In the early '70s, the immense popularity of the Muppets they created for Sesame Street gave Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, and the rest of the Muppet Performers plenty of valuable exposure. However, it also threatened to pigeonhole the Henson crew as mere children's entertainers. Thus the impetus for creating a new series featuring the Muppets alone, still family-friendly but with a distinctly adult edge.note A series of less family-friendly Muppet sketches appeared on the first season of Saturday Night Live, but the cast hated them.ABC aired a pair of pilot specials, The Muppets Valentine Show (1974) and The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence (1975), but when all the US networks rejected their (frankly awesome) pitch for a weekly series, Henson and co. instead finagled a distribution deal with Britain's ITC Entertainment, under the auspices of Lord Lew Grade. As it happened Grade very well knew what puppets could do on TV, considering he'd financed Gerry Anderson's classic Supermarionation series like Thunderbirds. Eventually American network CBS, or rather their owned-and-operated station group, joined up once it was clear that the Muppets were also a sure bet.The Muppet Show was produced for worldwide weekly syndication from 1976 to 1981. The series was videotaped at the Elstree studios of ITC's sister company ATV (where sequences for Star Wars and Indiana Jones were also filmed; the studios are currently home to EastEnders). The choreography for the human guests was created by Gillian Lynne, who later went on to design all the ballet sequences in Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage production of The Phantom of the Opera.Cheerful, cool-headed Kermit the Frog was the emcee-slash-production manager-slash-eye of the storm for this truly "far-out" all-puppet Variety Show. The setting was a tiny rundown downtown theatre and the tone was deliberately reminiscent of old-style vaudeville, where anything could happen and usually did. Other major members of the troupe included diva Miss Piggy, comedian Fozzie Bear, piano-playing Rowlf the Dog, daredevil performance artist Gonzo the Great, and Scooter the eager "go-fer".A different human entertainer was featured as each episode's Special Guest, and the show's cachet quickly became such that they were frequently A-list talent — often uniquely so (ballet legend Rudolf Nureyev, anyone?). Each week, technical flubs, talent crises, rampaging egos and financial issues (when the pigs weren't rebelling, or angry clones weren't on the loose, or the Star Wars cast wasn't rampaging through in search of Chewbacca) would bring the show teetering to the brink of disaster; each week, the show somehow managed to go on.Recurring sketches included Veterinarian's Hospital, starring Rowlf ("the continuing stoooooooory of a quack who's gone to the dogs"); Pigs in Space (yep, pretty much); Muppet Labs, with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his perpetually terrified assistant Beaker ("Now your family can be protected from the heartbreak of gorilla invasion!"); cooking segments with the game-but-goofy Swedish Chef; and the disaster-prone Muppet News Flash. Keyboard-playing Doctor Teeth and his Electric Mayhem — laid-back bassist and singer Floyd Pepper, groovy guitarist Janice, silent saxophonist Zoot, and drummer Animal — were the house band. And sitting high above it all in the balcony, in prime position to volley insults, were codger hecklers Statler and Waldorf:Ostensibly a family show, The Muppet Show in practice played freely with the dark side of Henson's vision, more familiar from his later work. Notable guest stars included Alice Cooper, Vincent Price, Jonathan Winters, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and Steve Martin. Songs from adult shows like Chicago and Cabaret were worked into the mix (to say nothing of Elton John singing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", or Cooper's "Welcome to My Nightmare"...) Casual violence abounded and seemingly gentle skits often took a weirdly surreal turn.The show became so popular that in at least one U.S. market, two stations broadcast different episodes in back-to-back time slots. The show was never actually cancelled; instead, Henson and company decided to end it so that they could work on films, The Dark Crystal in particular.The concept was brought back and updated in 1989, with the "Muppet Television" segments of The Jim Henson Hour, which moved the show from a theatre to a TV station. A second short-lived revival aired in 1996, Muppets Tonight, with the Muppet team using an entire television network's headquarters for their Show Within a Show instead of a single studio.The show was revived in the form of a Comic-Book Adaptation, The Muppet Show Comic Book, and a Youtube channel.See The Muppets for various other Muppet productions, and Muppet Cameo when they show up in other shows.

The Artifact: The pilot episodes (with guests Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens, which were later re-worked) had a longer theme song. The song had a spot for the guest star to sing a line: "It's very nice to be here / I'm pleased to say hello", which would be the rhyme for "The Muppet Show". These lines were removed from the song for the actual series, making the "Muppet Show" lyric seem a touch out of place.

