Howdy, y'all! Get set for toe-tappin', foot stompin' fun as the Muppets welcome Johnny Cash! In honor of his appearance, the show is being broadcast on a country-western radio station. But there's a heap o' trouble in store when the flashy, meaner than a polecat radio DJ, "Big Tiny Tallsadle," bullies Kermit and takes over the show!

I thought this one was alright but a bit too mean-spirited for my taste. Kinda sucked seeing Fozzie being belittled by the other comedian and Rowlf having to play for the "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" number. Still a pretty funny episode though, I'd say a 7/10.
