The Muppet Show "Lynda Carter" Review

 


Muppet fans everywhere it's been well over a year since I last did a review of an episode of the classic The Muppet Show. Well I thought that now was the right time to take a look back at another classic episode from this classic TV show and well then I think that i've found a great episode to talk about and so the join me as I review the episode that introduced the world to that world famous her Wonder Pig with the episode in question being called simply just "Lynda Carter" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Superhero fever has taken over The Muppet Studios and it's up to Kermit to put on a good show. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episodes plot being very easy to follow and to understand in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this episode is Jim Henson as Kermit The Frog , Link Hogthrob , Waldorf, and The Newsman and Frank Oz as Fozzie Bear , Miss Piggy , Sam The Eagle , The Wolf and Rezal-Evad-Gib. Also starring in this episode is Jerry Nelson as Lew Zealand , Floyd Pepper , Dr. Julius Strangepork , The Idol , Super Sheep and Rat , Richard Hunt as Scooter , Janice and Statler , Dave Goelz as Gonzo and Beauregard , Steve Whitmire as Rizzo and of course we also have the great Lynda Carter as Herself.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With all of the The Muppet performers turning in some really good performances and even Lynda Carter herself turning in a really good performance and she more then holds her own performance wise when she's up against the The Muppets cast of characters as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.



As mentioned at the start of this review this episodes guest star is of Wonder Woman herself Lynda Carter. Who is just a pure joy to watch in this episode with her quite clearly having a blast starring in this episode which really does shine through and I liked that they didn't have her appear as Wonder Woman since that would have been far to easy to do and as such having her appear as herself works out really well in this episodes favour in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


This episode doesn't shy away from making jokes about Lynda Carter starring as Wonder Woman since the whole character of Wonder Pig is a spoof of the Wonder Woman character. Heck Miss Piggy's and the rest of the The Muppets crew plotline revolves around them becoming superheroes this is of course a tip of the hat to Lynda Carter playing a superhero and it's something that I really liked altho the Wonder Pig sketch could have been a little bit better since it's a very badly written sketch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Sadly tho this episode isn't perfect since there are somethings that I didn't like about this episode like the fact that I didn't like the song that Floyd has since it doesn't really match up well with his character and I didn't like the fact that this episode was perhaps two dark with the opening sketch being a sketch about human sacrifice which for The Muppets is something that is just far to dark for them to handle in their own unique way in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


The greatest thing about this show is the fact that you get see famous people display some talents that we didn't know that they had. With the same thing being true for this film since I had no idea that Lynda Carter could sing and not only can she sing but she has a great voice and it really does make me wonder why she never tried to make it as a singer since she very easily could have done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then this episode has / had an exact a grand total running time of exactly twenty six minuets and thirty two seconds. Which is the perfect running time for this episode to have since it is after all a sketch comedy show and those don't really need to last that long and when you add in the fact that this episode really doesn't have alot of story and so then it only makes sense that this episode has the running time that it has and isn't instead overstaying it's welcome in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho I will admit that this episode isn't as funny as it perhaps could have been like it would have been funny to have Diana Prince be on the show but as someone that the The Muppets gang don't believe is a real superhero even when she reveals herself as Wonder Woman but the show does nothing like that and as such alot of this jokes just aren't that funny in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall while this is a good and funny episode like I just said it's not as funny as it perhaps could or even perhaps should have been and as such I can't really recommend his episode to fans outside of the fact that this episode does technically feature the first appearance of Rizzo The Rat but that's really it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official The Muppets fandom wiki page and Google Images. With the website that I personally recommend using to get the actual images frim this special being the official The Muppets fandom wiki page this is simply because nearly all of the images that are featured and are thus up and on the official The Muppets fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly high in definition.
