This is a sequel to my recent fan fiction, The Muppet Show Yearbook 1977-1978. It takes place right after the second season.

(the title sequence appears, in which a shot of a book with the title "The Muppet Show Yearbook 1977-1978" appears on-screen. The scene then fades to a shot of an office, where Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Floyd, Gonzo, and Scooter arein the room of)

Kermit: Okay, another great season, another yearbook. Let's highlight the previous season.
Miss Piggy: yes, we must highlight moi's finest moments.
Kermit: Uh, right, right.
Scooter: But let's also not forget about this years guets stars.

(cut to a montage of the cold openings with the following: Don Knotts, Steve Martin, Bob Hope, Judy Collins, Lou Rawls, Madeline Kahn, Julie Andrews, and Jaye P. Morgan)


Fozzie: Those were great.
Scooter: That's right, they were.
Fozzie: I can't beleive that my opening jokes were replaced by opening comments from Statler and Waldrf, though.

(cut to a montage of Statler and Waldorf's openign comments, including "I liked the old opening better", and "Why Us?")

Gonzo: I also started blowing a horn!

(cut to a montage of Gonzo blowing his horn, including blowing green smoke, getting hit with a ball, getting blown up, and actually blowing a correct note)

Kermit: I had one of my best moments this year, tap dancing.

(cut to Happy Feet)

Miss Piggy: You were a great dancer.
Gonzo: Yes, that was a good number, but we must also think of the weirdest of the weird.

(cut to: The Four Fazoobs, The Windmills of Your Mind, and Somethings Missing)

Gonzo: And what could be better than the weirdest of the weird?
Kermit: (shouting) ANYTHING!
Gonzo: Wrong. (four chickens pop up) Chicken performances!
Kermit: (scrunching mouth) Good grief.

(cut to Baby Face, Down at Papa Joe's, Rowlf playing piano while a chicken clucks, a chicken western, and Gonzo's dancing chicken act)

Sam the Eagle: (entering) Can't we have any normal memories!
Kermit: I was hoping that we would.
Sam the Eagle: We should focus on great performances like Rudolph Nureya!

(cut to Swine Lake)

Sam the Eagle: Hmm, maybe that wasn't so great. Well, anyway, we can include my speech on nudity.
Scooter: Right.
Sam the Eagle: No, wait, cross that out!

(cut to Sam's speech on nudity)

Sam the eagle: We can include that poem about the ant and the grasshopper.
Kermit: Oh, good, that was a good poem.
Sam the Eagle: Just don't draw attention to the results.

(cut to The Ant and The Grasshopper)

Miss Piggy: I think we should focus on....
Link Hogthrob: (entering) Pigs in Space.
Dr. Strangepork: Oh, good choice, Piggy.
Miss Piggy: No, not Pigs in Space, Moi...
Dr. Strangepork: We'll talk about Pigs in Space!

Not bad, but I think Gonzo's Cannonball Act is missing.
I debated over whether or not to put it there, then decided not to. There's no real reason why it wasn't.
