the taping of this show must have been a hoot.....rita trying so hard not to laugh in the last skit,they probubly had to a couple of takes....miss jim so much,was sucha genius.
(At 3:33-4:05) Kermit for all we know that could have been Michael Jackson calling Fozzie wanting to be booked onto The Muppet Show, since he didn't get his spot, unlike Diana Ross! If that was MJ, you lost your chance for a good singing and dancing star!!! But since we don't know for certain, since Animal disconnected that phone, who knows who or what that was that time?
@multimumpitz then first season frank oz didn't have the classic fozzie bear voice down YET and was still working on it thanks and i think frank oz seems to fully doing piggy's voice for the muppets (coming out next month cheap plug i know) but maybe also fozzie this one so far looks like well jim himself would of pulled it off
yes, there may be a reason that "rita chick" won oscar, grammy, golden globe, two emmy's a tony, plus several other stuff and was awarded the presidential medal of freedom and the national medal of arts
Muppet Show had a lot of stuff that wasn't for children, and a lot of funny stuff that wouldn't be allowed nowadays by any standard. Like Alice Cooper's episode, people in the South would be rioting in the streets if they tried that now. Hehe, but it was funny. I also think kids aren't as stupid as people want to think, quite capable of distinguishing comedy from reality. Those that are... well, they'd find some other excuse for their antisocial behavior... sometimes ignorance is a choice.

@TsWade2 According to Muppet Wiki, Rita told Animal: "Listen, buddy. All I wanna tell you is that you shouldn't do that. It's not nice, you understand? Look at me when I'm talking to you. This is my number, and if you bother me any more I'm gonna hit you so hard, it's gonna leave you stupid. COOL IT!!"
lol the big stripey shirt guy: Was that a puppet?! xD I LOVE the muppets! (Go snowths and MahNa MahNa my fave characters, that i havent seen in a while. =/ ) lol but muppets rock!
@jjr1269 IMO, the female celebs with the biggest "assets" that were allowed on the show were Connie Stevens and Lynda Carter. Dolly Parton would have *literally* overshadowed the Muppets.
@overkillll "Listen buddy, I want to tell you to stop doing that. It's not nice, understand? Look at me when I talk to you. This is my number, and if you bother me any more I'm going to slap you silly. Cool it."

So this show teaches us that it's okay for men to hit women like that slapstick comedy skit "Goody Goody" at 02;22.
This show has great slapstick comedy skits, and I think this show is one reason that kids are violent in the first place. LOL!
But The Muppet Show is a great kids show and I'd like them to bring back the reruns and air them on either TV Land, RTV (Retro TV), Ion Channel, ABC Family, or whatever other channel(s) that would possibly be willing to air its reruns, here in the U.S.A.
@MultiMumpitz I would also want them to bring back the reruns of The Muppet Show (often packaged with Muppets Tonight episodes and Jim Henson Hour's Muppetelevison segments) and air them on CN (Cartoon Network) along with Muppet Babies (often packaged with the lost Muppet series Littlle Muppet Monsters).
@1985Nebraska He may have hit her but as the show begins in the 1/3 part Rita Moreno does an Apache Dance with the guy in the striped shirt, and beats the hell out of him!! She virtually pummeled him!! So in my eyes it worked both ways.
@1985Nebraska The Muppet Show came on later on in prime time, like 8 or 9 PM. I wasn't allowed to stay up for it until I was a teenager, so that blows your "that's why kids are violent" out of the water. No, for that, you have to look to Warner Brothers and GI Joe and Transformers for my generation, or Power Rangers and anime for later generations. It's the endless fighting on the daytime shows that you want to blame, leave the Muppets out of it!
yay!!! go Animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
