Hmmm if only there were a premise for what The Muppet Show could be like… It would be great if there were just like 121 examples of how to do a Muppet Show. Dang. That’s a toughie.

The Muppet Show special was a success because it was just The Muppet Show again. There were new skits and some modern elements here and there, but overall it was "The Muppet Show." Why does Disney think they need to fix something that isn't broken. deadline.com/2026/09/the-...

50 years ago today it was time to play the music, it was time to light the lights. Happy birthday to the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational MUPPET SHOW!

There have been a lot of celebrity deaths recently with strong connections to the Muppets, but not all of them are worth celebrating. How do we choose to approach our responsibility as fans? www.toughpigs.com/fandom-and-d...

We're saddened to learn that political activist and feminist icon Gloria Steinem has passed away. We're remembering her for the time she helped honor Miss Piggy at a feminist event in 2015. www.toughpigs.com/gloria-stein...

Next time on the podcast, we'll be discussing some things we were never meant to see. But you can see them right here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Yes, Muppet Treasure Island is his best Muppet project, but it’s worth taking some time to go appreciate Tim Curry’s narration in A Sesame Street Christmas Carol youtu.be/GfmiwiaAzLc?...

We are devastated to also report that Tim Curry has passed at age 80. www.toughpigs.com/tim-curry/

Jim Henson inventing Rowlf:

How do you bring back Rosie O’Donnell and not have Elmo as a guest?

Okay, Disney, how many $40,000 Muppets do we need to buy to fund a new season of The Muppet Show?

Is this Muppet real, a shared collective hallucination, or an evil spirit taking over the world?

Next time on the podcast, we'll be discussing the 1990 Jim Henson Productions film, The Witches! You can find the film on Blu-ray, DVD, or as a digital rental in many many places. We also watched Jim talking about the behind-the-scenes of the film here: youtu.be/WYllRSyJllo?...

I want to build an accurately-scaled Sesame Street diorama for my NECA figures but I'm afraid it's going to have to be at least 2 feet wide...
