Now... What if the characters from "Fraggle Rock", "The Dark Crystal", "Labyrinth", "The Storyteller", "Dinosaurs", "Dog City", "The Song of the Cloud Forest", "The Secret Life of Toys", "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas", "The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss", "Jim Henson's Animal Show", "Farscape", "BRATS of the Lost Nebula", and "The Hoobs" had their own version of "Kingdom Hearts"?
That's pretty much what Kuriboh just said, isn't it? .....Only longer? :confused:


What if the Muppets had their own talk show?

What if Bob Keeshan (Captain Kangaroo) guest starred on "Sesame Street"?
Then Richard Hunt would have used his puppets to tease Keeshan every chance he got.

According to the big tribute show for Richard on MuppetCast, Richard tried to audition for Gus Allegretti (aka Mr. Moose), but Gus turned Richard away for his own safety. The thing is, it seems as if Keeshan or some of the other higher-ups involved with the show could be tyrants on the set at times, and Gus (who was an old college friend of Mr. Hunt, and therefore Richard was like a son to him) didn't want Richard exposed to any on-set trauma.

Now, then, back to the what-ifs: what if the Muppet crew filmed an episode of TMS outside of the studio, perhaps in a place like Trafalgar Square or Hampstead Heath?

What if Kevin Clash, Martin P. Robinson, Pam Arciero, Karen Prell, Kathryn Mullen, and David Rudman were actually credited for "The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years"?

What if they made earlier Muppet segments in "Good Morning America" before 1992?
