Episode Title:
First Show / Miss Piggy's Hollywood
Episode Description:
First Show: In "MuppeTelevision," Kermit tries to find a way to up the ratings. In "Miss Piggy's Hollywood," Piggy attempts to hobnob with celebrities but finds her plans inadvertently foiled by Gonzo.
Miss Piggy's Hollywood: Miss Piggy's Hollywood originally aired as the second half of episode 105 of The Jim Henson Hour, which first aired on May 14, 1989. In this special, Miss Piggy and her associate producer Gonzo attempt to take viewers on a star-studded trip around Hollywood and fail miserably. The concept is built around how Hollywood is home of the "family of the stars," but Piggy's encounters with actual stars are either near-misses (Bob Hope arrives after she's left) or rather one-sided (cornering George Wendt at his tailor's, while Justine Bateman shoves Piggy into a swimming pool)...
