Rizzo and the other rats bother Kermit for a spot on the show, so Kermit asks Beauregard to "take care of them." Of course, Bo takes that literally, and treats them as guests. The rats make Beau their president, and manipulate him into giving them food. The rats eventually become so bold that they decide to take over the show. Kermit says Beau has to kick them out, or he goes with them. Beau chooses to stick with his new rat friends, until Miss Piggy enlightens him.

The show ends with a musical battle at sea, with Gonzo and a crew of chickens fighting to save Kermit and the theater.

EP14 Gene Kelly Jan 04, 1981

Gene is under the impression that he's a "guest" -- that is, he's going to sit and watch, but not perform onstage. Frantic, Kermit tricks him into performing by asking him to give him a dance lesson on-stage. Kermit plans a surprise closing number, "Singin' in the Rain," Gene refuses, saying that he doesn't think he'll ever sing the song as good as he did in the movie, but he does eventually sing it backstage. Meanwhile, Scooter uses his Tarot cards to predict that the world is coming to an end. Beauregard believes him, and tries to convince the rest of the cast the apocalypse is near.

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. Unfortunately, Statler and Waldorf's acts don't turn out exactly as they plan. The Berlin National Opera Company cancels and are replaced by the Salzburg Sauerkraut Singers. Hal's Fourth of July number is invaded by Gonzo on a sleigh singing Christmas songs. Finally, Statler and Waldorf admit that the show is harder to put together than it looks and happily go back to complaining from the balcony.

EP16 Wally Boag Jan 18, 1981

In honor of vaudeville-influenced guest star Wally Boag, the Muppets salute vaudeville, with a balloon animal act, a bagpipe player and a hypnotist. Wally performs acts he made famous at the Golden Horseshoe Revue at Disneyland, including the Pecos Bill teeth-spitting sketch.

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.

Kermit borrows fifty million dollars worth of gold for Shirley's closing number, "Goldfinger". Security guard Bruno is suspicious that Kermit wants to steal the gold, but keeping an eye on the frog makes him overlook a band of pig thieves, who steal all the gold as Shirley sings.

Reviews

studioAT Though perhaps better known these days for their big screen outings this is where it all began for The Muppets in this much loved show.The fact that the guest stars interact so beautifully with the Muppets themselves is what makes the show work, and it's lovely to see that each Muppet character brings something different to the show within a show.Jim Henson was a genius, and this show is a testament to his creations.

Yulia Lukas The Muppet Show is maybe the best family show ever made, it is all the way back from the 70s but I discovered it when I was growing up (well my mom introduced it to me) and it was just awesome, I loved it. I still remember laughing my head off at Fozzie and Beaker and The Swedish Chef and pretty much all the other great characters Jim Henson put together. The man must have been a genius because I still love it today and my mom and I will pass it on to the next generation of family. The movies were also very good (OK so a few missteps but over all they're still good) and the new movie reboot was great too, I hope they can keep it up and make these movies (and maybe even bring back the TV show) for generations to come!

ShelbyTMItchell Once you are a Muppet Fan you are always won. As kids now as adults. As you have to love Muppets. Those that don't like Muppets, well what happened to your childhood? You have favorites like Kermit and Miss Piggy of course! As well as Fozzy the Bear, Rolf the Dog, Scooter, and the Swedish chef among the others in the cast.With a guest host each week. As the guest host would have to play the straight man to the whole variety of the craziness of the late Jim Henson's muppets.Still you have to be a kid at heart to love the Muppets and to really invite them not just into your homes but into your lives as well. Once a Muppet Fan, ALWAYS one!

Dallas McGowan I grew up watching this show, and now am happy to say I can show my kids.(they love it too, & I've even got my 3 year old singing "Mahnahmahnah") I remember being very excited when it was time for it to come on, and, my mom was happy as well, because she KNEW I was going to behave, or miss out. *chuckle* It was something the entire family could enjoy together, regardless of age.It doesn't even matter that now the sets, costumes, and dialog are all a bit dated- they're STILL hysterical, still relevant, and just as entertaining as they were originally. I wish there was MORE programming like this, instead of todays pap & tripe. :-( Dear departed Mr. Henson- you created a masterpiece, it's pure genius, even to this day. We miss you & love you very much! -Dallas
