#311: “Lack of International Understanding”

Okay. Rough week. The Spike Milligan episode of The Muppet Show is kinda racist and we’re not gonna pull punches on this one, folks. It’s real bad. Singer Leslie Uggams’ appearance comes across better, but any episode looks great compared to the problematic minefield that is the Muppets’ salute to internationality. Lack of International Understanding, indeed. Oh, and Big Bird shows up too.
