Episode Summary

Lesley Ann Warren stars in a chaotic episode of The Muppet Show, where she's mistakenly introduced as a knife thrower and then a dancing cucumber. Gonzo's daredevil motorcycle stunts repeatedly fail, adding to the mayhem. The "Pigs in Space" segment humorously explores the effects of dummo rays on intelligence. Lesley performs a sanitized version of "Mack the Knife," debates the cruelty of Marvin Suggs' Muppaphones, and sings a beautiful duet with Rowlf. The episode ends with a lively dance with Link Hogthrob and a final mix-up involving the dancing cucumbers.
