Here's a (very interesting choice, in my opinion) request from Muppetfifty888. Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GUEST STAR: Paul Frees (*He's done everything in voice acting. From Boris Badenov to Ludwig von Drake to Fluidman (in The Impossibles) to Meowrice (in "Gay Purr-ee", one of my favorite movies, with Judy Garland). The reason I say this is an interesting choice for a guest star is because I do have a feeling he barely makes public appearances let alone make onscreen appearances. But, then again, I think Jim Henson and the producers would've found a way to convince him to come on the show.)
STYLE: Early Season 5 (Between James Coburn and Debbie Harry)
COLD OPENING:
Pops is knitting something on his desk, when Paul enters (in a royal kingly attire)
Pops: Oh, who are you?
Paul: -with a British accent- I am Sir Hickory Dock, The Second.
Pops: What happened to the first?
Paul: Well, he ran up the Big Ben. Anyways, I come to inform you that your guest star is here......but not here, here.
Pops: Not here here?
Paul: Here here, good sir.
Pops: Well if he's not here here, then where is he?
Paul: -turns to camera, breaking out of character- Incognito. -winks-
THEME SONG
TRUMPET GAG: Gonzo blows his trumpet so hard, it slips out of his hands on knocks someone on the head.
Gonzo: My bad!
INTRODUCTION:
Kermit: Thank you, thank you. Hi ho and welcome again to the Muppet Show! And tonight's show is going to be extra spectacular, because our guest star is that talented voice actor of many timeless characters, Mr. Paul Frees!
Audience: Ooooooooh.
Kermit: Yes. But first, come now and take a trip to the exquisite island of Bali Ha'i!
MUSICAL NUMBER: Bali Ha'i (from South Pacific), sung by Miss Piggy in a tropical island setting. However, a thunderstorm and volcanic eruption interrupt her number.
BALCONY:
Statler: I don't think we should visit that island anytime soon.
Waldorf: Why not?
Statler: It'll probably be infested with hogs.
Both: Dohohohoho!
BACKSTAGE:
Kermit: Piggy, are you alright?
Miss Piggy: -angrily- Whoever was working on the special effects SHOULD NOT be raining on my parade!!!!!
Gonzo: -rushes in- Wow! Weren't the volcano, tidal wave and thunderstorm just terrific in that last number?
Miss Piggy: -gasp- YOU! HIIIIIIIIIYA! -karate chops Gonzo and then goes off-
Kermit: Note to self, never leave Gonzo or Crazy Harry in charge of special effects.
Scooter: Hey, Kermit, I heard that Fluidman is here tonight.
Kermit: Fluidman? Who's Fluidman?
Scooter: One of my favorite cartoon superheros. Oh he's just amazing! And the best part is, he, and the other Impossibles are rock musicians!
Kermit: Yeah....
Scooter: Oh where is he? I'm dying to get his autograph!
Kermit: Ummm....in the utility closet.
Scooter: What would he be doing there?
Kermit: Rehearsing.
Scooter: Good point. -goes off-
INTRODUCTION:
Kermit: And now, for all of you science fiction fans out there..........
Scooter: -offscreen- Yeah! Science fiction fans! Wooo!
Kermit: Oh boy....here is our Muppet Salute to Science fiction, with our version of the treacherous....War of The Worlds.
SKETCH: Paul (doing an Orson Welles-ish voice) narrates the Muppets' version of "The War of The Worlds." Included in this is Link Hogthrob, Gonzo, Sam Eagle and Annie Sue. Ending this tribute, the gang sings
Science Fiction Double Feature (from The Rocky Horror Show)
BALCONY:
Waldorf: No wonder the War of the Worlds was treacherous.
Statler: Yeah. The show is bad. That's why that other world is against us.
Both: Dohohohohoho!
BACKSTAGE:
Kermit: Okay, I don't totally understand science fiction to well but great job.
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: Oh, hello, Kermit. Fine day, isn't it?
Beaker: Me me me me.
Kermit: Uhhh, hello Bunsen, Beaker...uhh what can I do for you guys.
Dr. Honeydew: Well, we hear that one of the greatest scientists of all time is on this show tonight. And Beaker here is extremely ecstatic about it.
Beaker: Me me me me!
Kermit: What scientist are you talking about, Bunsen?
Dr. Honeydew: Dr. Ludwig von Drake.
Kermit: -widens eyes and turns to camera- Yeesh.
Dr. Honeydew: Oh the many scientific secrets we shall share when we meet. Where could he be right this moment?
Kermit:.....Uhhh....the utility closet. Going over...science stuff.
Dr. Honeydew: What an excellent location. Come, Beaky, our hero awaits.
Beaker: Me me mo me me mo me! -goes off with Bunsen-
Kermit: Yeesh, when is everyone going to realize that they are just fictional characters? -shrugs- Well, they're going to realize it one way or another.

