We’re back from a little break, ready and…somehow not at all rested. But that’s okay because James Coco brings us a fairly languid episode, despite all his talk of pace pace pace! Maybe his energy was low because of his severe diet. Fortunately there’s also some underwater delights from a failed skiffle outfit, a Droop sighting, short people, and Wayne and Scooter finally acknowledge their forbidden love. Oh, and puppet holes. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/james-coco

Baby, it’s Raquel Welch! We’re pretty mixed on this episode, which has some wild gender politics along with some wild spiders, and the horniest Muppets we’ve seen to date. And what’s more troubling, Miss Piggy frying up bacon in a pan, or pondering Gonzo’s living situation? Only one of them is a W-O-P-I-G, and only one of us saw Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark three times, so put on your Bob Mackie cavewoman outfit and confide in us for a sexational episode of The Muppet Show. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/raquel-welch

Drink every time we say “beautiful” or “socialite” and maybe Miss Piggy will be able to successfully trick you into marriage! This episode is a mixed bag but we’re all quite taken with its beautiful socialite guest, our first look at a certain boomerang fish act (they’re coming back!), some nifty Muppet choreography, and a fun twist on a musical theatre classic. Plus bad Zoom backgrounds, a rare case of wanting Muppets to be more dead, Tetris, and sports! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/marisa-berenson

This week’s episode goes out to all the hatchlings and all the eggs. We go behind the Muppet candelabra for an in-depth look at the geography of the Muppet theater, Fletcher Bird’s possible side-hustles (as it were), new Popes, litigious homosexuality, incongruous cruising piers, and Gillian Lynne bird sex parties.

And we swear, we’re still not a Little House on the Prairie podcast.

Muppvengers Assemble! Get ready for the most important summit of all time when worlds collide at a strangely rural train station. We’re joined this week by Matthew Gaydos and Sam Schultz from the Kermitment podcast to talk about the most awarded lady in country music, dogs with jobs, birth control, railroad logistics, improv games gone wrong, dancing hobos, fumigation, theatrical geography, and horrifying babies. Will we stay on track or get derailed as we take a sentimental journey through this high-concept episode of The Muppet Show? Hop on your handcar to find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/loretta-lynn

It’s a spooky, scary episode of The Muppet Show with demented, sick, degenerate, barbaric, naughty, doofy, moist weirdo Alice Cooper! Welcome to my nightmare: We’ll travel over the rainbow, all the way to Monkeypox, Tennessee, where school’s out forever, noted Joe Raposo stan Frank Sinatra’s recording history is disputed, and you and me can lounge on a bunch of pillows talking about Yip Harburg, Walter Cronkite, Star Trek, cave teeth, Satan, the Great Pumpkin, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Wait, this is no nightmare, it’s just a typical episode of Muppeturgy! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/alice-cooper

Jean Stapleton is just wild about Harry and we're just wild about...The Hanna-Barbera Happy Hour, Little House On The Prairie, Pocahontas 2, Murder She Wrote, You've Got Mail, and the Good Neighbor Policy? Look, it was the 70s, those things were all in the family. On the actual Muppet front, we've got creepy two headed twins, a pig throuple, Mexican jumping beans, waltzing walnuts, some melodrama involving Annie Sue, a truly delightful Fozzie duet, an inexplicable Crazy Harry invention, and the worst music hall number yet! But did we like it? You'll have to listen to find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jean-stapleton

Hello, Pearlie, it’s so nice to be up to one of our all-time favorite episodes of The Muppet Show! We’ve got the horse right here with more musical theatre shenanigans than you can shake a jousting lance from Camelot at, and a boy like that who’ll turn your avocado critic into guacamole for a picnic in the good old summertime, leaving no soul as a witness. Don’t be shellfish, put on your pantsuit and grab a plate of Duncan Hines and listen to our episode! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/pearl-bailey

The plot stickens, and you say ALLENTOWN?!? This episode has it all: Gilda Radner, Emily Litella, Bunsen Honeydew at his most patronizing, a truly horrifying Muppet Labs accident, Eskimo pigs, a penguin who’s going out there a youngster and coming back a star, Peter Friedman, the Milford Plaza (is the lullaby of all Broadway!), Gilbert and Sullivan, Aaron Sorkin, Kevin Kline’s mustache, Uncle Deadly at the Boom-Boom Room, Jerry Orbach’s eyes, AND the most famous Muppet of all: a 7-foot tall talking carrot! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/gilda-radner

Hee-haw and hubba-wha, it’s the Roy Clark episode of The Muppet Show! It’s not going to set the world on fire but it’s a pretty fun time, with dogs and frogs and pigs and chickens and ducks and foxes and…mustachioed flutists and empowered sex workers? Throw in the Grand Old Opry, Fallout, and some serious concerns about fire code violations, and you’ve got yourself a Muppeturgy! https://muppeturgy/episodes/roy-clark