Morphic Resonance
 The Muppet Show / int_15827a31
comment
Morphic Resonance: In the Roger Miller episode, the cast is swept by an outbreak of cluckitis, a disease which turns the afflicted into chickens. The Swedish Chef retains his mustache and eye-covering eyebrows. Lew Zealand, Rowlf, Piggy, Floyd and Janice keep their respective eyes; Kermit does, as well, and even has his pointy collar. Only the main cast retains Morphic Resonance, however, and some don't even get that: extras and even some of the main cast turn into indistinguishable chickens. Maybe they'll have a hat or necklace, which they keep.

Kayfabe: The Muppets have a long-standing tradition in appearances outside the show and in public events. Their performers are never seen and the humans interact with the puppets like regular people. This means that performers need to have really good improv skills in order to say unscripted lines that would be appropriate for their characters.

Talking Animal: Putting aside the main cast including a frog, a bear, pigs, dogs, and the like, the non-anthropomorphic critters that show up from time to time are often also fully capable of speech, sometimes even getting full musical numbers to themselves.

Deal with the Devil: In the Alice Cooper episode, there's a subplot about Cooper offering various members of the cast a contract that will give them whatever they want in return for their soul. Kermit rejects the whole thing out of hand; Piggy is tempted for great beauty, until she finds out what Cooper considers beautiful; and Gonzo is unreservedly enthusiastic about the whole idea, but has to pass because he can't find a pen.

I'm a Humanitarian: Zero Mostel almost gets eaten. John Cleese's agent does get eaten. In the Candace Bergen episode, it is implied that the previous guest was eaten. And the Muppets are constantly eating each other: one of the creepier instances of this was a Muppet eating another, then singing "I've Got You Under My Skin" — while the smaller Muppet, still alive, struggles to escape. (And occasionally takes over the song for a line or two: "I've tried so hard not to give in...")

comment
Laugh Track: Used (much to the annoyance of Henson & co.) in nearly every episode, not only for on-stage segments, where it can be understood as the laughter of the audience (who are all Muppets themselves) watching the show in the Muppet Theater, but in the backstage scenes. An exception is the Steve Martin episode, which features auditions for the show-within-the-show instead of a performance, and the only laughter heard is that of the Muppet performers. (Or at least that was the original intention. In the end, it turned out that Richard Hunt's laughter was so loud, they had to put in a bit of a laugh track anyway.)

Wraparound Background
 The Muppet Show / int_2256c48a
comment
Wraparound Background: When a Wheel o' Feet critter sings "The Windmills of Your Mind" in the Don Knotts episode. During the cowboy sketch in the Bob Hope episode, as Cowboy Bob rides his horse across the lone prairie. In the Loretta Lynn episode, as Kermit and Gonzo travel by handcar. The "Jogging" item in the Danny Kaye episode and the the "Dog Walk" item in the immediately subsequent Spike Milligan episode use the same wraparound background (and the singer from each appears as a background event in the other). Another cowboy-riding-aross-the-lone-prairie example is the "Four-Legged Friend" bit in the Roy Rogers episode, although this time there's two of them — and they're riding cows. Also used in the Anne Murray episode as Piggy and some male pigs go motorcycle riding while singing the Beach Boys' "I Get Around", but not actually going anywhere.

Mythology Gag: Some of the sketches and songs performed on The Muppet Show were initially performed on programs like Sesame Street, The Ed Sullivan Show, Sam and Friends, and others. Notable sketches of this caliber include "Mahna Mahna", "Coffee Break Machine", "The Glow-Worm" and "Hugga Wugga".

Funny Background Event: There are a few here and there. One occurs in the Gilda Radner episode. When Gilda is being used as the guinea pig for Honeydew's latest invention, Beaker is trying to contain his laughter. He's probably tickled at the fact that he doesn't have to be the guinea pig for once.

Carnivore Confusion: A frequent problem encountered by the Swedish Chef, whose main courses tend to walk into his kitchen on their own four feet. Memorably lampshaded when he tries to cook Big Bird, and later when he tries to make frog's legs with Kermit's nephew Robin. In fact, sometimes it even gets into Herbivore Confusion.

Vocal Evolution

comment
Fozzie's voice was considerably lower and more gravely the pilots, and his puppet was a slightly different model. When the pilots were reworked and one of Fozzie's sketches still had his old voice in it, they added a Hand Wave to one of the backstage scenes - since the sketch was a Western parody, the lower voice was Fozzie's poor attempt at a John Wayne impression.

