Plot Outline

Jim Henson intro

Jim Henson introduces a clip from The True Bride, and notices that the Lion talked in that clip. He asks if he'll ever talk again, and the Lion says that he doubts it.

MuppeTelevision

• Guest Star: Buster Poindexter

Flash's groupies mob the studio, but then defect to become Bean Bunny's groupies. Meanwhile, Gonzo pre-records himself so that he can talk to Kermit when he's across town at another studio.

• sketches:
• opening number: "The Music Just Keeps On Rolling Along" with Solid Foam
• Buster Poindexter talks to the members of Solid Foam.
• Bootsie and Brad
• Ghost Story segment with Fozzie Bear.
• "All Night Party" with Buster Poindexter and the cast.

The StoryTeller

• The True Bride: A girl is freed from a troll's enslavement -- but when she falls in love, she's kept apart from her beloved by the troll's daughter.

Closing

Acknowledging the fact that The Thought Lion actually talked in The StoryTeller, Jim asks the lion why he doesn't talk anymore. The lion says that he doesn't have anything further to say.

Notes

• This is one of the few episodes that Frank Oz performed in.
• When watching the monitor that Buster Poindexter appears on, Kermit starts wondering how the members of Solid Foam got to Buster's location (since they were just at Muppet Central) just before they appear on the monitor.
