Sketches

In 1992, the Muppets appeared in a series of short comedy sketches that appeared on Tuesdays.

Video	Title	Description
	Muppet Campaign February 18	Miss Piggy and Gonzo face off in a political debate. Gonzo behaves bizarrely, keeps changing the subject, and basically does everything except address the issues. Naturally, he wins the debate.
	The Muppet Games February 25	A report by Lewis Kazagger on the Geek Winter Games (a much cheaper alternative to the Winter Olympics), where founding geek Gonzo demonstrates demolition speed skating.
	Pop Psychology March 3	A stressed out monster executive (Behemoth) listening to the radio hears a pyschologist suggest that everyone should release their "inner child." Much to the monster's dismay, a child monster (Boo) literally keeps popping out from inside him.
	Super Tuesday March 10	Gonzo and Rizzo (two candidates from the 1992 election) try to persuade Muppets to vote for them (leading to a messy tug of war with a whatnot).
	Spring Training March 17	Lewis Kazagger reports live from a baseball game, talking to the baseballs themselves.
	Setting Your VCR March 24	Two whatnots demonstrate how to change the blinking 12:00 clock on your VCR (leading to one of the whatnots going insane and blowing up the VCR.)
	Miss Piggy's Interview Show March 31	Miss Piggy reviews a book written by a levitating whatnot.
	Gonzo's Scandal April 7	Two whatnot news reporters interview campaign front runner Gonzo the Great, but when Gonzo develops a sore elbow, the reporters start hounding him with a series of increasingly tabloid questions.
	Tax Audit April 14
	Earth Day April 21	In honor of Earth Day, Kermit the Frog presents a live report from Planet Koozebane on their holiday rituals
