I like the City animals idea. I've bought numerous copies of previous CMFs just for the animal they came with. I would buy a LOT of animals.
(BTW - they had one of the best video games.)
Looney Toons is a must!
The Muppets would be fun, I would love Animal.

While not a series I would love a cricketer and an old time fire fighter to go with the old fashioned police officer.
I suppose that explains their inclusion in the CMF series.
Yeah they do too, fingers crossed then.
I can't see a problem with that, the whole point of the CMFs is the unusual moulds. Look how many of the previous CMFs had one off heads.
Besides this would be the perfect series to fill the last shelf on in my display case.
I think they've done fairly well. Two movies were made as part of their revival. There is a new Muppet Babies cartoon on tv currently, and they still have a pretty noticeable presence in the theme parks. I don't know if that would necessarily translate into a CMF line (as much as I'd like it), but I think the Muppets are still pretty popular and well-known. Here in the states they just had a small bit on the Drop the Mic tv show. It was actually really amusing.
Not everything has to be SW, Marvel, Disney or the like level of success to be popular.
But it's definitely a second-tier Disney property, and I'm sure fans feel as though it's being ignored. (But I'm sure it does as well as any other non-Disney franchise.)

Now, I'm unfamiliar with these series outside of the fact they exist. So perhaps they were sold only regionally?
I've no issue with regional exclusives - I'd have liked the Dragon Dance set, but I wouldn't even have paid RRP for it, and frankly if I miss something because it doesn't hit the price point I'd be happy with then I don't feel any remorse for missing it.
There are plenty of CMF series I'd love to see LEGO do, most of which they wouldn't tough with a 50ft barge pole, but here are some stupid ideas just for the sake of it.
Nickelodeon - Rugrats, Wild Thornberries, AAAHHHHHHHH Real Monsters etc (fuel the 90s nostalgia)
Nintendo - Basically look at the Smash Bros Ultimate roster for an easy set of potentials (any excuse to suggest Nintendo LEGO)
Shonen Jump Anime - Dragonball, Naruto, Bleach, D.Grayman, Hunter x Hunter, Death Note (Shonen own a lot of the big name anime series so could have a decent mix, even if the majority of people wouldn't have a clue who most of the characters are)
Pokémon - Each pack would have to be a Trainer and a small Pokémon (e.g Ash & Pikachu, Brock & Geodude, Misty & Togepie, Lance & Dratini, Serena & Fennekin, Dawn & Piplup, Gary & Eevee, Prof Oak & any Gen 1 starter)
Music Legends - Obviously would be difficult to avoid every single musician that had some level of scandal, but hey Yellow Submarine has enough dodgy subtext but that passed LEGO's values.
Cartoon Network - again personally I'd be after more 90s nostalgia - Dexter's Lab etc
Classic literature - I suspect if LEGO did something like this it would be a yellow skin series with unnamed but obviously inspired by characters like Mr Good & Evil that was obviously meant as Jekyll and Hyde - but I'd love A fleshy series where they are explicitly named.
I could go on but that's probably enough
See, all you have to do is get a little dirt on someone and you can ruin their reputation for the rest of eternity.
My point is that @SumoLego is right in that there aren't too many historical people who's lives would withstand today's witch hunt mentality for the deeds they did or didn't do.
