All right, Ace! Tell me, who is the culprit who robbed the Dog City bank?

ACE: I have discovered that the perpetrator is--

ARTIE: Mail call, Eliot!

ELIOT: Oh, Artie! What is it now? Did Terri break up with me?

ARTIE: No! Listen to this! (reads letter to Jim's party)

ELIOT: Hey, did you hear that, Ace?

ACE: Yeah, I heard about that party of yours! But who's going to create my stories while you're away?

ELIOT: Don't worry, Ace. I'll work on some new stories while we're at the party. Let's go, everyone!

(cut to exterior shot of the Big Blue House)

TUTTER: Oh, Cheddar! You are the best kind of cheese a mouse could have! (sighs)

BEAR: Hey, Tutter! I think maybe you and your friends oughta come in the living room so that I can read you this letter I got in the mail today!

TUTTER: HEY, EVERYONE! BEAR'S GOT A LETTER HE WANTS US TO HEAR!

(Ojo, Pip, Pop, and Treelo rush down the stairs)

TUTTER: Go ahead, Bear. Let's hear that letter.

BEAR: (reads letter) It says we're invited to a party for someone named Jim Henson!

OTHERS: Oh, yeah, great! We can't wait! Uh... who's Jim Henson?

BEAR: We'll find out at the party tonight! Let's go get cleaned up, guys!

ALL: Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

(cut to shot of Mopatop's Shop, and we see Mopatop cleaning his floor)

PUPPYDUCK: Mopatop! Mopatop! Listen to this! (reads letter)

MOPATOP: Now would be a jolly good time to go to this Jim Henson's party! Let's go, everyone!

(cut to shot of Bambaloo tree, Sam the Human sings "We Can Be" with her animal friends while special guest Ollie is reading a book to them, then a letter arrives and Jinx and Gypsy sing "Open It")

PORTIA: Ooh! Ooh! Who's it from?

OLLIE: It's from someone named Jim Henson!

FIDGET: Great! Uh... who is this Jim Henson, anyway?

OLLIE: Let me see. (reads letter) So, that's who Jim is, and he's inviting us to a party!

SAM: What are you waiting for, guys? Let's go! (They sing a new song called "Let's Go" as they travel out of the tree and into L.A. for the event)

(then, we cut to commercial)

So, how does it look so far? ;-)

It's fun, catchy, and cute!

I did giggle at this line though, "MOPATOP: Now would be a jolly good time to go to this Jim Henson's party! Let's go, everyone!"

Because it's jolly close to the fantastic manner in which we Brit's doth speak.

It's good so far. Though I do wonder if Bear in the Big Blue House and Mopatops Shop would have been made if Jim Henson was alive.

This could get interesting

I wonder how the Puppet Up crew and the homosexual boar & bovine couple from Tinseltown would react to this letter and then there would have to be one sent to the cast of Sam & Friends and the Land of Gorch.

(Coming back from commercial, we see the Puppet Up! puppets, Tinseltown characters, Sam & Friends, and the Land of Gorch SNL Muppets opening their letters, all set to a quickie 25 second version of "Rainbow Connection" in the background, and they are in four squares. In the next shot, we see the Muppet characters entering the Kodak Theatre at 6:30 PM in the evening after racing through traffic in several states in the mid-afternoon)

MISS PIGGY: Oh, Kermie! Vous and moi can't wait to have fun at this party, right? Kissy kissy!

PEPE: Will there be any food there, okay?

JOHNNY FIAMA: I can't wait to sing a medley of Muppet theme songs at the party! I just hope Sal hasn't messed up this time...

SAL: Don't worry, Johnny. My printer has had no problems since it was fixed yesterday.

GOBO: Gee, Uncle Matt, what are you going to do?

TRAVELING MATT: I'm going to show everyone photos of these postcards I made during my adventures in outer space. I hope you'll like them, nephew!

BABY SKEETER: (from off-camera) Uh... Scooter? I think you should've given this dress to Piggy!

BABY SCOOTER: But, why Skeeter? Why don't you like the dress Nanny gave you?