Evolving Credits
 The Muppet Show / int_3297cfbb
comment
Evolving Credits: The opening titles change with each season. Season 1 uses an entirely different style of opening from the others, lacking the arches. Instead, two lines of Muppets dance across the stage, Kermit comes on-stage mid-credits to introduce the guest, Fozzie tries to make a joke, and the credits end with Gonzo trying to ring the "o" in "show" like a gong. Season 2 has the arches, and that stays broadly the same for the remainder of the show. However, season 3 adds the audience impatiently demanding they just start the show, and a Couch Gag of either Statler and Waldorf doing something, or on rarer occasions one of the cast doing something silly. Season 4 cuts out the second verse ("it's time to put on make-up"), so instead the two lines of Muppets come on singing "it's time to play the music" as one, but season 5 restores the previous version, as well as adding in Statler and Waldorf now singing their own complaint about the show, along with a moment of Lips playing to himself.

"Freaky Friday" Flip: One "Pigs in Space" sketch has Dr. Strangepork developing an experimental Teleport Gun that he first uses to steal a beverage from First Mate Piggy. The second time he uses it, Link and Piggy are the test subjects, which causes their voices and personalities to change bodies. As a side effect, Dr. Strangepork and Janice's bodies switch with each other, not long before Kermit walks onto the set with the Swedish Chef's voice; the chef, with Kermit's voice, appears immediately afterward to cancel the sketch.

At the end, the boy walks offstage with an arrow through his head. "You know me. In one ear and out the other." In the Sylvester Stallone episode, an orchestra performs the William Tell Overture and finishes with the cellist firing the bow from his cello to shoot an apple off Beauregard's head.

Rowlf. As head-writer Jerry Juhl pointed out, Rowlf was mostly consigned to being used in musical numbers and skits, almost completely absent from backstage Character Development. It's not that they didn't like the character, it's that Jim was busy performing Kermit, yet didn't want Rowlf recast. As a result, ideas Juhl had for developing relationships between Rowlf and Fozzie, Rowlf and Piggy, etc., never came to fruition.

No Fourth Wall: The fact that the series takes place on a stage show seems like justification for the lack of such... until you realise that the Muppets constantly break it backstage. And the audience keeps laughing at everything said and occurring off stage, even though there's absolutely no way they'd be seeing or hearing them. Even Statler and Waldorf are no exception to this, as they once ask why they continue to watch the show, then immediately asks the viewers, "Why do you watch this?"

The Cover Changes the Meaning: Noel Harrison's "The Windmills of Your Mind" gets perfomed a Muppet called Screaming Thing; The original was about lost love, while the cover is a Sanity Slippage Song and the Muppet Show didn't even need to change a single lyric to make it that way. Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" goes from being about the riots over Los Angeles' curfews to an anti-hunting message performed by woodland animals.

Ungrateful Bastard: In the Tony Randall episode, Miss Piggy gets turned into a stone statue. In Pigs in Space, when Link and Dr. Strangepork manage to turn her back to normal, she threatens them over what they had said about her, which results in them turning her back. In the closing act, Scooter tells Tony Randall that he found the spell to turn her back, which is saying "pigskin". Piggy gets offended by his use of the word, even though it was said to bring her back to normal, and karate chops him. And even though Tony is the one who turned her that way in the first place. Not a good night for those who had helped Piggy.

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: When Fozzie has to share the comedy stage with Wally Whoopee, who keeps interrupting his acts and acts like a jerkass to Fozzie, he then appears to Throw the Dog a Bone and offer to let Fozzie spend the weekend at his ranch, which Fozzie thinks sounds nice, until Wally says that he wants him there to be his rug ("my usual rug is at the cleaner!").

One character that needed a lot of development then was Fozzie; he was played as a bad comedian who is rather obnoxious and is treated rather cruelly in the early stories. However, the seeds of what would make him a great character in later seasons showed in episode 10 with the "Good Grief, the Comedian's a Bear" sketch when you see him struggle to set up a joke with Kermit and is both hilarious and charming with his innocent goofs and his determination to make it work. Fozzie's voice was considerably lower and more gravely the pilots, and his puppet was a slightly different model. When the pilots were reworked and one of Fozzie's sketches still had his old voice in it, they added a Hand Wave to one of the backstage scenes - since the sketch was a Western parody, the lower voice was Fozzie's poor attempt at a John Wayne impression.

