The Letter People Visit The Muppet Show!

[UncleMatt'sBack]

Now THIS is an idea I've been tossing around for the better part of a year and a half. Since several people who worked on "The Letter People" ended up working for the Henson company (Allan Trautman in particular comes to mind), I decided to finally have the "Not-Ready-for-a-Henson-Production Players" hit the big time.

Some of the segments:

Mr. C singing his theme song with the Electric Mayhem.

Mr. F singing his theme song backed by Rowlf, Animal, and the Mutations serve as his backup dancers.

Mr. G goes to Muppet Labs to help Bunsen Honeydew invent the gooiest gum in the world, and succeeds--however, he gets stuck to Beaker in the process.

Mr. K appears on Muppet Sports, and kicks a football so high that when it lands (on Lewis Kazagger's head), snow is seen on top of it.

Mr. M sings his theme song with the Electric Mayhem. By song's end, both Mr. M and Animal go into a feeding frenzy.

Gonzo gets jealous of Mr. N when he finds out Mr. N has a Noisy Nose and he doesn't...so he makes his nose a noisy one, by slamming it into a door repeatedly.

Miss Piggy finally meets her match in the diva department when she meets obstinate Miss O.

Kermit and Fozzie try to get a few words out of the Letter People's silent partner, quiet Mr. Q.

Mr. R and the Red Rubber Band jam with the Electric Mayhem--turns out Dr. Teeth's wanted to work with a decent typewriter player, rubberband ripper, and electric tuba player for years.

Kermit and Mr. S have an alliterative conversation backstage before Mr. S and his Super Socks appear on "Pigs In Space".

Dr. Teeth fits Mr. T (he of the tall teeth) for a solid gold tall tooth.

Miss Piggy has her problems with Mr. W, who won't stop winking at her. ("Quit winking at me, weirdo!")

Mr. X mixes things up even more by leaving his mark all over the theatre.

The Newsman says that the stories he receives are a load of silly bull...and gets trampled by said animal, who later gets adopted by Crazy Harry.

Uh... How does that last one fit into the scheme of things?
You know, I would've thought it'd be better to have a script where the Letter People appear on Sesame Street. But I have to say, you've intrigued me with this outline of an outline. Keep working on it, maybe have bits for all twenty-six Letter People members. One possible tweak is to have Mr. N show up at the intro and surprise Gonzo from behind with his noisy nose. Additionally, Mr. N could help fit Gonzo for a noisy nose of his own.

Hope this helps, looking forward to reading the whole thing when ready.

That sounds like a neat idea. Mixing Muppets with Letter People. Here are some more ideas.

Maybe the Swedish Chef can help Mr. D make Delicious Donuts. Mr. D gets shocked at the Chef's method of tossing dough and shooting holes through them with a gun.

Miss. I goes to Vet's hospital to try to get her itching cured.

Beauregard could try to throw out Mr. J's Jumble Junk and gets annoyed by it.

Mr. V and Sam the Eagle could sing a very cultured song while both wearing Violet Velvet Vests.

I had that same idea involving the Swedish Chef and Mr. D.

I was also thinking about Mr. J doing something with Janice, what, I don't know.

Maybe something like a junkband jamboree?
