New episode! Shirley Bassey – with our own very special guest star, David Beukema!

We’ve got our goldfingers (WAH WAH WAH WAH WAAAAAHHH) all over the Shirley Bassey episode this week, with very special guest star David Beukema!

New episode! Loretta Swit – featuring our own very special guest star Peter Savieri!

If you watched MASH alda time like we did as kids, you’ll love the Loretta Swit episode! It made the earth move under our feet even though we were side by side (by side) and there ain’t nobody here but us chickens when Kermit tried to fire Piggy. And what would we do without our guest star and f...

Leave it to us to drop an episode about the end of the world 2 days after Election Day. But don't worry!

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! 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

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...