The Stinger: Provided each week by Statler and Waldorf, followed by Zoot playing the final note on his sax, which would occasionally do something strange. The Kay Ballad episode which has with the Electric Mayhem (and the rest of the orchestra, minus Rowlf) quitting and ends with Nigel the Conductor conducting Rowlf playing the theme solo on piano also gives them the Stinger.

Paper-Thin Disguise: In the Mac Davis episode, Bunsen wears disguises to hide himself from the many Beaker clones (It Makes Sense in Context). His first disguise is a trench coat, hat, and special glasses with a fake nose and mustache attached, which fools Kermit, who didn't think he looked like Bunsen, and at the end, Bunsen is dressed as Beaker, whom both Kermit and the various Beakers don't recognize as Bunsen, while Mac does notice he's wearing a disguise. His costume is just a red-haired wig and fake eyes and nose, otherwise it looks like Bunsen.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 The Muppet Show / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first season is wildly different from all later seasons. The show's first season had a different (and far less epic) opening, fewer celebrity interactions with the Muppets, the first two guests were given their own Muppets in their likeness (eliminated in part because of the cost), Gonzo's eyes weren't as expressive, some other characters looked and/or sounded different, etc. The show was also more gag-centric in the first season, due in large part to Jack Burns being the show's head writer in that season. In the second season, when Jerry Juhl replaced Burns as the show's head writer, the series started to become more character-based. One character that needed a lot of development then was Fozzie; he was played as a bad comedian who is rather obnoxious and is treated rather cruelly in the early stories. However, the seeds of what would make him a great character in later seasons showed in episode 10 with the "Good Grief, the Comedian's a Bear" sketch when you see him struggle to set up a joke with Kermit and is both hilarious and charming with his innocent goofs and his determination to make it work. Fozzie's voice was considerably lower and more gravely the pilots, and his puppet was a slightly different model. When the pilots were reworked and one of Fozzie's sketches still had his old voice in it, they added a Hand Wave to one of the backstage scenes - since the sketch was a Western parody, the lower voice was Fozzie's poor attempt at a John Wayne impression. The Muppet Valentine Show and Sex and Violence were hosted by now-obscure Muppets (Wally and Nigel respectively, the latter becoming the orchestra's conductor) instead of Kermit. And at the end of the latter, the camera pulls back to show the Muppeteers running around. Also, Miss Piggy in the early episodes was almost unrecognizable. On a related note, in the first season, Miss Piggy was alternately played by both Frank Oz and Richard Hunt, the latter usually portraying her when the former had to play a more prominent character like Fozzie or George the Janitor. This is made even more peculiar in the first episode, in which the final sketch had Oz doing Piggy's speaking voice, and Hunt singing for her. Piggy and Janice were both occasional chorus girls. The first season is the only season without cold opens involving the guest star. Gonzo originally was a rather pathetic nebbish and had a crush on Piggy. He soon gained a whole lot of confidence and a girlfriend in Camilla the chicken. This was reflected in his first-season puppet, which was recycled from a TV special, was a bit ratty-looking, and had a permanent frown on his face. It was rebuilt for the second season, and his base appearance was in place. Eren Ozker and John Lovelady were performers in the first season. Ozker left after that, while Lovelady scaled back his involvement to building puppets for the New York Muppet Workshop before he himself left. Crazy Harry was part of the Muppet Orchestra in the first season. He was still seen in the closing credits in Season 2, as the Season 1 credits were used. Muppet Labs was originally solely hosted by Bunsen. His inventions would usually backfire on himself, and he had a much more frustrated personality. Once the segments became more frequent in Season 2, Bunsen gained both a cheerier, more absent-minded personality, and a loyal, yet long-suffering assistant, Beaker, who quickly became the segment's new guinea pig for testing inventions. Zoot spoke more often in the first season, and was the one dating Janice in the "At the Dance" sketches. Season 2 established Floyd as Janice's boyfriend, while Zoot became The Quiet One in the Electric Mayhem. He also didn't wear his hat all the time in the first season. The pilots had Statler and Waldorf speaking slower like in Sex and Violence, which is easily noticeable in the aired versions when they still have their slower delivery in some of their scenes. As the series progressed, both became far more boisterous. Janice and Crazy Harry were performed by Eren Ozker and John Lovelady in the first season. After their departure, they were darrin'ed by Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson, respectively. The Newsman originally simply read out silly news bits. Starting in Season 2, the news would always happen to him. Also, he didn't wear glasses in Season 1. Kermit wore a purple tuxedo more regularly on stage in the earliest episodes. At the Dance was a more frequent segment in that season as well. It was phased out over time after Juhl became the head writer due to its heavy focus on wordplay. Dr. Julius Strangepork was a generic pig in the first season. Starting in Season 2, he was given a name and became prominent in the Pigs in Space segments. Season 1 also had quite a few segments that never appeared in later seasons, chief among them the Talking Houses and Wayne and Wanda.

