Baby, if you ever wondered, it's time to play the music....


Yesterday’s dumb idea:  A WKRP-Muppet Show crossover episode.

They both were airing during the years 1978 - 1981.

Admittedly, the Muppet production was based in England, but a partial detachment of the Muppet team to LA for a WKRP episode wouldn’t have been impossible.

The only A-plot I can imagine is an Electric Mayhem show in Cincinnati, and WKRP covering it like any other rock concert.

And WKRP’s Andy Travis was basically the Kermit of the show - trying to keep the chaos moving in a positive direction.

Sam the Eagle and Les Nessman certainly could have bonded.

Mostly, I thought of this just for the running gag of Dr. Johnny Fever assuming that seeing Gonzo, Fozzy, and Animal was just more drug flashbacks.

Married Conversation: it ain't easy shaking all night long.

(Driving back home after grocery shopping.)
(UIM turns on the car radio.)
Frage: "There will be no singing."
(First notes of 'You Shook Me All Night Long')
UIM: (Grinning) "Oh.  There will be singing."
(After the intro finishes)
Frage: "She was a fast machine."
UIM: (Kermit voice) "She was a fast machine."
Frage: "IN YOUR OWN VOICE!  NO MUPPETS!  NO CHIPMUNKS!  NO DAD VOICE!"
(UIM laughs to gasping until the guitar solo.)
