25. The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show
Average Score: 6.9/10
Television Specials 9/22



There were a few entries that I'd never heard of before making the poll, and this was one of them, which makes me really surprised it's in the Top 25. Four people actually gave it a 9, but other voters flocked around 6 and one gave it a 3, which brought it down a bit.

This is our final "above average" song; our next entry singles the beginning of 7 territory - just in time for the Top 25, we're getting into the good ones.

I LOVE this show!! When I was about 14 (24 now), we visited our local main library (downtown Columbus, Ohio) where they had a very large selection of Muppet videos to chose from. The Fantastic Miss Piggy show was one of them, so we rented it, copied it and I've loved it ever since.
I loved this special because you could totally see that Kermit had feelings for Piggy when she sang her song to him. And when Gonzo said "Kermit your starting to glow" I got goosebumps! And you can't argue that it was within a movie because the set up was just like TMS backstage stuff and all!
I just watched it and I love it! This has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. My favorite bits were the snackcercise, "Don't Take It Lying Down Sucker" and You Light Up My Life :smile:

Yeah, I wasn't really a big fan of this special. It kind of felt like an episode of The Muppet Show that ran too long. And I felt like Miss Piggy should've had more interaction with the other characters. Pre-2000s Miss Piggy is one of my favorite characters, but this is another instance of an 80s franchise overexposing a breakout character.

24. The Muppets Go Hollywood
Average Score: 7/10
Television Specials 10/22



Our first 7, placing us directly into "good" territory, this was a special thing to celebrate the release of The Muppet Movie. Voting ranged between 4 and 10, with enough of a balance to bring it into the Top 25 and set it ahead of some stiff competition.

wow... great special!
What a great special. Lot's of funny stuff, such as the scene where Rita Moreno tries to dance with :embarrassed: but he dosn't mind dancing with himself. Plus, that part where they start the conga line; priceless :smile: .
