Episode 410: Kenny Rogers

Scooter's uncle sells the mineral rights to Kenny's dressing room to Arabs, who start drilling for oil. Meanwhile, Kermit falls in a trapeze number and hurts his flipper. Later, he's pushed down the stairs, hit by a light fixture, and shot by a catapult into Statler and Waldorf's box. It's a pretty rough night for Kermit.

Highlights

• A wounded Kermit performs "Coconut" from his hospital bed, attended by a witch doctor.

• Kermit appears as the patient in "Vet's Hospital", and Nurse Piggy overacts as the nurse whose lover has had a tragic accident.
