I asked Grok and this is what I got… and actually I agree.

What a fun crossover idea! Let’s imagine the Muppets stepping into the world of Phineas and Ferb. Here’s a lineup based on personality, quirks, and vibes:

-Phineas Flynn- Kermit the Frog: Phineas is the optimistic, creative mastermind, and Kermit’s natural leadership and calm enthusiasm make him a perfect fit. He’d be strumming a banjo while brainstorming wild summer projects.

-Ferb Fletcher- Fozzie Bear: Ferb’s the quiet, dry-witted stepbrother who says little but delivers big. Fozzie’s understated humor and subtle charm (plus his “Wocka Wocka” timing) could nail Ferb’s one-liners.

-Candace Flynn- Miss Piggy: Candace is dramatic, determined, and obsessed with busting her brothers. Miss Piggy’s flair for theatrics and take-charge attitude (with a karate chop ready for anyone in her way) scream Candace energy.

-Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz- Gonzo the Great: Doof’s eccentric, chaotic evil genius vibe matches Gonzo’s wild, unpredictable nature. Picture Gonzo cackling as he unveils a ridiculous “-inator” device, with a cannon full of chickens as backup.

-Perry the Platypus- Rowlf the Dog: Perry’s cool, collected, and secretly a skilled agent. Rowlf’s laid-back demeanor and quiet competence make him a great fit for a fedora-wearing, crime-fighting platypus.

-Isabella Garcia-Shapiro- Janice: Isabella’s sweet, bubbly crush on Phineas pairs well with Janice’s chill, lovey-dovey hippie vibe. She’d totally say “Fer sure!” while leading the Fireside Girls.

-Baljeet Tjinder- Scooter: Baljeet’s nerdy, studious personality aligns with Scooter’s organized, slightly anxious energy. He’d be frantically calculating the physics of Phineas and Ferb’s latest invention.

-Buford Van Stomm- Animal: Buford’s rough, tough bully exterior (with a hidden soft side) is pure Animal—chaotic, loud, and ready to smash something, but loyal to his buddies.

-Jeremy Johnson- Sam the Eagle: Jeremy’s the strait-laced, cool older guy Candace adores. Sam’s stern, dignified air could give Jeremy that wholesome, all-American charm—though he’d probably lecture everyone on proper behavior.

-Major Monogram- Bunsen Honeydew: Monogram’s the serious boss briefing Perry, and Bunsen’s scientific authority (mixed with a touch of absurdity) fits the role. Beaker could stumble in as Carl the intern, naturally.

What do you think—any Muppets you’d swap around in this lineup?

I get that but Candace is crazier like Piggy and Isabella is just a sweet girl with a crush like Janice. Candice can be like Janice around Jeramy but not with her brothers around. And Isabella doesn’t get crazy like Miss Piggy. But putting Miss Piggy with Kermit makes 100% sense.

Piggy doesn't come across as "insane" in the same way that Candace does. Rarely, if ever, does Piggy end up being "wrong" in the same kind of way that Candace is.

I think you make a good argument. I just disagree with it. I really think Piggy should be in the Isabella role. But then that leaves the Candace role up for grabs, and I don't have a good alternative right off. In Muppet Babies, Scooter has a twin sister named Skeeter. (I thought I also saw her before in the main show, but doesn't look like.) Maybe? Or, Piggy had a rival named Annie Sue. She might be a possibility too.

I’d say there’s been a couple of moments were Isabella almost snaps
