MuppeTelevision
While Digit has prepared a number of selections on the monitors to show on the episode, Kermit says they won't be needing them, as it is "Muppet Night at the Movies," and they plan on showcasing a film from the All Dog Network (ADN), Dog City. However, due to technical difficulties, the film is delayed. While the technical problems are being worked on, Bean Bunny presents previews of two of his upcoming films, Bean Bunny and the Cuteness Thief (starring the Sheep Wolf as Evil McBad) and Beanbo. Also, ADN airs some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Dog City narrated by Rover Cleveland, featuring Lyle as the news anchor (and a cameo voice-over by Jim Henson as the director).
Dog City
Rowlf hosts a film noir parody set in a town entirely populated by dogs. Ace Yu travels to Dog City to investigate the murder of his uncle, who was killed by canine mob boss Bugsy Them.
Closing
Jim Henson closes the show performing on-camera with his character, Bugsy Them, who didn't like the ending of the movie.
Notes
- This episode won an Emmy Award.
- This was the only Jim Henson Hour episode directed by Jim Henson.
- The sale of the Muppets to the Walt Disney Company included the rights to the MuppeTelevision portion of this episode but not to the Dog City special. When the special was released on DVD as Dog City: The Movie, the footage of Rowlf was kept intact, even though the character was part of the Disney sale.
