Our fond look back at Jim Hensons classic series, The Muppet Show, continues.
Heres Glens review of episode six…
The sketch plays on Jims accent and how certain words can be misconstrued for comedy effect.
Hands become hens, right become rats, and so on.
It works well and is one of the only solid pieces in the episode.
Nabors closing musical number fails to deliver.
Its not played knowingly, it really is as though episode four never happened.
Still, its a little jarring.
There are themes that are touched upon that could have been mined for comedy gold.
Instead, theres no discernable theme, just a series of spluttering vignettes.
Overall, this is the worst of the episodes in the debut series so far.
Read our remembrance ofepisode 5 here.
