Muppeturgy: A "The Muppet Show" Rewatch Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Bob Hope Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

We’ve lost all hope…but we’ve found Michal’s sister! Also some hillbilly ding dongs, the components of a horse, an unusually prescient Muppet Labs invention, and a whole lotta puns. Stop! Hey, what’s that sound? It’s our podcast episode about the Bob Hope episode of The Muppet Show! Quit loafing around and give it a listen. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/bob-hope

Petula Clark Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

When you're alone and life is making you lonely, you can always join the Mickey Moose Club and give your heart gladly to our Petula Clark episode! Will our rowboat sink or will the sun come out tomorrow? I’m tired already. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/petula-clark

Peter Sellers Feb 25, 2022

Show notes

We have questions about this episode. Mostly: Why? Peter Sellers famously said (to Kermit!) “You see, there is no me, I do not exist,” and it’s sort of fun to see him prove that by only appearing in character on The Muppet Show, we just wish those characters were less creepy and/or racist. When Kermit has a nervous breakdown in Muppet Labs, it’s easy to see why. Content warning: this episode contains discussions of brown-face makeup, an offensive word, and content warnings. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/peter-sellers

Jaye P. Morgan Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

We confess we didn’t know much about Jaye P. Morgan before (we definitely knew she was not a railroad heiress…definitely) but after watching this explosive episode we’re super into her! Come for the horny, chaotic Studio 54 energy, stay to hear us slander Morris dancers! Plus incredible hats, deeply weird birds, and Dr. Teeth bringing new meaning to The Gong Show. We know you won’t be really indifferent, give it a listen! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jaye-p-morgan

Julie Andrews Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

High on a hill was a lonely podcast…If you’ve ever listened to us before, you can safely assume we have positive feelings about Dame Julie Andrews. But have we loved this episode since it was a tadpole and we were a fish, or think it should be egregiously overlooked? Do we have beef with the live cow backstage, or will somebody dance to a happy tune? We have here a list of a few of our favorite things, so do (re mi) give it a listen, won’t you? Super! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/julie-andrews

Cleo Laine Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

We’re down a panelist but up a puppeteer for the Cleo Laine episode of The Muppet Show. Yay? How low can you go? If depressing Japanese death puppet narration isn’t low enough for you, perhaps we can interest you in an extra helping of colonialism? Does Fozzie’s mom have that swing in her first appearance or does she not mean a thing? Is it weird that Fozzie is in drag in an episode featuring a character who is also Fozzie in drag? And just what IS Link’s deal? Listen and find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/cleo-laine

Lou Rawls Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

Is Lou Rawls the one who’ll make us feel like groovy people, or did this episode have us saying “bye bye (blackbird)?” No need to be a pig, we will definitely say it all (Budweiser may or may not be involved) with our very special guest star, Tough Pigs’ Becca Petunia! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/lou-rawls

Elton John Jan 21, 2022

Show notes

Hello, Yellow Brick Road! Did this episode go breaking our hearts, or did it…rock our crocodiles? Okay, that got very tortured very quickly. We know you lead elaborate lives so we won’t keep you in suspense: we didn’t really feel the love tonight for this episode, which was both a surprise and a bummer because we, like the Muppets, are fans of Sir Elton John! Sorry (seems the be the hardest word), Elton! I guess that’s why they call it the blues. But we would never let the sun go down on our very special guest stars, Mark Blankenship and Sarah D. Bunting, who took time out of their busy schedule talking about songs with each other to talk about songs and puppets with us! https://muppeturgy.com/elton-john

Rudolf Nureyev Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Baby, it’s problematic outside…and we love it? Sam may not be happy about Rudolf Nureyev’s decision to mostly avoid classical ballet on The Muppet Show, but we think it makes him an all-time great guest…if maybe not an all-time great actor. Will he tap dance his way into your heart or is something missing? Put on your tux and listen to our latest episode! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/rudolf-nureyev

Bernadette Peters Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

If you’ve listened to our podcast even a little bit, it doesn’t take a little one step two step three step of logic to know that we’re pretty big Bernadette Peters fans. So did just four people believe in her Muppet Show episode? Grab some Apple Jack and your littlest frog and listen to find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/bernadette-peters
