Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

[Beauregard]

You mean Kermit is jealous of Mickey Mouse? I hadn't thought of that before, but you may be right. Though they did get along well in the "Muppets at Walt Disney World" special. Just something to think about.

They even snuggled...something else to think about.

Yeah, it seems like Kermit and Mickey are good friends. After all, he seemed to enjoy doing the 'Mickey Mouse Club' thing on that episode of 'Muppets Tonight!" So that's sort of why it's beyond my realm of understanding why wouldn't like Mickey Moose.

Kermit was probably just sorta still manic after the peter sellers episode

I'm sure that he liked Mickey Mouse, but not Mickey Moose. Though the names are simialr, the characters are quite different. Mickey Moose's voice wasn't even a Mickey Mouse impersonation (though if it was, then his name would have probably been more expected before he mentioned it).

Oh, I get it. Kermit didn't want to accept any imitations. He'd rather see the real thing. I kind of agree with what SgtGonzo said though, after all Kermit's nervous breakdown after the Peter Sellers ep was mentioned at the episode guides as well.

Okay, here's a new one. Did Fozzie's 'Wocka wocka' originate in season 2? I haven't caught any episodes where he said that. Though in the Chloris Leechman episode, Fozzie Pig said 'Hoga hoga.' Was that supposed to be a parody of 'Wocka, wocka?' If it was, he's had to have said it at some point before that. Maybe I missed something.

It's sort of the same deal with Beaker's 'meeps.' In season 2 I've heard him make some faint sounds, but it doesn't seem like it was 'Meep meep meep,' until season 3. Does anyone have more information on this?

The Peter Sellers episode is the only season two episode where Beaker speaks with his "meeping" language. Otherwise, he doesn't talk, or makes screams, sighs, gasps, or stutters too much to get a complete word out of his mouth.

 

[Daffyfan4ever]

I see. Thanks for that info.

I'd still like to know about when 'wocka wocka' originated. I haven't really heard it outside of the movies and on 'Muppet Babies.'

I finished watching Season 2 the other day, and I loved every episode of it.
The thing that stands out the most was the episode where Fozzie's mom visits, and Fozzie does Pigs in Space.

Rats

I guess I'll research Muppet Wiki and see what they say on that.
