This episode may seem pedestrian, but it’s really quite a happy feat, with the great Madeline Kahn jumping in to a sweet and sad backstage plot with Gonzo, some questionable but fun toe-tapping with t...

We tried to game the system (we tried to light the lights?). We over-thought everything and recorded a bunch of episodes, guessing at which order Disney+ might choose to post The Muppet Show in. And...

A summer inside our city's thriving, political, increasingly weird puppet underground.

We remember the "Muppet Show" and "The Dark Crystal" screenwriter.

'The Muppet Show' special got big viewership and four Emmys. Where is the Disney+ series order for the backdoor pilot? A look inside.

We have questions about this episode. Mostly: Why? Peter Sellers famously said (to Kermit!) “You see, there is no me, I do not exist,” and it’s sort of fun to see him prove that by only appearing in c...

Underground chemists are now producing the notorious party drug after a Scorsese film sparked renewed interest