Fake Crossover: A fourth-season episode guest-starred some of the characters from Star Wars, as Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 and C-3PO showed up looking for a kidnapped Chewbacca. The search culminated in a double-length "Pigs in Space" skit where Luke and the droids took over the Swinetrek in order to search for Chewie, eventually landing on the Planet Koozebane where they faced against Dearth Nadir (Gonzo in a Darth Vader costume). Needless to say, this is not in continuity for the Star Wars franchise. It is, however, in continuity for the Star Wars-themed webcomic Darths & Droids. The madness starts here.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 The Muppet Show / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: The Steve Martin episode focuses on the audition process instead of the resulting show. In the Loretta Lynn episode, the show takes place at a railroad station because the theatre's being fumigated. The Lynn Redgrave episode takes the form of a production of Robin Hood, with only backstage skits breaking from the theme. In the Glenda Jackson episode, pirates hijack the theatre and sail it out to sea (...somehow). During Cloris Leachman's episode, the show is taken over by the pigs — including pig copies of a few of the regulars. The Liza Minnelli episode was a Whodunnit murder mystery. Brooke Shields' episode was a production of Alice in Wonderland. Bonus points to the production team for designing a Jabberwock muppet that was surprisingly faithful to Jon Tenniel's illustrations. The Carol Burnett episode is themed as a dance marathon for the whole show. Marty Feldman's episode riffed on Arabian Nights with Feldman as Scheherazade ("It's a fantasy. You have to use your imagination"). Also toward the end when Fozzie shouts "Open Sesame", assorted Sesame Street Muppets join the main cast.

In a brief bit in the Spike Milligan episode, a tap-dancer's conversation with Kermit comes to an abrupt end when the Swedish Chef rushes up and attacks him because his tapping has collapsed the Chef's soufflé. This leads Spain and Sweden to declare war on each other.

Endangered Soufflé: In a brief bit in the Spike Milligan episode, a tap-dancer's conversation with Kermit comes to an abrupt end when the Swedish Chef rushes up and attacks him because his tapping has collapsed the Chef's soufflé. This leads Spain and Sweden to declare war on each other. In the Marisa Berenson episode, the Swedish Chef makes a wedding cake for Miss Piggy's Real Fake Wedding which is 'light as a feather'. It collapses when the Chef puts the Miss Piggy cake topper on it.

Extreme Omnivore: Most of the larger Muppet monsters have had moments where they ate things that were not, strictly speaking, food, but there's one in particular for whom this is his main characteristic. He has no name, so he's generally referred to, in memory of one of the things he ate on his debut appearance in the Nancy Walker episode, as the Luncheon Counter Monster.

Laughing at Your Own Jokes: Fozzie does this while doing his stand-up act. He is often the only one laughing. Half the humor of "Veterinarian's Hospital" is Rowlf cracking eye-searingly bad jokes. The rest is him mugging outrageously after each one. Christopher Reeve joins in when he replaces Rowlf for his show. Complete with mugging.

Large Ham: The cast in general qualify; but Miss Piggy qualifies in more ways than one. Gonzo also cranks it up a notch or two. If the celebrity guest stars aren't keeping up with the Muppets in the scenery chewing department, then they're just flat-out doing it wrong. Exhibit A: Mark Hamill impersonating Kermit and Fozzie, followed by a bout of tapdancing. Exhibit B: Roger Moore judo-chopping a laser-toting fluffy bunny while singing "Talk to the Animals". Arguably the only guest star to out-ham the Muppets was Zero Mostel, whose right pointer finger on its own out-hams several of the Muppets.