BACKSTAGE:
Floyd: Hey, my green little swamp friend.
Kermit: Please don't tell me......
Floyd: Tell you what?
Kermit: Nothing.
Floyd: What? Anyways, where's George Harrison at? You said you booked him tonight on the show.
Kermit bangs his head on his desk a couple times.
Kermit: -with his head still down on the desk; pointing left- Check the utility closet.
Floyd: Ahhh, rehearsing the last number I see. Gotcha! -laughs and goes off-
Kermit: -looks up- Is there somebody up there that understands my situation?
MUPPET NEWS:
Newsman: Here's a Muppet News Flash! "Red flavored ice pops have been banned on store shelves for its likeliness to be extremely hot. The red flavored ice pop is made of the most natural hot and spicy ingredients from Mexico, Arizona, and the Arabian Desert. It is 99.9% accurate that the person who eats the ice pop will burn their insides."
Ice Cream Man: Ice Pop?
Newsman: Sure. -takes ice pop and eats it, but passes out from it's hotness and spiciness-
Ice Cream Man: Oops. I must've given him the Hot Pop.
BACKSTAGE:
Scooter, Dr. Honeydew and Beaker, Floyd all meet by the utility closet.
All: HUH!?!?!
Scooter: What are you all doing here?
Floyd: What am I doin' here? What are YOU all doing here?
Dr. Honeydew: I believe the correct question is "What are all of YOU doing here?"
Beaker: Me me mo me mo!?!?!?
Scooter: I'm meeting Fluidman.
Floyd: No way, Scoot-ey! George Harrison is right behind that utility closet door.
Dr. Honeydew: Well George Harrison is not in there. It's the great and all-geniune Dr. Ludwig von Drake.
Beaker: -tugging Dr. Honeydew's shoulder- Me me! Me me. -points to door- Me me me mo me.
Dr. Honeydew: Excellent idea, Beaky! Why don't we check behind the door and see who it really is?
Scooter: Beaker's got a point there.
Floyd: Yeah, why didn't I think of that.
Dr. Honeydew: Alright. On the count of three, we open the door. Ready? One.....
Floyd: Two.....
Scooter: Three!
Beaker opens the utility closet door, but no one is in there.
All: Huh?
Scooter: There's no one in there.
Floyd: Swamp Breath must've tricked us!
Paul is passing by when he sees the four standing by the closet.
Paul: Oh, hello, boys.
Scooter, Floyd, Dr. Honeydew and Beaker all stare at Paul in shock.
Paul: What's the matter?
Scooter: Who are you?
Paul: Your guest star. Paul Frees.
Scooter: Not Fluidman?
Paul: But that was me.
Dr. Honeydew: Not Ludwig von Drake?
Paul: That was also me.
Floyd: Not George Harrison?
Paul:....That's NOT me.
Floyd: Oh. I should've known better.
Paul: The things is, boys, even though those characters aren't real, the fact that they seem real to you is what matters most.......except George Harrison. That's actually a real person. It's your belief that keeps that character alive.
Dr. Honeydew: Well....I never thought of it that way before.
Beaker: Me me me me me.
MUSICAL NUMBER: Brotherhood of Man, sung by Paul, Scooter, Floyd, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, and Beaker. They are later joined by other Muppets (including Gonzo, Rowlf, Robin and Link Hogthrob.)

Paul: Thank you very very much, Kermit.
Kermit: Hey listen, how were you able to convince those guys that your characters weren't real?
Paul: But, Kermit, George Harrison is real.
Kermit: Oh.
Paul: AND John Lennon.
Floyd: -rushes onstage- You were John AND George!?!?!? Have mercy!
Kermit: Okay, we'll see you next time on The Muppet Show!

CLOSING THEME

A random pig then comes onto the balcony and goes in between Statler and Waldorf.
Pig: Di di di di di di di That's all, folks!
Statler and Waldorf: Good! Dohohohohoho!
END
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one has to be my most my challenging outline yet. But I do enjoy a good challenge. I'm sorry, Muppetfifty888, if it wasn't exactly like you wanted it to be. I did my best with this one. I was a little unsure about things, but, hey, it is what it is. More outlines to come, folks!
