A Muppet Show rewatch podcast
Museum of the Moving Image has some fantastic events planned for Jim Henson's birthday in September. Some of your favorite Muppeturgy hosts (and some previous guest stars from the podcast) will be at the Walking Tour with Heather Henson and the subsequent presentation from Henson archivist Karen Falk. Will we see you there?
Join Heather Henson, Joe Hennes (Tough Pigs), and friends to celebrate Jim Henson's birthday with a musical walking tour through Jim and Jane's New York City.
New episode! Diana Ross
When Diana Ross smiles at us, we go to Rio! We’re holding up little cards to rate this episode — and the whole season — this week. Did season 4 give us a love hangover, or leave us deep in our (whoa whoa whoa) feelings? We’re taking a post-season break so this will be the last time we saw hi...
New episode! Alan Arkin with our very special guest star Chris Feil!
We learned a lot about Alan Arkin — and ourselves — this week, as very special guest star Chris Feil joinsed us to talk Jekyll & Hyde, potentially racist bunnies, devils going down to Georgia and letting people go, and Fozzie’s relationship to rhythm. Plus rearranging fat jokes on

New episode! Andy Williams
Where do we begin? Ideally not here but it’s what we’ve got. This is a weird one, where Andy Williams’ face is waxier than the Muppet cheese and his joke delivery is cheesier than…also the Muppet cheese. It’s also our second week in a row with a Cronenbergian nightmare. But there’s also ...
New episode! Doug Henning
Do you believe in magic? How about poofy 70s hair and giant mustaches? Sparkly pink overalls? Cronenbergian nightmares? Rabbis? You will after the Doug Henning episode! The master of illusion (and a question mark) joins the Muppets for some tricks and some schtick, and Fozzie tries to get in on the
If for some reason you find yourself wishing you could listen to Muppeturgy on YouTube, you're in luck: now you can! https://youtu.be/bJI-doS98uQ?si=BK1UZcFNjL-DirQH
New episode! Carol Channing
Ay ay ay it’s the Carol Channing episode! It will have you asking why it’s so cold in here, can a pig really have big feet (or wear high heels), if diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, and when did I have dead fish? Say hello, Dolly, and don’t forget to check out the website to lay thos...
Liberace, 1954
New episode! Lynda Carter
Hey y’all, prepare yourselves for the Lynda Carter episode of The Muppet Show ! It has everything! Wonder Women, Wonder Pigs, Rubberband Men, giant chickens, cannibal tiki idols, backwards alligators, Whiffenpoofs in sheep’s clothing, failed skiffle outfits, and orange colored skies. Plus digres...
New episode! Christopher Reeve
It’s a bird…it’s a plane…it’s the Christopher Reeve episode of The Muppet Show ! WATCH his effortless charm! HEAR our hosts talk about Reeve-inspired sexual awakenings…some of them just this week! BRUSH up your Shakespeare! FLY east of the sun and west of the moon! TURN BACK TIME…but n...
Adam visited our friends Ryan and Anthony on the Movin' Right Along podcast to discuss a little bit of Muppet Treasure Island! Listen at ToughPigs.com or in your favorite podcast app.
Pirates attack the inn and it's pure chaos.
New episode! Mark Hamill &The Stars of Star Wars, featuring our own very special guest star, Todd Brian Backus!
It is a dark time for Muppeturgy. Mid episodes like Anne Murray, Phyllis George, and the sinister Jonathan Winters have taken a toll on the brave hosts. During the battle, Disney+ managed to serve up a not-so-secret episode starring Mark Hamill and the stars of Star Wars, a cast with enough charm t
New episode! Jonathan Winters, featuring our very special guest star Daniel M. Lavery!
Very special guest star Danny Lavery joins us to discuss a truly cursed episode of The Muppet Show , plus Mork & Mindy , racist tropes, surprise heterosexuality in the monoculture, and lions, tigers and aliens (oh my!)
It's World Puppetry Day! Celebrate with puppeteers and supporters around the world tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern, in this online event hosted by UNIMA-USA and Puppeteers of America! (Link in first comment.)
New episode! Amy Spalding joins us to discuss Anne Murray’s appearance on The Muppet Show.
We could blame Canada for this episode, but that would suggest they did something wrong, rather than give us the delightful Anne Murray (a Canadian working in the American idiom). Though a “middle of the middle” episode may suit the beigeness of Ms. Murray’s catalog a little too well, she’s ...
New episode! Phyllis George, featuring our own very special guest star, Joe Reid!
And the winner is…Phyllis George! For the rest of us it’s a tie at best. We’re joined by Joe Reid to talk award shows, sportscasting, Miss America, and when a clip show isn’t a clip show.
New episode! Liza Minnelli, featuring our own very special guest star, Matt Baume!
We’ve made no secret about being Liza Minnelli fans and now the episode is finally here! Were we right to look forward to it all these weeks, or will we drink ourselves half blind over losing our love? It’s a quiet thing, but don’t worry, everything’s coming up roses and it’s gonna be a gr...
New episode! Dizzy Gillespie
It’s a jazzy good time of an episode, despite a guest star who appeared to only show up for half of it. But he has fun and so did we! We’ll talk about extremely glamorous fish, baffling Arabian numbers, bullfrog’s cheeks (that’s a myth! a myth!), the canonically important appearance of Waldo...
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Muppet Valentine Show with us!
The Muppets did a weird and sort of formless pilot episode so we did too! While we wait for the actual Muppet Show to drop on Disney+, here’s a podcast episode about The Muppet Valentine Show , a 1974 special that served as a sort of backdoor pilot for The Muppet Show .
Everything is 35% off at TeePublic, including all the Muppeturgy merch your little heart could desire.
Shop t-shirts, phone cases, hoodies, art prints, notebooks and mugs created by independent artists from around the globe.
New episode! Lola Falana
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl...no, wait, that’s not right. I mean it is technically right but...you know what I mean. It’s Lola Falana! She does some disco! Chickens cluck Meredith Wilson and Rodgers & Hammerstein! Gonzo is sad because he’s leaving the show! In some ways it feels ...
Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern for the 3rd Annual Muppetwt Awards! The Muppeturgy gang is nominated in a bunch of categories, and Adam & David will be presenting a couple as well. It's always a fun time, whether you are deeply involved in Muppet online fandom or, say, just a casual listener of one The Muppet Show rewatch podcast.
New episode! Kenny Rogers
The oil crisis invades the Muppet Theater! It’s…not great! But Kenny Rogers is pretty great. (And is not Kenny Loggins, in case you were confused about that, which is crazy why would anyone be confused about that?) He knows when to hold ‘em, knows when to fold ‘em, knows when to walk away, a...
New episode! John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together
It’s a Very Muppeturgy Chrismukah! To celebrate the Winter Solstice, we muddle through this legendary — but definitely not timeless — 1979 network television special. Join us for a journey the uncanny valley of puppets whose faces don’t move and the uncannier valley of John Denver whose face...

Look, we didn’t love Peter Ustinov on The Muppet Show, but we can all get behind his performance in Logan’s Run.
We haven’t yet discussed The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence on our podcast, but this week’s episode does include a discussion of Sax and Violence. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/connie-stevens-and-ernie-bert/id1550850047?i=1000511700643