Anachronic Order
 The Muppet Show / int_8b6e8d7
comment
Anachronic Order: Since there is nearly no continuity to keep track of from episode to episode, you'd think it would be impossible to get them out of order. Nevertheless, the DVDs have a few episodes with Scooter in it before the one in which he is hired. This is because the episodes were aired in a very different order from the one in which they were filmed; the DVD puts the episodes in order of production instead of when they were filmed (the production order is actually different from the taping order) or broadcast. There are two big examples of this: The first is the Jim Nabors episode, episode six, which acts as Scooter's introduction to the series... despite him having been in three episodes prior to this. The second big example is the Phyllis George episode, during which Scooter sings a song listing off every single guest to have been on the show... and he lists several whose episodes hadn't been aired yet (Dizzy Gillespie, Liza Minnelli, Anne Murray, Andy Williams), and most puzzlingly, he mentions Señor Wences, who wouldn't be on the show until the next season, and the picture they use isn't of Wences but of Charles Aznavour from behind.

Knife-Throwing Act: Leslie Uggams inadvertantly becomes part of one as Lew Zealand, Boomerang Fish Thrower gets carried away and starts throwing swordfish. The scene ends with Leslie surrounded by swordfish in a Knife Outline. Gonzo and Peter Sellers staged one in his dressing room, with Sellers naturally dressed as Inspector Clouseau. (Clouseau: "Fifteen seconds [to curtain]? I should live so long!") The Gladys Knight episode had a knife throwing act with Fozzie as the unwitting target. Unfortunately, the theatre roof was away at the repair shop, letting a thick fog and the knife thrower, who aimed with his hearing, was randomly throwing knives at the slightest sounds while everyone was ducking quietly for their lives.

Who's on First?
 The Muppet Show / int_9f8a12d7
comment
Who's on First?: When Teresa Brewer, who had a number one hit beginning "Put another nickel in / In the nickelodeon", guest-stars on the show, there's a bit that begins with Animal finding a jukebox and inserting a nickel: A version of this happens in "Veterinarian's Hospital" in the Andy Williams episode, when a question starts about Doctor Who and Witch Doctor. Piggy even lampshades how it's like Abbott and Costello. Fozzie and Kermit have agreed that upon Fozzie's saying "hear" at a certain point in his act, Kermit is to rush on-stage and yell, "Good grief, the comedian's a bear!!" Except that Fozzie naturally keeps saying "here" throughout his routine, causing Kermit to keep rushing out before his cue. The confusion escalates until Fozzie comes up with a different prompt.

Accentuate the Negative: In-Universe, Statler and Waldorf take great pleasure in mocking anything and everyone except the Special Guest, and even those are by no means immune (just ask Milton Berle).

The Backstage Sketch: The show frequently features sketches backstage where the "talent" proposes new acts, the guest stars bicker with Kermit over the things they're being asked to do, and zany things go on in the name of pushing the show forward. These are often intertwined to create a plotline.

Deadpan Snarker: Believe it or not, this was Kermit's original schtick. He's still got shades of it that pop up from time to time. Rizzo the Rat, after breaking out of his Voiceless role, quickly revealed himself to be one. The show's rendition of "The Bird on Nellie's Hat" ramps up the bird's snark, replacing the final "Well, he don't know Nellie like I do" with a simple "Oh brother."

Everyone Has Standards
 The Muppet Show / int_b4a6ae4c
comment
Everyone Has Standards: Fozzie is a comedian who constantly struggles for laughs. During the first season, he sometimes thought Scooter had poor taste in jokes, such as in their first meeting when Fozzie complained that Scooter kept giving him bad jokes (to which Kermit asks "how would you know?"), and in a later episode, Scooter talks Fozzie into being "the telephone pole bit", a classic, but after Fozzie finds out what the bit is, he only reluctantly does it.note Other characters have altering opinions on Scooter's sense of humor. In the first case, Fozzie tells one of Scooter's jokes to Kermit and the others to demonstrate his bad jokes, only they laugh at the joke. But when Kermit hears about them doing the telephone pole bit, it's clear he doesn't think it's a good bit either. Though Statler and Waldorf do say Fozzie had never been better, but only because he also had never been shorter.

He then pulls out a list of endangered species, which he begins to read from mockingly. When he notices that the American bald eagle is one of the animals on the list, he beats a hasty retreat muttering, "This list is now inoperative."

