The show is plagued by the Prairie Dog Glee Club who not only sing, but steal everything not nailed down.

Inspired by the American pantomime duo Shields and Yarnell, Fozzie Bear works on a mime act, including "Bear walking against the wind". Kermit suggests that Fozzie find a more original act, so Fozzie tries out "Bear feeding spaghetti to an elephant" and "Bear going to a drive-in movie with a porcupine".

The Muppet Show goes to the dogs when Miss Piggy asks 'da-da' Kermie to babysit Foo-Foo, her precious, pampered pooch. But with his flippers full hosting the show, Kermit entrusts Foo-Foo to Scooter who foists him on Fozzie who gives him to Gonzo who finally passes the fluffy puppy to Floyd unleashing sheer comedic chaos.

Miss Piggy attempts to handle a group of babies left at Muppet Theatre.

Miss Piggy takes over the show in order to celebrate Kermit's birthday.

When Dudley Moore brings his own robot to perform the show's music arrangements, the idled Electric Mayhem band won't stand for it.

With Arlo Guthrie as guest, Kermit promises a more family-style show for the performers and audience.

Singer Beverly Sills is slated to lead an opera called Pigoletto, leading to many of the Muppet cast's pigs to audition for a role, including Miss Piggy who desires a lead part.

While Kenny Rogers is dealing with Arab oilers in his dressing room, Kermit gets the worst of a painful series of accidents during the show.

Gonzo the Great receives an offer from a film studio in Bombay, and makes plans to quit the show. Miss Piggy, feeling jealous, asks Gonzo to keep her in mind when he talks to the producers. While singing "I Did It My Way" before he leaves, Gonzo breaks down in tears. The film deal falls through when the producers thought that they were hiring Gonzo the Mediocre, but when Gonzo returns to the theatre, he has to face his replacement, Trevor the Gross.

Despite Kermit's disapproval, the first Muppet Awards are given out with Phyllis George presenting.

The Muppets have to keep the noise down during a noise inspection to avoid being shut down while Dizzy Gillespie guest stars.

The cast of The Muppet Show believe that the night's performance is cursed.

While the Star Wars characters search for Chewbacca around the theatre, Luke's cousin, Mark Hamill, offers to perform over the objections of the Gershwin gargling guest star, Angus McGonagle.

Piggy is determined to perform with Christopher Reeve, who is playing up the Superman references such as a telephone booth near his dressing room for costume changes, his Kryptonian strength, and invulnerability.

Several Muppets don costumes and try to learn how to become superheroes themselves with disastrous results, but Piggy herself impressively performs as "Wonder Pig" in honor of this episode's guest star.

Inspired by magician Doug Henning, Fozzie tries his hand at magic and causes a rabbit infestation.

Miss Piggy asks Andy Williams to sing "Love Story" for her and Kermit, who have just become engaged. Unfortunately, Kermit hasn't heard about the engagement yet. The rumor slips out, and soon everyone thinks Kermit and Piggy are getting married. Meanwhile, the backstage cast puts up with a group of cheese hanging around backstage and trying to avoid the rats.

Miss Piggy buys a cute new pair of shoes, but they're too small, and she can't walk in them. She wants to take them back, but Kermit compliments them, so she has to keep wearing them.

Statler and Waldorf rate the show like Olympic judges. First, they give Kermit a two. Then, they give the opening a three, but the audience demands they bring it down to a zero. All of the Muppets get low scores (though Fozzie's "One" is a compliment by them), and Gonzo even gets a minus six. The Muppets think it's just a tough audience, but Diana Ross gets tens every time which gives her high scores.
