TV-GSeason 3
It's time to raise the curtain on The Muppet Show!
Synopsis
Season 3 of The Muppet Show (1976) is up to watch online on iFILM — eighteen episodes of Jim Henson's puppet variety hour, with Kermit once again holding the whole circus together. The show is at its peak now, and big names line up to walk through the door.
The guest range is wild, from Alice Cooper and Harry Belafonte to Sylvester Stallone and Liberace. The acts get more ambitious to match: Gonzo attempts his first motorcycle jump, penguins reenact the Mayflower landing, and the season closes with the whole troupe staging "Robin Hood" alongside Lynn Redgrave. Backstage stays its own kind of mess. Fozzie quietly fights a fire to keep the show running, and Miss Piggy boils over with jealousy the moment Kermit praises a young pig newcomer.
A new recurring sketch arrives — "Bear on Patrol," with Fozzie as a hopeless cop. Henson sharpens what season two was only feeling out: the gags get bolder, the musical spots more generous. Stream The Muppet Show Season 3 online on iFILM.
