This lovely, silly, romantic chat is a screen test for the Muppet Movie. It's a wonderful moment between the two characters, and has an extra bit of sentimental charm just from the way Jim is laughing. It's easy to forget nowadays that Kermit and Piggy were much more obviously a couple back then. Look at that spark! Look at Kermit's hysterically horrified reaction when Piggy says she cut Miss Mousey in half, while Jim is giggling! Look at them cuddling up on that log while Kermit flirts.


Yes. Kermit flirts. Forgive me for being so starry-eyed and dreamy over this, but I miss stars and dreams. Kind of hard to imagine him denying any sort of affection for her there, isn't it? It's not that he never denied their relationship in those days, of course he did... but actions... his actions have always spoken louder than words.

Maybe it's time to see a little more action again.
