1. Drum battle between Animal and Buddy Rich
2. Duet between Sgt. Floyd Pepper and Melissa Manchester
3. Sma the Eagle's homily on nudity
4. Large muppet eats small muppet, then sings "I've Got You Under My Skin"

Any others?

Every Docotor Bob episode when they'd all look around to see where the narrators voice was coming from. Gets me every time.

And the episode when they talked about Jim Henson dying and it was the first time any of the puppets heard that there was people underneath them and they all looked down in surprise. A tear jerker with a laugh in the middle.

I absolutely adore the Swedish Chef, so anything with him in it is gold.
But I think my favourite skit involved a bunch of woodland creatures singing 'For What It's Worth' (Buffalo Springfield) hiding from redneck hunters, hootin' and hollerin' and firing their guns indiscriminately. It was very powerful, given the lyrics. ("There's a man with a gun over there, Tellin' me I got to beware.")
I didn't see the episode when they discussed Jum Henson's death. That would have destroyed me.

Or what about when all the muppets sung "Rainbow Connection" at the end of the movie.

Pigs In Space was always a big favourite around our house. Beaker and Animal, the Swedish Chef -it's so hard to pick out who was the best, when it was all such fine stuff. It's a shame kids aren't being treated to watching these guys anymore. The Muppet Show was pure, rich creativity at it's best - no computers, no high tech stuff.

Just feathers, felt, glue and raw unbridled imagination.

The episode where they find the meaning and purpose of life was particularly intriquing

Have to agree - anything with the Swedish Chef gets me giggling. The language he uses is just the funniest. Have spent many hours watching the Muppet Show but it seems like such a long time ago....

I'm a big Professor Honeydew and Beaker fan.

But I'd have to agree with everyone else's answers too. Not much wrong with that show!

I agree.. not much wrong with the show at all.

Animal was my favorite character.

Favorite show was with Mark Hamill Darth Nader *giggle*
