Muppets Tonight
Air Date	April 5, 1996
Written by	Dick Blasucci, Paul Flaherty, Darin Henry, Jim Lewis, Kirk Thatcher and Patric Verrone
Director	Greg V. Fera

When Cindy Crawford arrives at the KMUP studios, security guard Bobo the Bear develops an instant crush on her and, with a little push from Cupid's arrow, becomes hopelessly smitten. One "60s retro montage fantasy" (and Micky Dolenz cameo) later, Bobo decides to pursue his love.

Rizzo tries to coach him, Cyrano de Bergerac-style, but Bobo gets slapped when he mistakenly asks to play with Cindy's balloons. Eventually, though, Bobo gains the courage to tell Cindy that he loves her in his own words and interrupts her duet with Kermit to confess his love.

Elsewhere, Cupid accidentally shoots Sal Minella with one of his arrows, and the little monkey develops unusual feelings for his pal Johnny Fiama. But it's nothing that a sack full of something heavy dropped on his head won't reverse.

TriviaEdit

• The Kermit the Frog Club is a parody of The Mickey Mouse Club. The sketch reveals that the fourteen-year old, brace-faced Cindy got her big break as a Frogketeer, back when she used her real name, Cinderella Crawfordopolis.

• At the Bar, Swift Wits and The Tubmans of Boarsmith were all UK skits that only aired in other countries. Polly Lobster and Clueless Morgan were the only two characters that ended up on Muppet Tonight from Muppet Treasure Island. At the Bar and Swift Wits were the two that aired in this episode in other countries.

• Cindy's supermodel superpower is shooting laser beams out of her eyes. She uses her power to vaporize Randy Pig and Stu.

• This is the first episode that Pepe the King Prawn appeared in. He appears briefly with his fellow elevator operator Seymour the Elephant but doesn't have any lines.

• The newspaper that Bobo reads at the beginning of this episode has an advertisement for Muppet Treasure Island.

• Songs on We Hardly Heard Ya include "Theme from New York, New York" and "Hooked on a Feeling."

• This episode was production number 107
