I know - I did a review of the Paley Center for the Not For Tourists site; among other things, I said, "...the temptation to spend a whole afternoon there is powerful."
The Puppetman pilot might have been a rough draft - the network execs might have wanted to see something on tape before they'd consider it. And it's true; Richard's character is the only multi-sided one, so it is worth wondering if Richard, not Fred Newman, was intended to be the lead.
Of course, had that happened, Richard might have had to spend extended periods of time away from the Muppets, and I don't think he would have wanted that. (Plus, the jet lag's a real drain.)
