Ep 14. Guest: Sandy Duncan

In season 1 episode 14 of The Muppet Show, the guest star is none other than stage and screen actress Sandy Duncan. The episode begins with a musical number featuring Kermit the Frog and Sandy herself, in which they sing a duet of "I'm Just Wild About Harry."

Throughout the episode, Sandy interacts with the Muppet cast in various comedic sketches and musical performances. In one segment, Sandy interviews a Muppet news reporter about the latest weather forecast, but things quickly go awry as the Muppet struggles to relay the information accurately. In another sketch, Sandy plays a gypsy fortune teller who predicts the futures of various Muppets, leading to hilariously absurd outcomes.

Throughout the show, Sandy also showcases her singing talent with various musical performances. In one segment, she performs a solo rendition of "Try to Remember" from the musical The Fantasticks. Later in the show, she joins the Muppets for a lively performance of "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody," complete with energetic dancing and choreography.

As always, the Muppet characters bring their trademark zany humor and slapstick antics to the show. Highlights include Gonzo attempting to roller skate while balancing a tray of eggs, and the Swedish Chef attempting to cook a cake using a flamethrower.

In addition to the musical numbers and sketches, the episode also features the classic Muppet Show segment " Pigs in Space," in which the futuristic swine crew encounters a space monster and must outsmart it to save the ship.

Overall, episode 14 of The Muppet Show is a lively and entertaining showcase of Sandy Duncan's talents, as well as the quirky humor and musical flair of the Muppet cast.
