EP15 Hal Linden Jan 11, 1981

Statler and Waldorf get their chance to do a better show than Kermit--they play host, while Kermit and Fozzie heckle from the balcony.

EP16 Wally Boag Jan 18, 1981

EP17 Debbie Harry Jan 25, 1981

Robin's Frog Scout troop visits the show, getting in everyone's way backstage. They ask Debbie for help earning their punk merit badges, and she teaches them how to do the pogo. When Gonzo cancels his act, the Frog Scouts get their chance to do a performance of close-order drills.

EP18 Johnny Cash Feb 01, 1981

In honor of Johnny Cash's appearance, the show is simulcast over country radio station WHOG, and the radio broadcast threatens to overwhelm the actual show. The head of WHOG, Big Tiny Tall Saddle, insists on making all the decisions. He refuses to let Rowlf go on, and instead schedules Grampaw McGuire and his whistling bricks. Kermit tries to run his own show, but Big Tiny is one of the toughest men alive -- when he's annoyed, he has a habit of wrapping microphone stands around people's necks. Fozzie is replaced by Wally Whoopie, a stand-up comedian who makes fun of the bear -- which inspires Kermit to stand up for his friend, and his show.

EP19 Carol Burnett Feb 08, 1981

There's no show today, almost; the theater is turned into a dance marathon hosted by Gonzo.

EP20 Buddy Rich Feb 15, 1981

Thanks to Gonzo's refrigerated mildew collection, the power goes out in the theater, and Beauregard almost electrocutes himself trying to fix it. Half of the acts have to perform in the dark, until Dr. Bunsen Honeydew hooks up a generator that runs on Beaker-power. Beaker runs on a huge wheel to generate power, and when he gets tired, Bunsen helps to motivate him by releasing a hungry tiger onto the wheel.

EP21 Paul Simon Feb 22, 1981

Paul inspires Gonzo to be a songwriter. Unfortunately, Gonzo writes songs like "For You": "For youuu... I'd wash my hair with stinky glue, I'd fry my legs and eat them too, I'd put a spider in my shoe -- for yoouuuu!" Paul is stunned. Later, Gonzo's chickens run off with Paul, so Gonzo develops a new obsession -- asparagus. But at the end of the episode both the chickens and the asparagus run away when Paul asks for chicken with a side of asparagus.

EP22 Chris Langham Mar 01, 1981

A messenger brings a message from the scheduled guest star -- Benny Brillstein, the Yiddish yodeler. Benny refuses to be on the show, so Kermit asks Chris, the messenger boy, to be the guest. Chris knows a joke, so Kermit introduces him as a comedian.

EP23 Mac Davis Mar 08, 1981

Beaker tests Muppet Labs' new copier machine, ultimately falling into it and making seven copies of himself. The multiple Beakers gang up on Bunsen, and the doctor is forced to wear a disguise and hide from his assistants.

