💝 Love and dynamite are in the air as I introduce 2 guests to an early pilot of what would eventually become “The Muppet Show,” guest-starring a pregnant Mia Farrow. 🎙️ Joey O. and Brian Arnold drop by as we fall head over heels for “The Muppets Valentine Show,” a 1974 TV special that misinformed me about where babies come from. 📺 You can find “The Muppets Valentine Show” on YouTube. **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: “The Muppets Valentine Show” on Muppet Wiki. Jim Henson’s Red Book entry about getting this pilot green-lit by some guy at ABC named “Mike” Eisner. We quickly touch on Crazy Harry’s original incarnation as “Crazy Donald” and then immediately drop it. Miss Mousey. George the Janitor is simultaneously UHF’s Stanley Spadowski and WWE’s Perry Saturn. George and Mildred At the Dance. Droop in the “Cosby Show” episode, “Cliff’s Nightmare.” The first appearance of Kermit the Frog riding a bicycle. “You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.” “Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms” and the Looney Tunes musical bomb gag.
