Episode list

When Gene Kelly was first booked for the show he said to the writers that he didn't just want to do 'Singin' in the Rain'. The writers turned Gene's request into a running gag for the show, and much to Kermit's dismay, Gene Kelly insists on just passively watching the Muppets do their "thing" from the wings of the stage. But of course, the Muppets get their way in the end, and Gene performs a few numbers while backstage with Kermit and the gang, including the song 'Singin' in the Rain'.

The Muppets decide to do something "entirely different" on their show and feature puppets.

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.

Kermit is plagued by a night of backstage crises. A group of skiers get hurt during the opening number, and after Kermit says that the theater will cover their medical costs, Scooter forgets to cash the check. The Teeterini Family are angry that their teeter board won't fit on the stage. The Swedish Chef prepares spring chicken, and the bouncing chicken drives Kermit crazy. And let's not even talk about the blindfolded, hang-gliding yodelers.

The entire roof of the Muppet Theater has to be taken to the shop for repairs, exposing the show to all sorts of inclement weather.

The Muppets put on an Arabian Nights themed show with Marty Feldman as Scheherazade.

With the intended guest star declining to appear, a messenger boy, Chris Langham, is hastily recruited to substitute.

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.

Thanks to Gonzo, the Muppet Theater's electrical system is damaged, throwing the show into continual power failures.
