Episodes
-
Phantom of the Paradise
The Phaaaaaaaaantom of the Paradise is here inside…The Portrait of Dorian Gray? Sure, why not? Muppet Show guest star and Christie’s president Paul Williams stars and composes the most bag of cocainey movie yet in the bag of cocaine season. With our very special guest star, Amy Spalding!...
-
The Apple
Welcome to our new season, all about movies that appear to have been greenlit by a bag of cocaine! We’ve mentioned a lot of these in passing before but now we’re taking a deep dive into the shallow end, starting with The Apple, one of the most WTF films ever made! Is it a cautionary tale about…

Bicentennial Bonanza!
It’s America’s 250th birthday! We’d sing it a song (it took two people to write it!) but we’re…ambivalent at best. So instead we’re looking back 50 years to when patriotism felt less fraught (but not as much as you might think!), the centennial was bi, and the culture was mono. We watched an...
-
Star Wars Holiday Special Commercials
Remember back when we did the Star Wars Holiday Special and were sad it didn’t include the commercials? Well thanks to two lovely listeners who shared that we are bad at searching YouTube, we can now be completists and talk about the commercials? Was that a good idea? Is there a government...
-
[The] Cher [Show]
If we could turn back time, we’d somehow insist that Cher be a guest on The Muppet Show. But we got you (babe) the next best thing: The Muppets being guests on Cher’s show. Do you believe in life after love? What about frogs who are horny for the bicentennial? Will love keep Cher and Sweetums…

The B.B. Beegle Show (Kermitment Krossover)
Our friends at Kermitment said they wanted to watch some non-Henson stuff and we didn’t want to suffer alone, so we all decided it was time for a crossover episode!!! Join us as we explore the tedious nightmare that is The B.B. Beegle Show, a failed pilot for a Hanna-Barbera puppet-based variety...
-
Out To Sea
Won’t you let us take you on a sea cruise with multiple Muppet Show guest stars, some grumpy old men, Broadway and Hollywood legends, a Golden Girl, and a famous singing android? Break out all five of your mambos and get ready to sway with us as we head out to sea! (When we recorded this, Out To...
-
Dick Cavett Meets ABBA
Muppeturgy — here we go again! I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey. To Summer Night City, where you won’t get two for the price of one but you will get a bonus co-host, our very special guest star Amy Spalding! Shine your super trouper on and on and on us and we’ll gimme…

Sabrina Carpenter (The Muppet Show Special)
It’s The Mup-pet Show! No, really! It’s back! For one episode, at least. Can four fans who’ve been marinating in the original show for nearly 5 years be objective about “new” performers and writers? Can the modern, corporate Muppets capture the organic magic of the shaggier original? Will Sabrina...
-
Sandy in Disneyland
Since it came up way back in season one, Sandy in Disneyland might be the very first thing we ever threatened to add to The List. Well, here we are! You’re welcome? Join us and very special guest star David Beukema as we sing and dance through the happiest place on earth with Sandy, Ruth Buzzi,...

