You can skip Fozzie's failed attempt at stand-up, unless you're a Fozzie fan, but at 3:10, Ethel comforts him with the sweetest version of "There's No Business Like Show Business" she ever sang.
Slowly, all the other Muppets come over. It's the most touching scene Ethel ever played.

Stick around till the end and watch Miss Piggy hand Ethel flowers.

Isn't she sweet? No artifice, no belting, no brass.
And the way she clucks the chin of that female Muppet, the seamstress, right?

Posted: 12/15/07 at 12:14amThat was a great clip PJ. I live watching all the Muppet guest stars perform.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 12/15/07 at 9:41amThe first clip is definitely Season 1. I had it on at work Monday and I didn't even expect it. It made my evening. (FYI: I work at a video store.)

Does anyone else remember that Miss Piggy started out as Miss Piggy Lee? That's the way they would introduce her!
They dropped the "Lee" from her name, when Miss Peggy Lee told them she was offended by it.
