The Crystal Gayle episode! Why do I like the episode?

The Prarie Dogs are naughty creatures. It's kinf of a swipper is swippin'. One moment Kermit is with a collar and the next moment, it disappears and is stolen. It is pretty hilarious and embarrasing at the same time.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but one of my favorites was the Avery Schriber episode. That duel he had with Sweetums was comedy gold! :laugh:
Don't be embarrassed, that was actually a turning point in S1, quality-wise, which is why I think it's a really good episode.