Reviews

TheLittleSongbird I love the Muppets with a passion, they were part of my childhood. And like my childhood I do miss it. It is ingenious, from the humour, the songs and the characters it is so much fun. The puppetry is first rate, and the backstage parts are exceedingly entertaining. The songs are simple, easy to remember and easy to sing along to without being repetitive. There are so many classic Muppet moments- Kermit singing It's Not Easy being Green, Leo Sayer, Floyd Pepper, John Cleese, the cannonball stunt, the hospital saga, Waldorf and Statler and their heckling, the ballroom dancing and Julie Andrews singing with the goat- the latter was priceless! I love every single one of the Muppets, Kermit with his charm, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Swedish Chef, Floyd Pepper, Statler, Waldorf, Fozzie and Dr Teeth, and Jim Henson, Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt and Steve Whitmere deserve nothing but praise for bringing these timeless characters to life. Overall, the Muppets are the epitome of my childhood, I shall never forget them and I shall never stop loving them. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Bradley Baum I cannot fault it in any way. It gets a maximum ten out of ten from me. I am laughing at it just as much now (I'm watching the first series on DVD at the moment and I will buy the other series as and when I can) as I did when I were a child! Fabulous! The special guests were plentiful, varied, and always 'A' list for the time (some still are but a lot of them have now very sadly passed away and they and their talents will always be very greatly and very sorely missed) and always willing to send themselves up in a big way. Sure the singers all sang and the actors all acted etc. in the way the pieces were supposed to be done but, you see, it wasn't what they were singing/saying that sent them up but what was going on around them with the puppets, the scenery their clothes etc. they had put on for their sections. Spike Milligan, John Cleese, Steve Martin, Bob Hope, Harry Bellafonte, Shirly Bassy, Andy Williams, Roger Moore, Mark Hammil, Sylvester Stallone, Gene Kelly, Peter Ustinov, Liberace, Elton John, Alice cooper, Ethel Merman, Glenda Jackson, Liza Minelli, Juliette Prowse, Twiggy, are just a few of the many famous people that appeared on The Muppet Show and they were all more than happy to join in the general mayhem and ludicrousness in the show.The jokes are wonderful and have not lost their impact or become stale over time. Every line and every sketch is as fresh now as it was all those years ago when the programme first aired and could (no, make that would) easily hold up in today's world with today's families if they were to be repeated in all their glory. And if the children of today haven't heard of some of the stars well that wouldn't make any difference at all because you don't have to have heard of a star to enjoy watching them doing what it is that they do best and have the puppets take the mickey out of it! Muppets Tonight was the last time they all got together for at least one series and I loved it as much as I love this and long for it to happen again! OK so the script may not have been as sharp in Muppets Tonight, But I love anything and everything to do with them (and the fact that they are now owned by Disney is just too fantastic for words as I ADORE most things by Disney and Love the rest!)! I have got some of the programmes on video tape and I am now looking to replace them with dvds which (apart from the complete first series) don't appear to be around at the moment. Not the last time I looked anyway which could have been the wrong place(s) if they have been released at all. I have since found out they are yet to be released so I'll be buying them as and when they are! Or at the very least, as and when I can afford them!Easily above 10/10!

movieman_kev Kermit the frog, Fronzie bear, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the Muppet's take part in this musical variety show despite constant heckling from two audience members from the balcony. This show didn't exactly hit the ground running and had trouble getting guest star in the beginning, so Season 1 turns out to be a mixed bag indeed. In fact the only real lasting big stars are Vincent Price (to pour salt in the wound, his "You've Got A Friend", was cut.from the DVD), Ben Vereen, and Florence Henderson. Juliet Prowse? Come on now. Ruth Buzzi??!!? get outta here. The first season isn't a total loss some skits are very good & seeing the original pilot on the DVD set is a trip and a half. It's just the show could and WOULD get better starting with the second season even.My Season 1 grade: C+ Season 1 DVD Extras: Muppet Morsels (Pop-up Trivia Track; Original pitch reel; Promo gag reel; the original Pilot; Teaser for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", and Trailers for "Valiant", "the Muppets Wizard of Oz", "Kermit's 50th Anniversary", "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Old Yeller: Special Addition", "Aliens of the Deep", and "According to Jim"

Christopher Martin (CMartin) As a true fan of Muppets in all their incarnations, I have been waiting for this DVD set.The Muppet Show has to be one of the best programs produced. Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo and the gang will always make me laugh. Considering I was only 6 when the show originally aired, I'm finally able to see all the episodes in their original broadcast order. And just being able to hear all the songs and comedy bits is awesome. I'm especially looking forward to hearing all of the "Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem" songs.The DVD set isn't loaded with extras, but it's got a "Fact Track" which has a lot of great info, although the graphic overlay sometimes interferes with the action and comedy on the screen (similar to the Back To The Future fact tracks). But the basic fact you get 24 episodes is well worth the money you spend on it (I got it for my birthday, although it retails at Wal-Mart for about 30 bucks), and I can't wait for the other seasons to come out on DVD (along with the season of "Fraggle Rock") If you are a Muppet Fan, or at least a Kermit fan, you owe it to yourself to pick up this set. The variety show is pretty much a dead art form, but the Muppet Show is a classic example of how it should be done.
