| 8/26/24 | ![]() 85: Farced Perspective, 9 June 1971: They Might Be Giants | Anna and Ben lie back on the psychiatrist's couch and delve deep into the challenges facing the "classic paranoid" behavior of a man who believes he's Sherlock Holmes and the woman who violates professional ethics for him. They also discuss how cavalier language about sensitive topics can be hurtful, and how they probably aren't equipped to do no harm, but at least they have trivia questions about candy! | 1h 31m 10s | ||||||
| 7/30/24 | ![]() 84: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring James Coco | Pete corrects Ben's assumptions that James Coco was a sketch comedian and that most sketch comedians are indistinguishable, balding brunets. They weigh whether the episode is constructed of re-used bits or just joyfully chaotic, and are interrupted by what might be sirens announcing The Rapture. But considering this whole episode has been replaced with an extended stream of silence, you won't hear any of that. How rude. | 1h 44m 19s | ||||||
| 7/14/24 | ![]() 83: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Jean Stapleton | Ben and Pete squabble over this episode, which Ben thinks might be one of the best introductions to the Muppet Show, while Pete finds the vibe — and millennials are all about vibes — lacklustre. But they can find common ground in their problems with Kermit, who Ben thinks is undercutting his own show, while Pete is astonished that he somehow doesn't understand the jokes he's hosting on his stage. | 1h 49m 28s | ||||||
| 7/10/24 | ![]() 82: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Roy Clark | Pete and Ben add two new items to track over the course of Pete's statistical analysis of this new season, and keep a look out for them during Roy Clark's visit to the Muppet Theatre. They also examine if there's a reason why only Frank and Jim seem to be present during the episode's backstage sequences and why the trumpeter in the Muppet pit band seems to be replaced on every possible occasion. | 1h 27m 26s | ||||||
| 7/6/24 | ![]() 81: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Helen Reddy | Ben and Pete return, somewhat belatedly, to examining the 45th anniversary of the original TV broadcasts of The Muppet Show, and they examine Helen Reddy's accent, Doctor Bob's lasciviousness, and just how busy the Muppet studios were in 1978. With new characters, newly credited actors, and new Lego minifigs to vie for, why does the show seem weirdly negative, and will it continue? Speculate wildly! | 1h 50m 07s | ||||||
| 6/30/24 | ![]() 80: Farced Perspective, 26 May 1971: Support Your Local Gunfighter | Anna and Ben visit one of Anna's favorite genres — the comedy Western — and arrive at very different responses to James Garner's non-sequel sequel to 1969's "Support Your Local Sheriff". So much so that they instead end up talking about the 1994 film "Maverick", the fairness of quiz shows, and Ben's obsession with "Charade". | 1h 09m 40s | ||||||
| 6/21/24 | ![]() 79: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Cloris Leachman | Pete and Ben wrap up their coverage of the Muppets' second season with a look at the celebrated career of Cloris Leachman. They also sum up the cumulative statistics from the entire season, and Pete's rankings of the guests generates disbelief on the part of both hosts. | 1h 42m 42s | ||||||
| 7/18/23 | ![]() 78: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Cleo Laine | Ben and Pete are both mildly unprepared for this episode, not knowing enough about the cultural weight of the Muppets' guest-star, bunraku puppeteering, or the potential offensitivity of Noel Coward. Pete's excuse is that he fell asleep during the episode, whereas Ben has to hide behind distractions, puns, and other [merdlidop]s. Roll 1d6 to find out how they get out of this one... | 1h 45m 58s | ||||||
| 7/4/23 | ![]() 77: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Petula Clark | Carve out about three hours for Pete to quiz Ben about English songstress Petula Clark, her relationship with other Muppet guests, and his research on her chart-topping status. Ben takes Pete to task about his dislike of apparent cue-card use and presents his own "Pet" theories about Ms Clark's lip-synched performance. | 1h 46m 58s | ||||||

| 5/9/23 | ![]() 76: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Jaye P. Morgan | Ben and Pete practice a percentage of being persnickety this episode, riffing on P words, debating the use of the term "podium" and generally paying peculiar partial attention to the guest-star's middle initial, to no particular purpose. Press play to participate! | 1h 42m 46s | ||||||
| 4/12/23 | ![]() 75: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Lou Rawls | Thrill to the unexpected, as Pete and Ben look things up on the Internet while broadcasting! Join them to discover whether Muppet special guest Lou Rawls has deliberately smuggled bird imagery into many of his lyrics, and whether a bonus question can earn Ben yet another victorious Lego minifig! | 1h 36m 26s | ||||||
| 3/28/23 | ![]() 74: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Peter Sellers | Ben and Pete take the content warning on Disney Plus to heart, but is it about Beaker's abrupt teleportation — which had previously been edited out by Nickelodeon — or Peter Sellers' cultural depictions? And is Fozzie secretly torturing his boss to force him to break down publicly and perform one of the Muppets' most well-known songs? The answers to these questions and many more can be discovered if you just BLOOP! | 1h 35m 27s | ||||||
