Episode Summary

In a hilariously chaotic episode of The Muppet Show, guest star Roger Miller navigates a peculiar predicament: the Muppets are mysteriously turning into chickens due to "cluckitis." Amidst this frenzy, Miller performs "In the Summertime" and a medley of his hits, including "The Hat" and "Dang Me."
