The main subplot involves Gonzo going on a date after using a picture of Liam Hemsworth in his dating profile. In this episode we also get to see Rowlf, who is the bartender at \u201cRowlf\u2019s Tavern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Gonzo&#039;s Dating Profile - The Muppets\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FGOgwU39Ds0?list=PLDe0CguuqcMBpEi0GUz9MsBM8fhuQ_XOv\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The episode itself more or less continues the trajectory of the first two without any major waves in any direction. It had funny moments, utilized a bunch of characters, had good guest stars, but also was a little uneven like it was still finding its footing. This episode, however, has been the best so far at integrating Fozzie into the main action of the show. The guest stars were all great in their segments and really seemed to interact well with the Muppets.<\/p>\n<p>One of the aspects of the Muppets that I still think is missing from any of these episodes is some complete insanity. So far this show is a competent sitcom with beloved characters, but seems to be playing it a little safe. I\u2019d like to see something completely off the wall and absurdist that breaks them out of the conventions of traditional sitcoms.<\/p>\n<p>Top quotes:<\/p>\n<p>-\u201cKermit is like the third most common frog name in America\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-Bobo to Nick Offerman: \u201cBoy I wish I could grow a beard like that\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-\u201cNo, but I did lick my third cousin once and the walls started melting, so I feel ya bro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check out clips and episodes of \u201cThe Muppets\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/abc.go.com\/shows\/the-muppets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>What did you think of Episode 3 \u2013 Bear Left then Bear Write?<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season 1, Episode 3: Bear Left then Bear Write Originally Aired: Tuesday October 6 Guest stars: Christina Applegate, Liam Hemsworth, Nick Offerman We now arrive at episode three of the new ABC Primetime show, \u201cThe Muppets.\u201d This episode is entitled \u201cBear Left then Bear Write.\u201d This episode has two main plotlines, one where Miss Piggy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":80,"featured_media":41867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4462],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-disney-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/80"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42071"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42071\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":85641,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42071\/revisions\/85641"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
