The chicken gag really does lend itself to some good bits. (Plus Roger Miller tells everyone that it’ll pass and they’ll all turn back to normal.) It is The Muppet Show after all, so having this absurd thing happen and for it to continue just works. You’d think someone would have found a cure by curtain call, but nope! Everyone except Roger Miller and Gonzo remains in chicken form as the credits start to roll (which is fun, watching the normal credits but reenacted with chicken puppets). The Cluckitis gag isn’t solved by episode’s end. ![]() And, as it turns out, Scooter’s eyeball glasses are just as weird on a chicken as they are on him! One with purple eye shadow and pearls for Piggy. There’s a chicken with no eyes and a mustache for The Swedish Chef. This leads to a whole lot of chicken puppet appearances, with adornments of the Muppet who just transformed. The Muppets are one-by-one turned into chickens the moment they catch it. I’ve already had several ToughPigs friends tell me this episode is a favorite, so I recognize I’m in the minority with this opinion.Īs said, the best part of this episode is the backstage story, which revolves around an illness spreading to the cast and crew. It’s just, overall, not the most interesting one. There are plenty of good moments throughout, and the backstage plot is hands down the best part. That’s what the Roger Miller episode of The Muppet Show is for me.Īgain, I want to reiterate (mostly so Roger Miller fans don’t hunt me down), this episode is not a bad one. They’re not amazing, they’re not terrible. Sometimes there are episodes of shows that are good and hold their own, and that’s about it. Y’know, not every episode of any television show is going to be an absolute banger. ![]()
