Kermit has a crush on Linda, so Miss Piggy locks him in a trunk filled with Gonzo's fungus collection. Linda finds him, and they share a romantic moment, but Piggy locks him up again and drags the trunk onstage during "Pigs in Space".
Songs/Sketches
- Linda Ronstadt sings "Blue Bayou" and "I've Got a Crush on You".
- Pining over Kermit, Linda sings "It's in His Kiss" with Janice.
- "I'm So Happy"
- Rowlf sings a version of "The Cat Came Back".
- The Swedish Chef: champagne
- Pigs in Space: Battle Robot Monster
- For the closing number, Linda sings "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" to Kermit.
Notes
- The 1981 book Of Muppets and Men features a chapter on the making of the "Blue Bayou" number.
- A clip from "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" was used at the climax of the special The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years.
- Almost fifteen years later, a track on the 1994 Kermit Unpigged CD reprises the plot of this episode. Kermit and Linda sing a duet of "All I Have To Do is Dream," and apparently they still have a crush on each other.
