Sabrina Carpenter (The Muppet Show Special)

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 gimme gimme a man (Dick Cavett) awkwardly interviewing one of our favorite bands (ABBA) after (probably not actually) midnight. Knowing me, knowing you, knowing us, it’s going to go to some weird places, and mamma mia will we talk about musicals! Thank you for the music! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/abba-dick

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 Carpenter release our inner manchild or leave us floating like islands in the stream? Would it be enough to just have Gonzo yelling the names of Best Supporting Actress Oscar winners? (We’ll give you that one now: Yes.) Watch the new special now and then listen as we roll out our new old formula, Muppeturgy Classic! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/sabrina-carpenter(Photo credit: Disney/Mitch Haaseth)

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, John Davidson, Lorne Greene, Ted Knight, Loggins & Messina, Ernest Borgnine, Doc Severinsen, and The Jackson Five. It’ll make you feel good all over! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/sandy-in-disneyland

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 The Muppets and it was…kind of exhausting, honestly. But if you’re a fan of Muppets and Mad Magazine and Swedish art films, this special might be for you! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/movies

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 Muppeturgy: Phase 2. So stay subscribed and follow us on social media and all that good stuff. https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/finale

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 China for pies, spies, a village full of viking people and Frank Oz crammed under a couch! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/roger-moore

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 very special guest star, Christie’s Mom! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/linda-ronstadtSend us your questions for our grand Muppet Show finale (but not our Muppeturgy finale): [email protected].

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

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 than a Johnny Cash concert with Muppet chickens in tiny cowboy hats, and you can definitely do worse than listening to us talk about it! https://muppeturgy.com/episodes/johnny-cash
