Although I had already seen this one (and still haven't gotten through all the episodes I have not seen), I decided to watch this one on Disney+.

I had thought that the only reason Christopher Reeve was the doctor in Vets Hospital was because Miss Piggy forced Rowlf to be the patient and brought in Christopher as the replacement (which would mean that he was NOT originally scheduled to be in any of the three acts he appears in), but then Kermit mentions it in a backstage scene, so I guess it would have been that way even if Miss Piggy wasn't infatuated with him.

I also thought that both Miss Piggy and Christopher were attracted to each other (and was confused about his ending comments and Piggy being offended enough to karate chop him), but it looks like it might have been one sided (or at least he wasn't as into her as she was into him).