| 3/14/23 | ![]() 73: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Julie Andrews | Pete and Ben go bullish and steak their reputations on some prime cuts of cow-based punnery that you'll calf to heifer yourself to believe. Somehow in the midst of all that, they manage to talk about Julie Andrews' career and how she was able to naturally interact with the Muppets in a way to which other guests could only aspire. Pete also watches a clip from the infamous Muppet Movie test footage, and Ben remembers a favorite childhood book. | 1h 43m 50s | ||||||
| 3/1/23 | ![]() 72: Henson Perspecive: Guest-starring Bob Hope | Ben and Pete come to very different conclusions about the underplayed demeanor of Bob Hope as he enters his last quarter-century of comedy on The Muppet Show. They also discover that Ben is racist against pigs, that Pete might want a cat for a sleep mask, and — against all expectations — that Kermit might be a well-modulated stage manager after all. | 1h 51m 57s | ||||||
| 2/21/23 | ![]() 71: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Elton John | Pete and Ben come to very different determinations of the rules Pete has established for judging the performances of the guest stars on the podcast. They also make a ruling on Ben's previous confusion about Muppet crocodiles, talk about not talking about a particular sketch, and find an unexpected application of the word "hornswoggle". | 1h 34m 57s | ||||||
| 2/8/23 | ![]() 70: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Judy Collins | Ben and Pete clash over what comes off more poorly in this episode: the newly corporeal figure of of Scooter's uncle or the folk music stylings of the guest-star. They also guess what segment of the show was produced months after filming and engage in a truly gross pun run. | 1h 45m 44s | ||||||
| 1/31/23 | ![]() 69: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Rudolf Nureyev | Pete and Ben discuss the legacy, potency, and popularity of the Soviet Union's premiere cultural defector, and consider how he's objectified by the episode, whether Statler and Waldorf should sing along to the theme song, and how big Robin's hat should be. They also determine a head-canon for the Muppet Show warm-up comedian and that Pete doesn't appreciate anything classy. | 1h 36m 55s | ||||||
| 12/28/22 | ![]() 68: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Zero Mostel | Ben and Pete look at the posthumous release of the Muppet Show episode featuring Zero Mostel, discussing his maximalist performance, dissecting the show's spec script origins, and digressing into the depths of wordplay "betta" left unplumbed. | 1h 33m 16s | ||||||
| 12/14/22 | ![]() 67: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring John Cleese | Pete and Ben investigate how well the Fawlty John Cleese of 1977 matches up with the potentially more cloth-eared John Cleese of 2022, and what the term "cloth-eared" means, anyway. They also investigate the height of the Muppet theatre, where Frank Oz was during this episode, and why both local fireworks and Siri seem to want to interrupt their recording session. | 1h 46m 26s | ||||||
| 12/7/22 | ![]() 66: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Don Knotts | Ben and Pete get lost in a circle in a spiral, in a wheel within a wheel, as they talks about the strange edits that Disney has imposed upon their hosting of the Don Knotts episode of The Muppet Show. They also warily wander the circumference of the topics of relatives, the proper reaction to the cuteness of dogs, and whether the episode has gone on for so long that they might as well start over. | 1h 43m 49s | ||||||
| 11/30/22 | ![]() 65: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Teresa Brewer | Pete and Ben find themselves pulled between critical poles on this episode, enjoying the charisma of the guest-star but lamenting her musical choices, and also finding that while the backstage runner has aged poorly, the UK Spot might be the greatest musical secret the Muppet Show has ever concealed from American audiences. | 1h 37m 34s | ||||||
| 11/23/22 | ![]() 64: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Milton Berle | Ben and Pete grovel, grovel at the feet of that fabulous funny-man, the inimitable Milton Berle, while also marveling at the intemperate timekeeping of Dr. Julius Strangepork, the indescribable transcribing of Jerry Juhl, and the indefatigable patience of King Charles the Third. | 1h 29m 45s | ||||||
| 11/8/22 | ![]() 63: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Bernadette Peters | It's an extra-long episode of self-indulgence as Pete goes down a nerdy rabbit hole of calculating dropping a weight on the Muppet newsman, and Ben investigates a tweet about Robin's princely origins. They also talk at length about Bernadette Peters' awards and honors, unwrap a new minifig, and payoff teases of obscure redheads, House of Leaves situations, and Karnak's mystery prediction. | 1h 46m 59s | ||||||
| 11/1/22 | ![]() 62: Henson Perspective: Guest-starring Steve Martin | Ben brings way too much research to the table — literally — as he and Pete sit down to discuss a format-breaking episode of the Muppet Show, but one where Steve adapts his previously-established act for the family-friendly audience. And, it turns out, some of that act hasn't aged well, but that may be less problematic than Pete and Ben running afoul of the Italian-American Anti-Defamation League! | 1h 41m 01s | ||||||
