Don Knotts

We’re back! It’s season two and The Muppet Show is starting to take the form we all remember. 15 seconds to curtain! The arches! Gonzo’s trumpet! Beaker! (Next week.) Uh…nightmare gingerbread people? Horrifying music hall numbers? Deeply stressful mental breakdowns? Hey look, a puppy! Aw, a tribble/fizzgig thing! We’re gonna be okay. Let’s pour one out for Mildred, George, Wayne, and Wanda, and welcome TV legend Don Knotts for season two of The Muppet Show — YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY! (A thing Kermit doesn’t actually say yet.)

At least for now, most of the stuff that’s been cut from Disney+ (not just for this episode) is available in one handy video. Don Knotts starts at 21:27 (it doesn’t actually contain all the bits leading up to “Birdland” though).
