It's hard to make a list of my favorite moments from these two episodes because pretty much everything from them are great, though I do agree about the "Sheik of Araby" being kinda weak.

At first I wondered how Ted could have fantasized about being with Robin in 2000 and 2003, since they hadn't met yet. But then I wondered if those women were just different characters played by the same actress.

This episode was the first time I saw Stephen Hawking in live-action form. I'd previously only seen him in animated form on The Simpsons.

I wonder where Amy's been these last few weeks. Is the actress still listed in the opening credits (assuming she had been this season)?

Altogether, I've graded these two episodes a B+, but in reality I'd give the Madeline Kahn one an A and George Burns a B- (with two episodes reviewed per review, I wish there was a way to rank them seperately). It's hard for me to list my favorite sketches from the Madeline Kahn episode because everything in it is…

When I heard Peter would do an act with a puma, I wondered if it'd act like a real puma or if it'd be like Brian, an anthromorphic talking animal. And it was a little of both.

Bob getting help from a kid to win at a game reminds me of the Simpsons episode "Moaning Lisa" when Homer gets a kid at the arcade to help him at video boxing.

My favorite acts from these episodes include "Baby Face", Gonzo wrestling a brick, Fozzie's ventreloquism at, "Time in a Bottle", the Four Fazoobs, Gonzo's dancing cheese, and "Yes, We Have No Bananas".

It's interesting that Begen became famous as a ventreloquist on the radio. I guess the average person knew they were dummies even though they couldn't see them.

Talking Muppet food had appeared before — A banana appeared in two season one episodes (though in this episode, they "have no bananas"), and a talking japanaese cake appeared with The Swedish Chef.

I had been wondering why they never show Louise without her bunny ears hat, and this one seemed to explain it in a cutaway, with her claiming she had a scalp infection which would cause everyone to die. I wonder if all that was true or if it was a lie.

My favorite segments in these episodes include "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly", the Koozebanian Phoob sketch, "Night Train", and Sam's editorial on nudity.

My favorite acts from these epsidoes include the "Ugly" song, both renditions of "The Entertainer", Zelda Rose and her singing owl, Crazy Harry's opening number, Glow Worm, the press sketch, and Gonzo's dancing chicken act.

I wonder if he would have done a better job at impersonating the Muppets if his appearance came later in the shows run (like season 4 or 5). At this point, Kermit was the only oen who's really been around for years. Fozzie and Piggy were both only around for one year, while Statler and Waldorf had been around for two…

Actually, the prop room was first seen in the Zero Mostel episode, during the UK spot.

My favorite scenes from these episodes include "Sweet Gingerbread Man", "The WIndmills of Your Mind", "Lullaby of Birdland", the first Muppet Labs, and "Fears of Zero".

I thought it was odd that Jason Segel wasn't in that many sketches.

It's a shame they didn't just do the reeses pieces/box gag right away on James. Actually, I started to wonder if James Woods would pull that trick on Peter this time.

I wonder if Howard and Bernadette will even have a wedding episode this season.

No, Miss Piggy's nephews Andy and Randy are the Jar Jar Binks of the Muppet universe.
