Miss Piggy is repulsed when Gonzo tells her that he loves her. Kermit tries to help by asking Piggy if she would like to go to dinner -- and when she accepts, he fixes her up with Gonzo. Everybody gets karate-chopped.
Highlights
- Scooter and Floyd sing "Mr. Bassman".
- In the guest talk spot, Mummenschanz "talk" with Kermit -- the mouths of their masks open, and bubbles and ping-pong balls come out.
Notes
- This episode marked the debut of Gonzo's trademark, rushing rapidly through camera with a WHOOSH.
- This was the last episode to feature the voices of John Lovelady and Eren Ozker.
- This was also the last episode that was written and produced by Jack Burns.
- The Sam the Eagle puppet from the Ben Vereen episode is used here.