BABY SKEETER: (angrily) DOES THIS ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? (Skeeter is seen in an overly-pink dress and pink pumps)

BABY SCOOTER: (embarrassed) Ooh... maybe you're right. (faints)

(Adult Gonzo is seen walking to the theatre when Baby Gonzo shows up)

GONZO: (gasps) Why, you're me... from my childhood!

BABY GONZO: And you're like me, but... older! (gasps and faints)

GONZO: Wow... (to himself) you know, I don't remember having a voice that sounded like Minnie Mouse with a sore throat when I was a kid! (Of course, this is a reference to the fact that Russi Taylor, the official voice of Minnie Mouse, voiced Gonzo on Muppet Babies)

(The cartoon Boober and live-action Boober pass each other, then turn around and faint after saying these words below)

BOOBER: I'm in 2-D!

CARTOON BOOBER: I'm in 3-D!

CARTOON WEMBLEY: Boober! Are you okay? Speak to me! Anything! (starts to cry)

PEPE: You know, I don't recall "Woombly" sounding like that pig I see in the cartoons, okay. (Of course, I am referring to the fact that Bob Bergen, who was Wembley's voice on the cartoon version of Fraggle Rock, happens to be the current official voice of Porky Pig following Mel Blanc's passing)

KERMIT: (yells over a megaphone) ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE! LISTEN! GUY SMILEY SHOULD BE COMING THROUGH THE DOORS OF THE KODAK THEATRE ANY SECOND NOW, SO LET'S GIVE HIM A BIG HAND WHEN HE COMES THROUGH THE DOORS! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!

THE SWEDISH CHEF: Ooh! Ooh! Oot's Gooy Smoolee! (Guy Smiley comes through the doors, in his game show suit [rather than a tuxedo] and game show-style music plays)

GUY: (in his usual enthusiastic way) THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, ALL! THIS IS GUY SMILEY, AMERICA'S FAVORITE GAME SHOW HOST, HERE TO HOST THIS SPECIAL BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY, (gets really excited) JIM HENSON!

(Jim enters and everyone begins to cheer, except Eliot)

ELIOT: (covering his ears over the cheering) Oh, Ace! Can you tell me what's happening in Dog City right now, amidst all this cheering?

ACE: Well, right now, I'm looking for the culprit who just stole a fancy-looking car! I bet Baron von Rottweiler did it!

ELIOT: Well, I gotta get going. The party's about to start. Good luck, Ace!

ACE: You too, Mr. Shag.

(We then see everyone taking their respective tables, with the logo of their show on placards placed in the center of each table)

GUY: Good evening, everyone. Tonight, we are here to celebrate the 71st birthday of our creator, Mr. Jim Henson! Come on up, Jim! (Jim then runs upstage and takes the mike from Guy's hand)

JIM: Thank you. As you all know, I am the one who created all of you guys, who I have brought together to form one big family, even if you live in different worlds.

STATLER: Hey, I'm watching "A Different World" right now! (the opening sequence appears on Statler's portable TV)

WALDORF: Me too! Doh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

BABY MISS PIGGY: Oh, Kermie... what does he mean different worlds?

BABY KERMIT: I don't know, Piggy. Ask Scooter, and he'll look it up on that computer of his!

JIM: Now, I would like to show you this video. Roll the clip!

(The cartoon Red and Baby Skeeter are seen pushing the same button on a film projector, clips of Jim as a kid are seen over "Bein' Green")

KATIE: Ooh... Basil, is that really Jim?

BASIL: Yes, Katie, that is this Jim Henson person you've heard about.

(cut to commercial, logo for "Jim's 71st Birthday Special" appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen)

(we get back from commercial, and we see Johnny walk up to the podium, ready to sing the theme songs into the microphone)

JOHNNY: And now, I shall sing to you the theme songs of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, Dog City, Bear in the Big Blue House, Mopatop's Shop, Bambaloo, and all those other great shows from the man himself! Sal, hand me my papers.

SAL: Here's your papers, Johnny. Good luck!

