The Muppet Show season 1 – the very first episode (the first filmed episode, anyway) starring Connie Stevens. Kermit the frog sings Lydia the Tattooed Lady. This was Jim Henson’s favorite song – it was even performed at his funeral.

The Muppet Show opening - season 1

The ‘first’ episode of The Muppet Show has the Muppet performers are only beginning to find their roles, and how the show fit together.   Even so, some of the best things are already in place, such as the ‘backstage moments’, where Kermit the Frog is trying to keep things going on despite the insanity around him, the subplot (in this case, it’s the theater owner’s nephew, Scooter, who wants to do an act with the dog, Muppy, who despises Kermit), and a mixture of comedy sketches, classic songs and letting their weekly guest star strut their stuff.

Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear lyrics, written by Randy Newman, as performed on The Muppet Show by Scooter and Fozzie Bear

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh I’d step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous alarming courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It’s just amazing how fair people can be

Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear lyrics
