It wasnt spooky like this when Julie Andrews did the show When Alice Cooper graced the stage of the Muppet Show, he came preparedrather than use the usual monsters that made appearances on the program (such as Sweetums, Uncle Deadly, and Thog), he brought his own. Throughout the episode, the cast acknowledges what a strange episode it is, from Kermit stopping his introduction of the Muppet Show with [ their] very special guest star, Alice Cooper mid-cheer to shudder a bit, and Sam the Eagle flat out calls Cooper a freako (Alice takes it as a compliment). In an example of humor oriented towards older viewers, part of the show revolves around the guest star encouraging Kermit to sign a contract with the devil in order to fulfill his dreams of stardom (additionally, while Sesame Street has been an educational source for young viewers for decades, the Muppet Show featured Alice Cooper singing about school being blown to pieces). One musical number that is more likely to appeal to the whole family is Over The Rainbow, sung by Kermits nephew, Robin, exemplifying the stylistic versatility of the show.