JOHNNY: (clears throat, then sings in a similar way to what he sang in the Battle of the Muppet All-Stars competition created by Xerus. He gets booed by everyone)

BABY MISS PIGGY: Eeew... that was terrible! Ugh!

ELIOT: (to Ace) Uh, Ace? Do we even know how to sing?

PLACIDO FLAMINGO: Oh, mama mia! That makes me want to sing the blues instead of opera! I must cover my ears!

CARTOON WEMBLEY: (screaming) GOBO! GET ME SOMETHING TO COVER MY EARS!

BOOBER: (also screaming) AAAAH! THAT HORRIBLE MUSIC IS GOING TO BRING MORE DEATH AND DISEASE IN THIS WORLD! I'M GETTING OUTTA HERE!

(everyone still boos Johnny, and they throw eggs and tomatoes at him, ruining his $5,000 suit and $800 shoes)

JOHNNY: What the...? (looks at his papers) SAL! GET OVER HERE!

SAL: What's wrong, Johnny? You sound mad.

JOHNNY: I am mad, Sal! You told me nothing was wrong with your printer, but you lied...

SAL: But... I thought I... checked the printer... AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

JOHNNY: Come back here, you stupid monkey! (chases after Sal, but then peeks in front of the camera) You know, I hope the local press doesn't take note of this...

(We then hear a voice similar to Greg Berg's Baby Fozzie yelling "Extra! Extra! Out-of-town crooner ruins party!" as a CGI newspaper spins into the screen)

GUY: Maybe I should just show you some clips. (Clips consist of the opening intros to many of Jim's shows from around the world)

BABY ANIMAL: Animal happy! Animal love video!

COOKIE MONSTER: Me wonder if me can eat film projector after clip show.

WEMBLEY: Wow, Gobo! I never knew I could fly! (He sees the clip from the live-action Fraggle Rock intro where he falls into the pool just after the Fraggle Rock logo fades in)

SPROCKET: Ruff! Ruff! Ruff!

DOC: Oh, be quiet, Sprocket! I'm trying to watch the movie! Now, why don't run off and find those Fraggles you're always telling me about?

SPROCKET: (whimpers)

(the clip show ends, and Guy returns to the stage)

GUY: Now it's time for our resident comedian Fozzie Bear to take the stage! Come on up, Fozzie!

FOZZIE: I shall now tell you all of my greatest jokes ever told back at the Muppet Theatre!

STATLER: Yeah, this is how much you've told us!

(Waldorf then holds up a sign with the number 0, then both laugh)

FOZZIE: Don't start heckling me, tonight, you rotten old... hey! Who are you? (Fozzie sees his cartoon baby counterpart below him)

BABY FOZZIE: (gasps) Why, you're me, but, older! Can I tell a joke on stage, future me?

FOZZIE: (pauses for a moment, then...) It's all yours, kid! Wocka wocka!

BABY FOZZIE: (to himself) Hey, he can say "Wocka wocka" just like me! Aaah! (he gets the mike from adult Fozzie) Why did the chicken cross the road?

WALDORF: To get away from weirdos? Doh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

GONZO: (slightly offended) Hey, Camilla and I have a long-lasting relationship so don't make any more comments about it!

CAMILLA: (angrily) Bawk bawk bawk!

RIZZO: Don't worry, you two. I'll take care of those grumpy old men.

(As Baby Fozzie tells more jokes, Statler and Waldorf still heckle him, unaware that Rizzo is about to drop a large brown balloon with cheese filled inside from the very top of the building.)

STATLER: Doh-ho-ho-ho-- hey, Waldorf! Who turned out the lights?

WALDORF: Uh, I don't know...

(Rizzo pushes the balloon, which falls down 100 feet before hitting the men)

(SPLAT! The balloon hits the two men, covering them in cheese)

WALDORF: You know, I've heard of acts being cheesy, but this is ridiculous!

STATLER: Can you get me my wipes?

BABY FOZZIE: HA! How's that for heckling a bear who loves great jokes? (to his teddy bear) Come on, Teddy, back to our seats!

