The Muppet Show season 4 episode 6 Recap and FAQ
Episode Summary
Dudley Moore struggles to tune his piano backstage at The Muppet Show, leading to an introduction with Scooter. The episode features the Muppet band playing "She Loves You," and Moore's unique Music and Mood Management Apparatus (M.A.M.M.A.) causes a stir. It replaces the band in a number and annoys the crew during the Pigs in Space sketch. Kermit and Miss Piggy have a humorous misunderstanding, while Gonzo's act is hilariously disrupted by M.A.M.M.A. The episode concludes with the band begrudgingly agreeing to finish the show after Kermit's request, followed by Dudley Moore's final performance and mixed reactions to the repaired M.A.M.M.A.
