MuppeTrek - Episode 0 - The Unaired Pilots

It’s the inaugural episode of MuppeTrek! This is the show where we will review one episode each episode of The Muppet Show and Star Trek: The Original Series! Our co-hosts Steve and Jarman are huge fans of The Muppets and Star Trek respectively, so join them on a journey as they expose each other to these franchises from where they first began.

For the first episode (Episode 0) we take on the un-aired pilots of both series: The Muppets Valentine’s Special and The Cage.

First we’ll quickly recap the episodes and give our opinions of each. Then we’ll see if we can find any similarities between the two episodes (often ridiculous and barely tangential). After that… a transporter accident! We must cast characters from each show in the other episode of each franchise! Will Kermit become Captain Kirk? Will Spock become Miss Piggy? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Thanks to Phillip Chance for the modernized rendition of the TOS Star Trek theme for the end credits!