The Muppets Go To The Movies
Welcome to Phase 2 of Muppeturgy! We’re following paths and pulling threads that came up during our coverage of The Muppet Show to bring you more 70s and 80s variety show nonsense. It’s going to take us to some places! (What about them?) We started off close to home and went to the movies with…
more -
A Very Special Muppet Show Finale
They said it couldn’t be done but we did it. We finished The Muppet Show! We thought we’d take some time to process our feelings and answer your questions. Thank you all for listening to this very silly thing for all these years! And: We’re not done! We’ll be back in your feeds very soon with...
-
Roger Moore
For your eyes only, it’s a view to the Roger Moore episode of The Muppet Show! It’s also the last episode of The Muppet Show! Listen to find out if Muppeturgy will live and let or die another day! (Yes we know that last one isn’t Moore, leave us alone. Octopussy.) Anyway join us on a slow boat to...
-
Linda Ronstadt
Don’t let our second to last Muppet Show episode blow by you! Shoop shoop that Play button and you’ll be so happy to hear us talk about the great Linda Ronstadt, rhythmic frogs, a cat who came back (with multiple tunes), fan dancers, old dreams, and of course a trunk full of fungus. All with our...
-
Buddy Rich
We’re transporting ourselves with delight to dance in the dark, which leads to some banging around with Buddy Rich. Beau may get electrocuted but it’s good day sunshine for the rest of us, so drumstick around and listen! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/buddy-rich
-
Johnny Cash
The Muppet Show is going country (again) and live on the radio (somehow). We’re going to Jackson but that doesn’t answer any of our questions about where the theatre is…though the prominently displayed Confederate Flag suggests it might be somewhere south of Pittsburgh. But hey you can do worse...
-
Wally Boag
It’s an old-fashioned vaudeville show! With less offensive material but also so, so many teeth. Get Pecos Bill to squeeze us and we might be able to hit the high note in Danny Boy. With our very special guest star, Taylor Cole! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/wally-boag
-
Chris Langham
This is a weird one, so we’re just going to lay it out here without getting cutesy about it. Chris Langham was a writer on The Muppet Show, and he filled in at the last minute when the scheduled guest star set himself on fire (really!). Later, he was also a convicted sex offender, which is why…
more -
Marty Feldman
It’s gonna be a hot time in the old town tonight ‘cause we’re bugging out about the Marty Feldman episode of The Muppet Show! Open Sesame and welcome our guest J.D. Hansel! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/marty-feldman
-
Hal Linden
Statler and Waldorf are taking over the show! Not our show, we’ve got grumpy criticism covered already. We also put the bomp in the bomp bomp bomp and go deep on sauerkraut, lands that may or may not be your land or my land, and of course Hal Linden and Barney Miller. Oh and BALLS!...
-
Gladys Knight
Alley-oop! This episode is a real pip! Join us any time in the night and day to board the Friendship Train (to Georgia?) as we blow the roof off the Gladys Knight episode. We heard it through the grapevine that we even have a very special guest, Becca Petunia!...
-
Carol Burnett
Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa! We were made for dancing about how much we love Carol Burnett and this episode! Watch what happens when we discuss with our very special guest star Jen Tullock. New merch: You Promised Me A Variety Show! Text only version https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/carol-burnett
-
Mac Davis
We’re almost done so if you’re still listening you must be hooked on us. Sorry, it’s hard to be humble about the Mac Davis episode of Muppeturgy, we think it’s pretty eefing good. Maybe that’s just the multitude of Beakers talking, or the mimeograph fumes. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/mac-davis
-
Tony Randall
When Tony Randall accidentally turns Miss Piggy to stone, is it horrific or delightful? Why not both? She and Tony Randall definitely make an odd couple! https://muppeturgy.con/episodes/tony-randall
-
Melissa Manchester
Raindrops on roses and girls on high wires, tumbling skiers and teeterboard fliers, bizarre flamenco AND CREEPY-ASS CLOWNS, these are a few of our favorite things! You’ll be crying out loud if you don’t listen to our Melissa Manchester episode (but don’t run off with the circus about it, that…
more -
Paul Simon
There are fifty ways to love your lever and we will get into…some of them. We’ll also head to the renaissance fair for herbs and pie, drive some babies, and call some people Al whether they like it or not. Most importantly, we’ll talk about the Paul Simon episode of The Muppet Show with our very...
-
Jean-Pierre Rampal
We’re flouting convention this week to talk about Jean-Pierre Rampal with very special guest star Tara Ariano! Brush up your French and your flute and join us! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jean-pierre-rampal
-
Debbie Harry
One way or another we’re gonna scout out the Debbie Harry episode of The Muppet Show with our very special guest star, Louie Pearlman! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/debbie-harry
-
Señor Wences (and Bruce Schwartz)
If you wanna hear us do our thing, pull our string! If ‘s-all right with you, we’re here to talk about the old-school ventriloquism of Señor Wences (and the even older school bunraku of Bruce Schwartz). The Muppets are all in on the action, putting on a puppet show of their own (nobody tell them)...
-
Glenda Jackson
Ahoy there! Yo ho ho! Shiver me timbers! Uh…pieces of eight! It’s a pirate-themed episode, 15 years before Muppet Treasure Island, starring another British legend, Glenda Jackson! And our own very special guest star, Movin’ Right Along’s Anthony Strand! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/glenda-jackson
-
Brooke Shields
We go down several rabbit holes as we discuss the Brooke Shields and the Muppets’ production of Alice in Wonderland. But then, we do that every episode! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/brooke-shields
-
James Coburn
Stories matter…which is why we’re a little confused that The Muppet Show is telling this one. But we’re here to talk about the good (Animal trying to meditate, percussive octopodes), the bad (overly sexualized birds), and the ugly (welcome back, overt racism!). (James Coburn wasn’t in The Good…
more -
Shirley Bassey
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! Does the Barnyard Boogie turn into gold, or cottage cheese? What are the physics of these Koozebanians? Does it really rain pennies from heaven? How DO...
-
Joan Baez
Will the circle be unbroken on the Joan Baez episode, or will we sing an honest lullaby about accents and other questionable choices? You’ll be smarter than the critters if you listen and find out! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/joan-baez Support Christie's album! https://muppeturgy.com/kickstarter
-
Loretta Swit
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...
-
Gene Kelly
Leave it to us to drop an episode about the end of the world 2 days after Election Day. But don't worry! When the seven of lumps is in the ascendency with the beginning of the drowning refrigerator, it means Muppeturgy is back for season 5! We're not here to talk about politics (well, Ronald…
more -
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 him for…
more -
Alan Arkin
We learned a lot about Alan Arkin — and ourselves — this week, as very special guest star Chris Feil joined 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 the Titanic....
-
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 a puppy,...
-
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…
more -
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 those...
-
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...
-
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 not with...
-
Mark Hamill & The Stars of Star Wars
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...
-
Jonathan Winters
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!) https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/jonathan-winters
-
Anne Murray
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 a…
more -
Phyllis George
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. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/phyllis-george
-
Liza Minnelli
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 great…
more -
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 Waldorf’s...
