** John Ratzenberger and the stars of Creator/{{Pixar}}'s movies. It'd be logical considering that both are owned by Creator/{{Disney}} and both teams [[DoingItForTheArt are proud of their art]] (at least currently, especially in the Muppets' case). Pixar and Muppets Studio seem to be on really good terms (the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' Toon airing before ''The Muppets'', Pixar doctoring a script for the movie, JustForFun/StatlerAndWaldorf appearing in ''Presto'', etc.). [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6782900/1/Pixar_Episode Someone even wrote a clever fanfic about the idea]].

It is directly stated that Walter and Gary are biological siblings (they also even look related.) I'm putting it out there that Muppetism is a genetic mutation because most Muppet characters are animals, hence the mutation is normal for all animals and apparently plants too. So when some of your genes are mutated you do not become a Franchise/{{X-Men}} but a Muppet.

*** The Muppets use one of Bunsen's and Beaker's devices to turn into CGI characters and do their first-ever computer-animated show in the computer world, in order to stand a chance against all those kids' movies out there[[note]]]which would probably be represented in-universe as something generic like "[[Film/AlvinAndTheChipmunks Melvin and the]] [[CaptainErsatz Turkey Gang]]" or something like that[[/note]]. This could be the [[{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] episode, and since this is {{Disney}} we're talking about, we'll probably get [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] to ''Film/{{TRON}}'' and [[Film/TronLegacy its sequel]]. Waldo C. Graphic would probably appear in this.

* Considering that we're four episodes into the show and it's already dropping hints that Kermit and Miss Piggy still have feelings for each other despite their breakup (mostly on Kermit's end, but Miss Piggy [[ClingyJealousGirl wasn't exactly subtle]] [[WhatDoesHeSeeInHer when she said she "[doesn't] know what [Kermit sees] in [Denise]"]] in "Pig Girls Don't Cry"), I'd be very surprised if they don't get back together eventually. Still, if the show gets green-lit for more seasons, it's possible that Kermit and Miss Piggy will go through the "break up, get back together" pattern several times. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

** Creator/SamuelLJackson. Just like WilliamShatner, this would be [[RuleOfCool pure unadulterated awesome]]. Maybe both Mace Windu and Yoda could be in the new ''StarWars'' episode, or Dearth Nadir could appear with Sam playing Mace. He could also do a PG-rated parody of the various memes from ''SnakesOnAPlane'' (most likely quoting the [[SoBadItsGood "melon farming snakes on this Monday-to-Friday plane"]] TV edit line verbatim).

*** And Walter could make an offhand remark about how handsome Jim/Sheldon is.



** The theme song will either be a re-cover of the one from ''The Muppet Show'', ''Life's A Happy Song'', or a completely new one. This time, the Muppet who plays the trumpet for the CouchGag won't be Gonzo, but Walter. In the pilot episode, he will almost play the note on the trumpet before his cel phone goes off- his mom calls him while seeing him on TV!

*** The Doctor, in a Series/DoctorWho themed special. The Muppets accientally send out invitations (or just plain kidnap) all his incarnations whose actors are still alive, along with some prominet supporting characters like Amy and Rory. Davros and the Master join Stalter and Waldorf in their heckeling.

But he seems to have picked up on this. In TheMuppetsWizardOfoz, his failed relationship with Camilla is finally addressed, and his own negligence is confirmed to be the cause. In the two most recent movies, he and Camilla are back together, but Gonzo is faithful this time; no gawking at other chickens, no flirting with Miss Piggy. He and Rizzo haven't been seen together in those movies, but hopefully their friendship received the same patching-up that his with Camilla did.

** Since she's a VirtualCelebrity, [[{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku]] (in CGI), depending on how much Crypton wants to push marketing for her American release (which means she'd speak English, with some GratuitousJapanese). The subtitler from Pöpcørn could return (possibly even as a full character) for her Japanese songs. A {{Gorillaz}} episode could operate on a similar principle.
