* Just the fact that the Muppets were returning to TV regularly after almost 20 years was enough to get everyone hyped.
** Another thing: Minor Muppet Chip is getting a bigger role.



** Doubles as a meta moment for the crew as they manage to have Piggy seamlessly picked up off her desk by three male dancers and carried clear across the set in a single shot.
** Earlier, she wins a sawing contest by karate chopping the end off.

* Just the fact that the Muppets were returning to TV regularly after almost 20 years was enough to get everyone hyped.
** Another thing: Minor Muppet Chip is getting a bigger role.
* Kermit's BatmanGambit to get Piggy to break up with Josh Groban (before his suggested changes ruined the show): Telling Piggy that the show's name is being changed to ''Josh Groban Presents Up Late with Miss Piggy''.
* In "Pig Out" Kermit pulls off another manipulation to get Piggy to stop going out with the crew (and keeping them out all night): remind her that she's a class or two above the common crew members. Kermit points out he learned from the best.
* In "Walk The Swine", say what you will about Piggy, but there's no denying that she can do an apology like no one can! It manages to be all three moments at once.
** Doubles as a meta moment for the crew as they manage to have Piggy seamlessly picked up off her desk by three male dancers and carried clear across the set in a single shot.
** Earlier, she wins a sawing contest by karate chopping the end off.
* In "The Ex Factor", Piggy using what Kermit told her about Denise to help him get the perfect birthday present for her, while at the same time slipping in a subtle TakeThat to him about making such an awkward request of her by having the jewelry box actually be a music box that plays Kermit and Piggy's favorite couple song.
* "Pigs in a Blackout"
** To get around having no electricity for the band, Scooter brought in [[Music/{{Pentatonix}} an a cappella band]]! What a great workaround!
*** They even managed to get Statler and Waldorf to sing along!
** Gonzo's YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre speech to Scooter.
** Kermit reprising [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "The Rainbow Connection"]] at the end.
* Near the end of "Going, Going, Gonzo", Gonzo (having originally planned to do the Piggy Water-sponsored cannon shoot, but backed out), to the strains of Dave Grohl & the Electric Mayhem playing "Learn to Fly", goes ahead and does the stunt anyway... ''and pulls it off''.
-->'''Gonzo:''' I'm Gonzo the Great!\\
'''Kermit:''' [[DistinctionWithoutADifference No! You're Gonzo the GREATEST!]]
** The episode's [[TheStinger Stinger]]: Dave Grohl having a drum duel... WITH ANIMAL!!
--->'''Dave Grohl:''' You win.
--->'''Animal:''' (at the same time) You win.
* During the "Most Wonderful Time of the Year" number at the end of "[[ChristmasEpisode Single All The Way]]", Crazy Harry is clearly noticeable, doing something noteworthy for the first time on the show.
** Kermit and Piggy seem to be one step closer to getting back together!
* The Muppets work their way around Piggy not being able to show her tail on TV... by wearing fake pig tails and showing ''them'' off on TV.
--> '''Kermit:''' "[[ScrewedByTheLawyers We have been told you absolutely cannot show that tail on TV]]...''[[LoopholeAbuse But they didn't]] [[YouAreNotAlone say anything about me!]]''"
* Pepe doing an impression of UsefulNotes/BarackObama. The impression is spot-on, but still sounds like Pepe. Such a thing is a feat of voice acting that few people short of Creator/MelBlanc could pull off, but Bill Barretta does it without a hitch.
* The Muppets doing ''Up Late'' from Piggy's hospital room after she breaks her leg really shows that they can work their way around any problems and the result can be awesome (see the Loretta Lynn episode of the original Muppet Show).
* The show won the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Family TV Show, against shows that have been just as successful but were on the air longer, such as ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', ''Series/OnceUponATime'', and the previous year's winner ''Series/ModernFamily''. Even better, this was despite the initial outcry from MoralGuardians over it not being really all that family friendly.