BIG BIRD: Hey, cousins! Meet my new friend, Abby Cadabby.

ABBY: Nice to meet you all. I shall perform magic tricks on-stage next! (she rushes to the stage) I shall now pull a rabbit from my wings... allerednic! (Benny Rabbit appears from her wings) Aw... you're a cute little bunny!

BENNY: The name's Benny, not Bunny! (twitches teeth)

BEAN BUNNY: Aw... you're a cute little bunny just like me! (laughs)

BENNY: Leave me alone! I want to be alone! (twitches teeth)

(go to commercial, Baby Animal plays another trick on Baby Gonzo before fade-out)

How does it look so far?

That was Awsome! :smile: :smile: :smile: Can you please add some stuff for Sam & Friends? And one thing for sure Jim Henson is 71, or At least he would be If he wasn't Worm Chow. (Sorry if that was disrespectful).

Well, here you go, Kuriboh Man, some Sam & Friends, plus part three of this fan-fic:

(We come back from commercial, and Sam, Yorick, and Professor Madcliffe are already at the podium.)

SAM: Hey, all! I'm Sam, one of the very first Muppets ever seen on TV, back in 1956! These here are my friends, Yorick and Professor Mad-- Yorick, cut that out! (We see Yorick attempt to eat the microphone) Anyway, we were only seen locally on a channel called WRC, which is the NBC affiliate from Washington, D.C.

SAM THE EAGLE: Did you say, Washington, D.C.? That is my favorite capital of the world, because, it symbolizes how great being an American is!

ANIMAL: NBC! NBC! (He then sees a xylophone and plays the signature three-note chimes of NBC)

SAM: Our sponsor was Esskay Meats, and our show lasted until 1962. One of our friends, became a big star tonight, and I see he's in the audience... it's you, Kermit! (The spotlight then shines on Kermit)

KERMIT: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

(The audience cheers, and green confetti is shot out of a few cannons in the floor)

KERMIT: Oh, thank you, everyone. As you know, I made my first national appearance on The Tonight Show with Steve Allen way back in 1957, before many of our worlds came into existence. And here to serve some coffee, Wilkins and Wontkins! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

(Wilkins runs up to Gobo, offering him coffee)

WILKINS: Howdy, stranger, I wonder if you drink Wilkins Coffee?

GOBO: Well... what's coffee? I'm not sure I'll like it.

(Wilkins takes out a shotgun and attempts to shoot Gobo, when Traveling Matt stops him)

TRAVELING MATT: Careful! I learned that back in outer space, these silver-colored spitting creatures can harm you, maybe even kill you and die!

BOOBER: Please don't say the word "die" around me! (screams and runs away)

GOBO: Okay, silly creature. I'll try this "coffee" you're offering me. (Gobo then takes a sip) Wow! This is so good! Hey, everyone! This strange creature gave me a new form of water called coffee and I'm wondering if you should try it?

LIVE-ACTION MUPPETS: Yes, let's!

CARTOON MUPPETS: We're not so sure about trying coffee. What if it does something weird to us?

WONTKINS: I know exactly what you mean, guys. Wilkins would always harm me in some way every time I'd tell him that I wouldn't try that coffee of his.

(Wilkins shows up and shoots Wontkins [with a "CENSORED" bar obscuring both], another CGI newspaper spins into view, and the same voice of Greg Berg in his Baby Fozzie voice is heard saying "Extra! Extra! Weird-looking creature's shooting causes near-tragedy at party!" Don't worry, no one dies in this story, they just get really nasty boo-boos)

WONTKINS: Ow... I should've kept my mouth shut... ow! (Wontkins is seen being rushed to an ambulance and Wilkins is arrested for the attempted murder of Wontkins by the same two Anything Muppet police seen in the Abby Cadabby Beat the Time fan-fic)

KERMIT: Going away from the violence and the mayhem, we go to some more family-friendly stuff right now, with a song and dance number by... these weird 2-D versions of us (he's referring to the cartoon Fraggles and the Muppet Babies). Take it away, guys! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

(They sing and dance to Smile, Darn Ya, Smile, ending when Crazy Harry blows up the stage they're on and they fall, all screaming as they do.)

