Roger Moore, then the current James Bond, made an appearance on The Muppet Show in episode 524, fighting off villainous spy Muppets disguised as cute bunny rabbits.

The same season, Shirley Bassey sang "Goldfinger," the title song from the Bond movie, in The Muppet Show episode 504; Link Hogthrob appeared in the number, clad as Auric Goldfinger.

A Monsterpiece Theater sketch spoofs the James Bond franchise with a James Bond Muppet and Dr. No.

Baby Kermit appeared as a James Bond-type spy in issue #16 of the Muppet Babies Comics.

Baby Gonzo imagined himself as Double-O-Gonzo in a 1984 Muppet Babies episode, "The Case of the Missing Chicken." The episode also has Baby Piggy as "Octopiggy", a reference to the heroine from the recent 1983 film Octopussy.

The Muppet Babies episode "The Frog Who Knew Too Much" features a number of Bond references, including a sequence in which Baby Gonzo portrays Dr. Nose, a reference to Dr. No.

Baby Gonzo shoots a water pistol at the camera as James bond in "Nice to Have Gnome You"

The Dinosaurs episode "How to Pick Up Girls", Robbie Sinclair imagines himself as a James Bond figure, battling a dinosaur caricature of Goldfinger villain Odd Job.

Pierce Brosnan, the '90s James Bond, appeared in Muppets Tonight episode 204. In homage, when Clifford introduces Brosan, a James Bond gun barrel sequence was shown looking for him with the James Bond Theme playing.

Ernst Stavros Grouper, from Muppets Tonight episode 205, is a spoof of recurring Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Kermit also appeared as Agent Frog, a James Bond-type spy in Spy Muppets: License to Croak. Other Muppets in the game include Miss Piggy as Piggy Galore and Gonzo as Dr. Nose.

Kermit spoofed James Bond in the 1998` calendar Muppet Movie Parodies: Plump Fiction, in "Go Figure."

Jalan Sesama parodied the titular character with Agen Rahasia 123.

In the Sesame Street song, "Put a Lid on It", Waiter Grover brings Mr. Johnson a milkshake, stirred not shaken. However, Mr. Johnson replies he asked for it "shaken not stirred!", a quote from many of the James Bond films.

In a 2008 episode of Sesame Street, Oscar tries to hide from Abby Cadabby by wearing a disguise and claiming his name is "James Bond".

In Sesamgade episode 35, the James Bond theme is used when Secret agent Elmo is sneaking around in his room.

In a Twitter posting on January 26, 2012 as part of the Ask Kermit promotion for the United Kingdom premiere of The Muppets, Kermit said, "My Tux is by Nicky Napoleon of Emperor Penguin Formal Wear. Makes me look like Pond, James Pond."[1]

A segment of "Cookie's Crumby Pictures" stars Cookie Monster as the spy "Double-Stuffed 7" in the movie, The Spy Who Loved Cookies. The segment features a villain, Ladyfingers (spoofing Goldfinger), as well as spoofs of James Bond songs ("Goldfinger" and "Skyfall").

In Muppets Most Wanted, Constantine wears steel-capped teeth similar to the Bond villain Jaws (from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker), using them to chomp his way out of a rope net that Animal had captured him in.

Muppets Most Wanted also features Fozzie saying "Kermit, you were like James Bond back there," referring to Kermit's sneaking into the Tower of London.

Two UK posters were created for the release of Muppets Most Wanted, "Frogfall" and "The Pig is not Enough"

In a Global Grover segment on Russia, Grover ends his film by saying "From Russia...with love," the title of the second James Bond film.

I think Telly Savalas was a guest on the Muppets once, not as Blofeld though.
"Dalton makes an effective Bond - lacking Sean Connery's grace and humor, and Roger Moore's suave self-mockery, but with a lean tension and a toughness that is possibly more contemporary" - Roger Ebert