Demoted to Extra: Rowlf. As head-writer Jerry Juhl pointed out, Rowlf was mostly consigned to being used in musical numbers and skits, almost completely absent from backstage Character Development. It's not that they didn't like the character, it's that Jim was busy performing Kermit, yet didn't want Rowlf recast. As a result, ideas Juhl had for developing relationships between Rowlf and Fozzie, Rowlf and Piggy, etc., never came to fruition. In the Sex and Violence pilot, the show was hosted by Nigel. When The Muppet Show became a series, Nigel's role was that of the orchestra conductor, and while he was seen fairly often in all five seasons, on the show he only had dialogue in three episodes total, all from the first season. In the show's first season, George the Janitor was a prominent supporting character and appeared in nearly every episode. After the first season however, he was reduced to non-speaking background appearances and cameos in the opening sequences, with his role as the theater custodian being replaced by the much longer-lasting Beauregard. Hilda, the sweet, grandmotherly wardrobe mistress was resigned as to the background after the first season, as her performer Eren Ozker left the show.

Last Note Nightmare: Parodied on the second cast album (released in 1978). For context, Kermit agrees to Miss Piggy's demands to take her to dinner, then locks the Muppet Theater once he's sure everyone has left. Everyone that is, except Fozzie Bear who becomes horrified almost immediately at the prospect of being locked in. The album closes with a loop of Fozzie yelling "HELP!!!" ad nauseum—-as it's a locked groove except in the US version, which just fades out a few seconds afterwards.

Shoo Out the New Guy: Fleet Scribbler, an aggressive gossip reporter introduced in season 2. While the British press loved the character, the writers quickly tired of him and he was dropped after just a handful of appearances.

The Meaning of Life
 The Muppet Show / int_bf7030c4
comment
The Meaning of Life: A "Pigs in Space" skit features the Swinetrek approaching the edge of the Universe, beyond which lies The Meaning of Life. Unfortunately, it's interrupted by a Muppet News Flash to announce that they're close to discovering The Meaning of Life. When we return to the sketch, it's over, and the crew missed it as well (it was lunchtime, and apparently swill stroganoff is more important than the Meaning of Life). The narrator then reveals that he saw it, but when pressed further, he chants "I know something you don't know!"

Compliment Backfire: Newcomer Annie Sue Pig tells Miss Piggy of her lifelong admiration of her. "I've been a fan of yours ever since I was a little girl!" Pretty much everything Danny Kaye says to Piggy in his episode, including another go-round of "I've admired you for years and years". Eventually, this verges close to Passive-Aggressive Kombat territory. Sandy Duncan tells one ugly Muppet not to despair, because she's sure he's beautiful on the inside. The Muppet responds by pieing her.

Shout-Out: Occasional mentions of Sesame Street, aka "that cute little children's show with the puppets". Floyd Pepper is patterned after Sergeant Pepper. He also has pink hair, making him a Pink Floyd. Dr. Teeth is a dead-on impersonation of Dr. John. Animal was allegedly inspired by Keith Moon. Miss Piggy originally had the last name "Lee". Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphones is a big shout-out to Monty Python's "Mouse Organ", and in some ways is even more twisted, as unlike the mice, the Muppaphones were clearly sentient and expressed how much they hated being in a painful act.

Indecisive Parody: The show always walked the line between being a full-blown parody of variety shows and a unique example of one. Due to the whole "theater" format being something they were given as a mandate, they ultimately decided to play it like an Affectionate Parody of Old Vaudeville style entertainment, giving the series a timeless feel that's helped it to feel far less dated than the majority of other mid 70s-early 80s variety series.

For the gents, Raquel Welch appears wearing a very form-showing and revealing costume while singing the show's opening number. The Electric Mayhem encourage it in the cold open.

When Roger Miller guest stars, he sings a song about various kinds of hat, each of which is worn by one of the backup singers; there is a verse about a derby, and a corresponding English gentleman muppet in a Dashingly Dapper Derby.

Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: Marvin Suggs and his Muppaphone, little sentient balls of fluff that Marvin "plays" like a xylophone. At least one guest star, Lesley Ann Warren, finds it appalling, and more often than not Marvin gets his comeuppance, like when he plays "Witch Doctor" and a real witch doctor turns him into one of his Muppaphone creatures.

Friend to All Living Things: Several of the guests have musical numbers where they're in a forest and have a backing group of animals. Depending on the guest and the song, this may be played straight, or twisted in some way (as in the case of Leo Sayer, whose animal companions spend half the time singing backup and the other half trying to eat him).

