It'S Not Easy Being Greeny/ Dueling Harmonicas is the fourteenth episode from season 3 of the iconic children's show Muppet Babies. The show centers around the imaginative play of a group of young Muppet characters including Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, and Summer Penguin.
The first half of the episode, It'S Not Easy Being Greeny, follows Kermit as he struggles with feeling different from his friends. When the group decides to play superhero, Kermit is disappointed that he can't fly or have super strength like his friends. He even briefly considers using a potion to turn him into a superhero, but ultimately decides against it.
Throughout the episode, Kermit sings a poignant and catchy song, "It's Not Easy Being Green," that serves as a reminder that it's okay to be different. His friends also try to reassure him that they love him just the way he is, and that being unique is what makes Kermit special.
The second half of the episode, Dueling Harmonicas, sees Fozzie and Kermit in a friendly harmonica showdown. Fozzie enlists the help of Animal to create a unique sound, while Kermit turns to his trusty banjo to back up his harmonica playing.
The two friends face off in a musical duel that sees them playing increasingly complicated and impressive tunes. In the end, they realize that they work better as a team and combine their musical talents to create something truly special.
