How this season is filed

Filed by Tessa Quinn · Spoiler-Free (Mostly)

Kermit tries to keep a vaudeville catastrophe on the rails while Miss Piggy karate-chops her way to diva status. Jim Henson's UK-made syndication hit put A-list guests in felt chaos and revived variety for mixed-age living rooms. Songs, balcony hecklers, and a frog under stress.

Desk essentials in this season

  1. S02E01 George Burns

    George Burns as guest is old-showbiz DNA walking into felt chaos — variety history sharing a bill with Piggy's diva chops and Kermit's stage-manager panic.

  2. S02E16 Elton John

    Elton John is the watercooler booking: A-list pop inside puppet meta-comedy. The hour still photographs as the prestige-guest badge the series minted weekly.
