#213: “But In a Very Funny Way”
Season Two is in the books! Listen as Chad and Nick break down their Five Top 5's for the The Muppet Show's sophomore year. What were their favorite songs? Their biggest laughs? Will these two very basic men yet again pick a woman they love as the best guest star? Very likely.
#212: “Spooble”
The Muppet Show's second season wraps up with a couple o' good'uns. Minister of Silly Walks John Cleese and 8-time Emmy winner Cloris Leachman. Gonzo stretches himself too thin, Piggy walks a fine line, and the pigs take over the show. ¡VIVA LA REVOLUCIÓN!
#211: “Tell Us of Your Gay Romance”
This week The Muppet Show welcomes special guest stars Bob Hope and Teresa Brewer! Beaker gets eaten, Animal gets wild, and... Gonna be honest here. We don't have many kind things to say about #222. Because it is not a kind episode. It’s mean and not okay. You've been warned.
#210: “Wild, Wild Women”
This week we're talking about comedy legend Peter Sellers and international recording artist Petula Clark! Link gets a massage, Kermit gets real tired of puns, and The #MuppetShow is invaded by a damn Skeksis! I was not emotionally prepared for that. TRIAL BY STONE!
#209: “Nobody Knows Nothing About the Cow”
There are icons and then there are Icons. But there is only one Julie Andrews. And she's on The Muppet Show this week, along with singer and actor Jaye P. Morgan. Beaker blows his top, Harry blows up the guest star, and what in the Sam Hill are we going to do with this beautiful bovine hanging around here?
#208: “Put Some Soul in the Bowl”
This week The Mupppet Show gets some soul with special guest stars Lou Rawls and Cleo Laine! Fozzie's on a roll, Zoot's on... something, and Link sings to a live piglet and God can we PLEASE stop with the live animals on the show??? (Checks notes for next week.) Guess not.
#207: “Culture is Culture or : The Endless Sameness of Eternal Space”
A couple of heavy hitters this week: ballet great Rudolf Nureyev and "the greatest talent in the history of the universe," (according to Scooter) Sir Elton John! Piggy gets inappropriate, The Chef gets homicidal, and, man, Sam the Eagle really hates hippies. Raise your hand if you are actually shocked by that.
#206: “All My Doggone Cheatin’ Life”
Couple of great Muppet Show guests on this week’s episode: Pizza the Hutt himself Dom DeLouise and Broadway star Bernadette peters. Piggy has a plan, Robin has a dream, and Kermit has… absolutely no respect for monogamy. Man, the Ladies sure do Love Cool K.
#205: “Gonzo Fiddles While George Burns”
Listen, you’re just going to have to bear with us this week. We are two men who are unabashedly smitten with Miss Madeline Kahn and will not bother to hide it. George Burns is pretty great, too. The frog tap dances, Scooter spills the beans, and, hell, forget it already… Did I mention MADELINE KAHN?
#204: “At the Service of All Porkdom”
This week The Muppet Show is visited by a real dummy and a total jerk. Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and renaissance man Steve Martin are our very special guests. Piggy chops some wood, Gonzo gets cheesy, and I'm sorry did Fozzie just create life? ALL BOW DOWN TO OUR BEAR AND SAVIOR!
#203: “Nudity in the World Today”
This week on A Feat of Lunatic Daring, the #MuppetShow is visited by singer/songwriter Judy Collins and funnywoman Nancy Walker. Scooter's uncle drops in, Kermit calls out, and Sam gets his feathers all ruffled when talking about nudity. Methinks the eagle doth protest too much.
#202: “Intrepid and Well-Fed”
Season Two rolls on with Mr. Television himself, Milton Berle, and the man of a thousand (mediocre) voices, Rich Little. Piggy shakes her moneymaker, Gonzo turns out to be a leg man, and the debut of PIIIIIIIIGS IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!!!
#201: “Beach Blanket Frankenstein”
Season Two of The Muppet Show begins with a couple of big guests with big personalities: TV Star Don Knotts and the incomparable Zero Mostel! Fozzie loses his cool, Sam loses his patience, and Kermit-- I’m sorry. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS GINGERBREAD MAN NUMBER? WHY, JIM, WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO US?
