Ep 14. Little Green Lie

As the 14th episode of The Muppets season 1, "Little Green Lie" follows the beloved puppets and their behind-the-scenes antics as they prepare for an appearance on Up Late with Miss Piggy, the fictional late-night talk show that is the centerpiece of the series.

Being the Muppets, however, their preparations don't go as smoothly as they would like. This time, the trouble starts when Kermit begins to feel the pressure of keeping up appearances in his personal life as well as in the public eye. Specifically, Kermit is dealing with a problematic car; an old, barely-running hunk of junk that has been his personal mode of transportation for years.

When the other Muppets find out about Kermit's car trouble, they band together to get him a new, better vehicle. This is where the titular "Little Green Lie" comes in. The Muppets tell a little white lie to Kermit about their plans to purchase him a new car, in order to keep him from worrying so much about it.

Of course, as with all harmless deceptions, things quickly snowball out of control. The Muppets end up getting caught up in their own lie and have to scramble to cover their tracks. Meanwhile, Miss Piggy is dealing with her own dilemma. She is planning to get a new nose, which is a risky and potentially life-threatening procedure – but one that she believes is necessary to maintain her looks and status as a celebrity.

All of these various plotlines come together in typical Muppet fashion, with plenty of zany humor, mishaps, and misunderstandings along the way. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing their favorite characters in action once again, and this episode in particular is a great showcase for their unique personalities and quirks. Viewers get to see more of Kermit's vulnerable side as he struggles to keep up with the demands of his job and personal life, while Miss Piggy continues to be a larger-than-life diva with her sights set on becoming even more famous and glamorous.

Overall, "Little Green Lie" is a fun and engaging episode that showcases the best of what The Muppets has to offer. It's a great choice for fans of the show who want to see their favorite characters in action once again, and it's also a good entry point for newcomers who want to get a taste of what makes this series so beloved by audiences of all ages.
