What If: The name Muppet for 'mechanical puppet' never caught on? May be they's be 'Muppers' like in the title?

What if: Lew Grade decides not to bankroll The Muppet Show, and the troupe remains primarily associated with the PBS ghetto?

(Sorry, just to clarify, I don't mean "ghetto" as a reference to the inner-city setting of Sesame Street, just as a metaphor for PBS' general standing relative to the rest of the entertainment industry.)

What if Brian Henson convinces Sci Fi to give Farscape one more season?

What if Big Bird was aboard the Challenger space shuttle? That genuinely nearly happened.
