Ep 1. Pig Girls Don't Cry

Kermit the Frog is back as the host of his own late-night talk show, Up Late with Miss Piggy, and things aren't going as smoothly as he had hoped. In the first episode of The Muppets season 1, titled "Pig Girls Don't Cry," Kermit must deal with the aftermath of a breakup with his longtime love interest, Miss Piggy, who is also the star of his show. To make matters worse, Kermit's ex-girlfriend has already moved on with another man, a rugged cowboy named Liam Hemsworth.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Muppets are dealing with their own personal issues. Fozzie Bear is struggling to come up with new jokes for his stand-up routine, while Animal is trying to control his wild impulses and focus on his drumming. Gonzo is going through a midlife crisis and trying out new hobbies, including salsa dancing and water polo. And Statler and Waldorf, the curmudgeonly hecklers in the audience, are up to their usual antics.

As the show is about to go live, Miss Piggy throws a wrench in the proceedings by insisting that Liam be brought on as a guest. Kermit is forced to confront his feelings for her while trying to keep the show from falling apart. Chaos ensues as the Muppets band together to salvage the taping, with many unexpected twists and turns along the way.

"Pig Girls Don't Cry" sets the tone for the rest of the series, which offers a fresh take on the beloved characters while staying true to their zany and irreverent spirit. The show's mockumentary format gives viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Muppets' lives and relationships, while also allowing for self-referential humor and commentary on the entertainment industry. With plenty of celebrity guest stars, musical numbers, and witty banter, The Muppets is a delightful and entertaining show that will have audiences of all ages laughing out loud.
