Muppets Noir #1

/ / Comics

An overworked Kermit, a dime-store novel, the mention of pie, and a backstage accident at the Muppet Theater lead to an unconscious Kermit reimagining himself in a noir world as gumshoe Flip Minnow hired by Delores Crustworth: Queen of Pies (food which our amphibian detective has an aversion) to find her missing neice Meringue (Miss Piggy). While on the case we’re introduced to several Muppet mainstays as part of Kermit’s delusion including Fozzie as Officer O’Bear, Rowlf as a piano player in a restaurant that tolerates no noise, and Gonzo as a nightclub act.

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of The Muppet Show, the half-hour special brings the Muppets back to the Muppet Theater for sketches, musical numbers, and classic backstage antics.

The Muppets Mayhem – Exile on Main Street

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: The Muppets Mayhem – Track 3: Exile on Main Street
  • wiki: link

As the band begins to record their new album they lose an important member when a misunderstanding sends Animal (Eric Jacobson) off on a search of a new career. The plot offers a running gag that Animal may not be suited for anything else other than the Electric Mayhem’s drummer (a harsh truth for an exasperated Ben Schwartz), that is until he finds an untapped talent as a hibachi chef. The thread also provides some flashbacks of Animal’s introduction to the group and one of the episode’s two performances in “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”
