Any ideas? | | Evan Williams Well, Kermit could easily be Frankenfurter, with Miss Piggy as Magenta. You disagree? What is more ... perverse ... than a frog with a pig fetish? That leaves Janet (the blonde, airhead muppet singer from Electric Mayhem) to play Janet. Link Hogthrob would be a GREAT Brad. Animal is a fine Eddie. Gonzo might be ok as Rif-Raf. Still no ideas for Rocky. Hmmm. Yep, that's it!! FOZZIE BEAR!! Dr. (von) Scott could be Strangepork, or Dr Benson Honeydew might be talked into it. Annie Sue Pig should be Columbia. She can tapdance. The criminologist. . . Well, judging from the problems I was having with understanding him, the Swedish Chef would be good. Trouble is, he might have some problems adjusting to the role. No cooking.