The Show Must Go Wrong
 The Muppet Show / int_e3edc213
comment
The Show Must Go Wrong: A lot of the humor revolves around the some (if not all) of the sketches failing spectacularly. When Fozzie had to take over hosting duties when Kermit was out sick. Part of the theater got destroyed in one sketch, the audience almost left when nothing was on stage, two sketches ran during the same time, and Fozzie couldn't remember the guest star's name (it was Nancy Walker). During the first season, Gonzo couldn't get through a sketch without getting booed off the stage.

Glasses of Aging: In one U.K. short, there's an aged scientist working in a lab mixing chemicals, singing "If I Could Save Time In A Bottle" as he works. He keeps drinking the potions he's putting together, and aging backwards as he does so; one of the changes that happens as he de-ages is that he takes his glasses off.

When the gunslinger realises that the sheriff must be hiding in the somewhere nearby, Fozzie nervously denies that he's in the overnight cell, then locks the gunslinger in when he goes to check.

Crossover: Sesame Street's Ernie and Bert make a guest appearance in the Connie Stevens episode. Big Bird guest-stars in the Leslie Uggams episode. And at the climax of the Arabian Nights-themed Marty Feldman episode, most of the Sesame Street cast turns up for the finale as a pun on "Open Sesame!" In 1979, Kermit guest-hosted an episode of The Tonight Show, and several other Muppet Show characters appeared to lend assistance and promote The Muppet Movie. See it here.

Franchise Codifier: Although The Muppets had existed for two decades prior, it was The Muppet Show that would truly solidify and redefine it going forward. The show both introduced many new characters and redefined previously existing ones, incorporated a bevy of prominent guest stars, and introduced a distinct blend of zany humor and serious/heartfelt moments. All of this would become the template that later Muppets material would follow up to the present day.

 The Muppet Show / int_fb3576b2
comment
The Dog Bites Back: In several later episodes, the Muppets became more savvy to Piggy's violent temper, leading her karate chops to backfire onto her on several occasions. Not to mention Kermit, her most frequent victim, finally hitting Rage Breaking Point and firing her in the Loretta Swit episode.

Special Edition Title
 The Muppet Show / int_fc8bc8e
comment
Special Edition Title: The Loretta Lynn episode takes place at a railroad station instead of the theater, so the opening and closing were changed to go along with it. Though it was less "Special Edition" and more "Stylistic Suck", with off-key opening and closing themes with mangled lyrics—"this week's sort of railroad-stational"—and a (badly) hand-drawn Muppet Show sign. Several episodes have normal titles but specially recorded closing credits to reflect the events of the show. These include the Harry Belafonte and Spike Milligan episodes, where the final song continues over the credits; an episode where the band quits, leaving Rowlf to play the closing music on his own; the Roger Miller episode, where the band (along with nearly everybody else) gets turned into chickens; and the Mac Davis episode had Beaker cloned, so the episode ends with Beakers replacing all the band members for the end song, as well as replacing Statler and Waldorf's typical end comments.

The Lady's Favour: In the Pearl Bailey episode, the finale is a jousting scene with Floyd and Gonzo as the knights. Floyd gets a favour from Janice; Gonzo gets a favour from Camilla.

Prop Recycling
 The Muppet Show / int_fe3dfca8
comment
Gonzo originally was a rather pathetic nebbish and had a crush on Piggy. He soon gained a whole lot of confidence and a girlfriend in Camilla the chicken. This was reflected in his first-season puppet, which was recycled from a TV special, was a bit ratty-looking, and had a permanent frown on his face. It was rebuilt for the second season, and his base appearance was in place.

Cut Short
 The Muppet Show / int_ffa0483f
comment
Cut Short: Averted for the show itself. It only lasted 5 seasons, but Henson himself pulled the plug due to a combination of wanting to do movies, and feeling that they had taken the show as far as was reasonable, preferring to go out on a high note. Played straight with the DVD releases. The first three seasons were released one-by-one on DVD, but then abruptly stopped. There is still no word of the fourth or fifth season being released, over ten years later. However, in 2021 this was finally Averted with Disney bringing all 5 seasons to Disney+.

 The Muppet Show / int_ffb70786
comment
Abominable Auditorium: The Muppet Theater is often portrayed as as a Non-Functional venue, especially given the wacky hijinks of Gonzo, Lew Zealand, Crazy Harry, and others. At one point, J.P. Grosse refuses to have the place demolished, as he believes that it'll probably fall apart on its own sooner or later — only for the floor to collapse under him.
