NEW RIZZO ALERT! youtu.be/qne0IdyZuc4?...

We have a little stocking stuffer for you! “A Muppeturgy Christmas” is a Spotify playlist of Christmas songs performed by Muppet Show Guest Stars! From Linda Lavin to Marty Feldman, Jean-Pierre Rampal to Lou Rawls, there’s a wide range Christmas cheer awaiting you!

Have a nice life… day. This week we are taking a look at 1978’s Star Wars Holiday Special, with our own very special guest star, fam favorite Anthony Strand! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/sta...

Mother.

What a delight to join the Muppeturgy crew for some talk about Itchy, Lumpy, Mala, and Bea Arthur!

Hey YOU! Are you looking for a last minute holiday gift for someone? And I mean REALLY last minute?? Then look no further than MY TeePublic store, where I have these Muppets-inspired holiday designs amongst other stuff! Check it out!! www.teepublic.com/user/shann-g...

@muppeturgy.com My copy (the same one RiffTrax used) has all the commercials intact, which is wonderful, but it's from a different station so there's no infamous bumper for how to fight the frizzies. I often wonder why there's no Pujols candy bar... youtu.be/Dn3VPHmob6I?...

Brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Also @durwoodclapper.bsky.social I highly recommend the documentary. Waaaay more entertaining than the Holiday special 😂

I maintain much of the Boba Fett mythology stems from the desperate nerds who saw this and needed something to cling to until Empire Strikes Back released.

Good Morning America gave us our first look at the Muppet Show reboot. A very BRIEF look…

This old podcast takes you on a stroll down Jim Henson’s dark hall of nightmares to 1986 to rewatch “The Christmas Toy,” an idea no one has repeated since.

Celebrating the extraordinary legacy of The Jim Henson Company and its 70 years of imagination, innovation, and pure magic. Watch our collection for free on Kanopy including THE DARK CRYSTAL (1982), LABYRINTH (1986), HENSON'S PLACE (1984) and more. www.kanopy.com/category/86176

Well, I guess I have to repost this. Kink or no kink

As we continue to figure out exactly what shape Muppeturgy Phase 2 is going to take, there will definitely be some high points and low points. But folks, the episode we're releasing this week is absolutely a high point. Can't wait for you all to hear it.

Brief thread Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero, two of the premier New York club mixers in the ‘80s, did a PAIR of 12” mixes in 1983 of “Lapti Nek,” the original song in Jabba’s palace from the non-special edition of Return of the Jedi

Our very own Christie Baugher has a holiday gift for you: a music video of Broadway's Julie Benko singing her song "I'll Be Here" from The Fitzgeralds of St. Paul.

HOW AM I JUST LEARNING TODAY THAT MAURY "NINE" and "TITIANIC" YESTON WROTE "CHRISTMAS IN THE STARS," THE STAR WARS CHRISTMAS ALBUM?????? youtu.be/V3OTAFdmv4A?...

Tune in next time, when you'll hear Mala, wife of Chewbacca, say, "mrrrooOOOOWWHHHAAAaaaa."

I love the underrated, unhinged "Step Into Christmas" by Elton John because like many holiday songs from the 70s and early 80s, the subtext is: I got cocaine for Christmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbRt...

Happy 100th Birthday to Dick Van Dyke, star of The Muppets Go Hollywood! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/mup...

Happy birthday to everyone’s favorite Joe Raposo stan, Francis Albert Sinatra.

Cannot be mad about the Mutations being this week's #TheMuppets70 Muppet(s) of the Week because they helped give us this perfect nugget of 1970s joy: youtu.be/zx9fenOtgNY?...

ICYMI youtu.be/5UXTekRsBvo?...

Today on @heythatsmepod.bsky.social, I do an audio commentary on THE MUPPET SHOW: SEX AND VIOLENCE pilot from 1974 with Bonnie Erickson who designed and/or built Miss Piggy, Statler and Waldorf, Fozzie Bear, Janice, Zoot and so many more. It was such a fun time.

Happy 94th birthday to Rita Moreno, whose iconic performance on The Muppet Show earned her an Emmy and made her the third EGOT in history! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/rit...

Let's hope that for once Disney's neglect of the Muppets works out in our favor and they keep our beloved fleece friends out of this garbage.

🎄 Today’s podcast is about The Muppets: The Sitcom: The Christmas Episode, which aired 10 years ago today. It’s got badly singing Mindy Kaling, barely singing Echosmith, an ok Secret Santa bit, an awful mistletoe bit, and our very special guests: @tallgirlpetunia.bsky.social & @jd11pc.bsky.social!

Welcome to Phase 2 of Muppeturgy! We’re following paths and pulling threads that came up during our coverage of The Muppet Show to bring you more 70s and 80s variety show nonsense. It’s going to take us to some places! (What about them?)

spoilers for a future Phase Two episode

20 years ago, we shared our dream with Muppet fans everywhere when we started work on an encyclopedia where everyone can work together to catalogue and archive everything related to Jim Henson and freely make that resource available to the world. (cont'd)...

Have you watched John Denver and The Muppets: A Christmas Together yet this season? Let’s watch it together! www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/den...

Prepping for tonight’s recording.

SPECIAL AWARD: Museum of the Moving Image

I named my fists Statler and Waldorf because I am a Muppet fan with a weak handle on how this meme works.

You'll recognize more than a few of these pages from discussions we've had on the podcast... and you'll recognize a few of the people quoted as well.

I wouldn't mind if music in general sounded more like a '70s variety show honestly

You know, The Muppets once tried out having a strong floor and no roof. Didn’t turn out so great for them. www.muppeturgy.com/episodes/gla...

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Do you wish your Christmas sounded more like a 70s variety show? Check out our Muppeturgy Christmas playlist, with holiday favorites from five dozen celebrities who appeared on The Muppet Show!
