The jokes are still fine-to-poor-to-nonexistent. It’s hard to tell because it’s still not good. Maybe it’s just that I’ve finally sufficiently lowered my expectations maybe it’s that I finally understood and appreciated the many-layered pun in episode three’s title, “Bear Left to Bear Write,” or maybe it was just this one moment giving me hope that carried through to the rest of the episode, but I think I liked The Muppets a little more this episode. It occurred to me that it’s the first time there’s been any sweet, sincere Muppet singing in all five episodes so far, and I realized how much it had been missed. She brings up the fact that Fozzie gets incredibly emotional upon hearing the song “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper, and leads the other Muppets in singing it to try and provoke him. Fozzie’s girlfriend, Becky (Riki Lindhome is back, so things can’t be that bad), is trying to embarrass him in front of his co-workers after he told stand-up jokes about her. There’s a moment in “Walk the Swine” when something I love about the Muppets (the ragtag collection of felt entertainers, not the ABC sitcom I’m recapping here) came back into sharp focus. Meanwhile, Fozzie and his girlfriend hit a rough patch. Miss Piggy and Reese Witherspoon have a heated rivalry, but when the two volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, their feud escalates to a whole new level.
