History WMG / TheMuppetShow

[[WMG: Gonzo is a Frackle.]]
The special “The Great Santa Claus Switch” introduced a series of bird-like monsters called Frackles. One of them, named Snarl, was purple with drooping eyelids and a long, curled nose. This puppet would later be reused as the first Gonzo. Clearly, this means Gonzo is a Frackle.

We know, from [[Film/JurassicPark Dr. Grant]], that certain species of frog can change from one sex to another. We also know that, during his appearances on [[Series/SamAndFriends]], Kermit would often have not only women's hair and clothing, but women's voices, too. It's possible he's sometimes a woman. Why he never did this during his time as host of [[Series/TheMuppetShow]] could be due to his boss' well-documented prejudices.

[[WMG:The Muppet Show is Purgatory for the Guests.]]

In the series MuppetBabies, there are ''two'' gophers: twins Scooter and Skeeter. By the time we get to the Muppet Show (filmed earlier but chronologically later) there is only Scooter; Skeeter is never mentioned. How can this be explained?

[[WMG:Crazy Harry and [[TheTick The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight]] are the same person]]
Not only do they look alike and share a love of explosives, but their laughs are also eerily similar. Obviously, Crazy Harry went even crazier and moved to [[TheTick The City]] to try to make it as a supervillain.

[[WMG:Scooter is Michael Grade]]

[[WMG:All muppet movies that don't appear to line up with the canon of The Muppet Show are nothing more than actual episodes of the show itself]]

* Pretty much confirmed by WordOfGod. The Muppets are actors who play themselves (or sometimes other characters) in the movies. When they do interviews or appear on chat-shows and are asked about events of the movies, they always explain that the movies aren't ''real,'' they're just movies. (This happened a ''lot'' when they to promoted ''Film/TheMuppets''; they'd always be explaining that no, they hadn't actually broken up and gone their separate ways, and by the way, Walter wasn't really {{Jason Segel}}'s brother.)
** The one movie that can be said to be "canon" is ''Film/TheMuppetMovie'', and even that is just ''based'' on the "real" story of how the Muppets got together and takes a lot of liberties in the name of entertaining the audience -- when the Muppets settle down to watch the movie in the very beginning, there's this brief exchange between Kermit and Robin:
-->'''Robin:''' Uncle Kermit? Is this about how the Muppets ''really'' got started?\\
'''Kermit:''' Well it -- it's sort of ''approximately'' how it happened.

Im pretty sure this was just waiting to be said. As a matter of fact, im probably just saying out loud what everyone else was allready thinking. In my opinion, the only way to explain the two of them's random appearances on stage from time to time, The appearance of them in the various movies(Read previous WMG), Them being allowed to see the first screening of The Muppet Movie,them living with all the muppets in Muppets From Space,Etc
, is to say that they actually work for the muppets. And that they're role as grouchy hecklers is just the characters kermit has them play just for kicks and giggles.

[[WMG:Astoria, Waldorf's wife, is Statler's twin sister, therefore making Statler and Waldorf brother-in-law's]]
This has been discussed before, but think about it! Astoria, Waldorf's wife, looks ''exactly'' like Statler, just in drag! If Astoria and Statler are indeed twins, and since Astoria is Waldorf's wife, Waldorf and Statler would be brothers! By marriage of course...

When he was killed by his critics, J. P. Grosse renamed it in his honor. It would have been nicer to name a new building in his honor, but this is J. P. Grosse we're talking about.

* It's kind of depressing to think that Scooter is the bastard who cancelled Series/DoctorWho... maybe it's another Grade kid?

[[WMG:Scooter is {{Michael Grade}}]]

[[WMG:Waldorf and Statler are victims of a ''Main/{{MST3K}}''-style science experiment.]] They hate every show, yet they watch them all and make snarky comments, and at more than one point, it's implied that they're not free to leave.
