We meet Annie Sue for real in this bird-forward episode that made us feel like dancing but also raised a lot of questions about the definitions of rock ‘n’ roll and disco, clowns vs. mimes, upsetting dwarves, unexpected Ghostbusters, and why a light rock hit that is definitely not not about masturbation is staged as a forest orgy with Emmet Otter. Oh, and Christie’s mom is here! Do you need us to feel like dancing? Listen to the show going on! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/leo-sayer

We took a little break between seasons, just for the halibut, but we're so happy to be back. With a bit of a whimper of a Muppet Show episode to be honest, but if you've been dying to hear us talk about the 1978-79 TV season, A Star Is Born, A Joyful Noise, Disney's Pinocchio, terrifying Muppet eyes, salad cream, Danish butter cookies, protruding nipples, and, uh, Jonestown, you're in luck! Grab your skinny mic and join us for season 3. We promise it’s not hoopless! Yaaaaaayyyyyyy! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/kris-kristofferson-rita-coolidge

For the second time in a row, scheduling and technical issues delayed our season finale, but we hope we’re getting it to you just in time. We think it was worth the weight ($1.69 a pound at Zabar’s!) for the legendary Cloris Leachman and…a violent hostage situation led by revolutionary pigs? You know, for kids! Put on your best polka dot scarf (other clothing optional) and start marking the days on the wall in chalk until season three! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/cloris-leachman

This! Is an ex! …tremely funny episode of The Muppet Show! At least some of us thought so. As is so often the way with these things, John Cleese’s modern shenanigans have given us some mixed feelings about him, but he was at his prime here and his comic sensibility wasn’t at all a stretch for the Muppets, leaving no souls lost. You don’t have to pirate this episode, listen now! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/john-cleese

We sure hope you like our podcast episode better than we liked this Muppet Show episode, which had us shaking with rage at Kermit, Scooter, diet culture, and whoever thought this swill was a good idea, even in 1977. This backstage plot really takes the cake and you’re just going to have to lettuce workout our feelings about it. We promise to get back to less weighty matters less week. It's not all bad… There are some cute songs, a fourth-wall-breaking Pigs in Space, and we have our own very special guest star, Tough Pigs’ Joe Hennes! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/teresa-brewer

We’ve lost all hope…but we’ve found Michal’s sister! Also some hillbilly ding dongs, the components of a horse, an unusually prescient Muppet Labs invention, and a whole lotta puns. Stop! Hey, what’s that sound? It’s our podcast episode about the Bob Hope episode of The Muppet Show! Quit loafing around and give it a listen. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/bob-hope

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always join the Mickey Moose Club and give your heart gladly to our Petula Clark episode! Will our rowboat sink or will the sun come out tomorrow? I’m tired already. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/petula-clark

We have questions about this episode. Mostly: Why? Peter Sellers famously said (to Kermit!) “You see, there is no me, I do not exist,” and it’s sort of fun to see him prove that by only appearing in character on The Muppet Show, we just wish those characters were less creepy and/or racist. When Kermit has a nervous breakdown in Muppet Labs, it’s easy to see why. Content warning: this episode contains discussions of brown-face makeup, an offensive word, and content warnings. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/peter-sellers

We confess we didn’t know much about Jaye P. Morgan before (we definitely knew she was not a railroad heiress…definitely) but after watching this explosive episode we’re super into her! Come for the horny, chaotic Studio 54 energy, stay to hear us slander Morris dancers! Plus incredible hats, deeply weird birds, and Dr. Teeth bringing new meaning to The Gong Show. We know you won’t be really indifferent, give it a listen! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jaye-p-morgan

High on a hill was a lonely podcast…If you’ve ever listened to us before, you can safely assume we have positive feelings about Dame Julie Andrews. But have we loved this episode since it was a tadpole and we were a fish, or think it should be egregiously overlooked? Do we have beef with the live cow backstage, or will somebody dance to a happy tune? We have here a list of a few of our favorite things, so do (re mi) give it a listen, won’t you? Super! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/julie-andrews
