[
Back to the Muppet TV studio. ]
|
|
Kermit
|
And
so, without further ado, let's go --
|
|
Digit
|
Wait!
Wait! Amazing news! I'm picking up TV signals from Deep Space!
|
|
Kermit
|
What?
|
|
Digit
|
Yes!
Alien beings are transmitting TV programs not unlike our own!
|
|
Kermit |
But
-- that would prove that there's intelligent life in other galaxies!
|
|
Digit
|
No,
it just proves they have television.
|
|
Kermit
|
Well,
listen, Digit -- why don't you see if you can feed the signal to our viewers,
and I'll go cancel some of the boring parts of the show!
|

|
|
[
On a TV monitor next to Kermit's desk, guest star Louie Anderson is alarmed. ]
|
|
Louie
|
Waiiiit
just a minute there.
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh,
hi, Louie!
|
|
Louie
|
Did
I just hear you cancel my spot?
|
|
Kermit
|
Oh,
no, not you, Louie. We'll be getting to you a little bit later. Just wait
right there in that monitor.
|
|
Louie
|
Oh.
All right. Do you have any magazines?
|
|
Kermit
|
Uh...
no, but you might find this part interesting, because Digit's going to show us
some alien TV shows! Digit?
|
|
Digit
|
[
with a satellite dish around his neck ] Ha ha ha haaaa! Oh! That was
no norblick, that was my peen freeble! Ha ha ha! That's great. I tell ya, Kermit, this stuff is much more my kind of humor.
|
|
Kermit
|
Is
that thing the receiver?
|
|
Digit
|
Yes,
it's coming through loud and clear from somewhere in the Andromeda Galaxy.
|
|
Kermit
|
How
do we get to see it?
|
|
Digit
|
Well,
you don't. I'm using my head as a terminal, so the best I can do is describe
it to you.
|
|
Kermit
|
What?
|
|
Louie
|
Oh,
I've heard of this, it has a name. It's called radio.
|
|
Kermit
|
Eeesh!
At least we've got an opening number. And here they are: The Extremes!
|

|
|
[
The Extremes sing "Neutron Dance," screaming and rolling around on
the ground. ]
