Steve took over as Kermit the same year Jim died, but Richard as Ernie is something to think about

I don't think he'd do a terrible job actually, Scooter and Ernie have a similar vocal tone.

I think it would be close but subtly different. Maybe just a bit more-in-your-face-Ernier Ernie than we had with Steve. As to whether it would be better or not.... I honestly don't know, but you are right -- it is something fun to think about =)

What if Julia was the daughter of Ernie's sister and Bart, and Bert and Ernie were revealed to be brothers-in-law?
(I'm asking this because Julia is the same shape as Ernie but the same color as Bert)

What if the first season opening for The Muppet Show was never replaced in reruns and home media releases of first season TMS episodes from the 1980s-early 2000s?
Four years later:

Actually that would have been interesting since I got the Time Life collection before the DVD season sets came out, so I would have seen the first season opening earlier than I did.