(Next, we see the live-action Muppets standing next to their cartoon counterparts as they give a speech about Muppet cartoons)

BABY MISS PIGGY: Ooh... you're really, really, pretty, just like moi!

MISS PIGGY: And moi is known for her prettiness, young moi. (laughs) Although moi does not remember wearing a pink bow in moi's hair.

BABY SCOOTER: Future me, do you ever use the computer like me?

SCOOTER: Uh... I'm more of a go-fer.

BABY SCOOTER: You mean you dig tunnels under a ground and you're a rodent? (He mishears "go-fer" as "gopher")

SCOOTER: No, I run errands for my boss, Kermit. I get him his food, and I tell him "15 seconds to curtain." So I guess I'm not as computer-fascinated as you are, young me. ;-)

(Baby Scooter then sighs sadly)

(The cartoon and live-action versions of Gobo Fraggle then cross paths with each other, shocked to see each other, like the live-action and cartoon Boober, but they don't faint)

GOBO: (gasps) Are you one of these cartoons Uncle Matt told me about?

CARTOON GOBO: Why, yes, I am!

GOBO: Funny, you don't sound exactly like me. Why?

(the cartoon Muppets show a rare behind the scenes work of several voice actors doing voicing work of the Muppet Babies, cartoon Fraggles, and cartoon dogs of Dog City on the film projector)

In this order:

1.) Townsend Coleman doing cartoon Gobo
2.) Russi Taylor doing Baby Gonzo and Baby Robin
3.) Greg Berg doing Baby Fozzie and Baby Scooter
4.) Rob Paulsen doing cartoon Boober and cartoon Trash Heap
5.) Stephen Ouimette doing Mad Dog and Baron von Rottweiler
6.) Ron White doing Ace Hart
7.) Katie Leigh doing Baby Rowlf
8.) Dave Coulier doing Baby Animal, Baby Bunsen, Baby Bean Bunny, and Baby Janice
9.) Laurie O'Brien doing Baby Miss Piggy
10.) Bob Bergen doing cartoon Wembley
11.) John Stocker doing Bugsy Vile
12.) Tara Charendorff (now Strong) doing Dot
13.) Barbara Goodson doing cartoon Red
14.) Mona Marshall doing cartoon Mokey and cartoon Cotterpin Doozer
15.) Liz Hanna doing Rosie O'Gravy
16.) Stuart Stone doing Eddie

And finally...

17.) Frank Welker doing Baby Kermit, Baby Beaker, and Baby Skeeter, as well as several of his animal vocal imitations for the Creature Shop productions he's been involved with

(meanwhile, off-stage, Eliot is working on yet another Ace Hart cartoon when his cell phone rings)

ACE: I shall catch my nemesis, Bugsy Vile, and stop him from--

(Eliot's cell phone rings again)

ELIOT: Hello?

TERRI: Eliot? Where are you? Don't you realize tonight's the night for our date?

ELIOT: Yeah, I realize that, but your son wants me to attend this ceremony I'm at for someone named Jim Henson. Can you come down here for our date, Terri?

TERRI: Let me think about it... (waits about 45 seconds) uh... sure! Where are you?

ELIOT: I'm at a place called the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. Can you get there in time?

(Terri jumps into her car, and it takes her only 15 seconds just to get to the theatre, which is a long way from where Eliot's neighborhood is. She must've had Bunsen Honeydew install rocket boosters from Muppet Labs in her car. ;-))

ELIOT: Glad you could make it, Terri. How'd you get here so fast? (Terri points to some rocket boosters under her car, as we soon find out)

(back inside, Kermit introduces the Sesame Street Muppets from around the world, as well as the cast of Mopatop's Shop, Bambaloo, and Play Along with Ollie, but we immediately go to commercial)

How's it looking so far? I hope it's good. ;-)
