Disney and the Muppets have brought back the iconic parody series Pigs in Space.
The first new episode is now available on YouTube.
Join Captain Link Hogthrob, First Mate Miss Piggy and Dr. Julius Strangepork from the recurring sketch in the original 1970s The Muppet Show, in two new highly-anticipated sketches of Pigs and Space fondly entitled “Alien: Look Who’s Coming to Dinner” and “The Gravity of the Situation.”
“Millions of fans around the world have been clamoring for moi to return as First Mate Piggy in Pigs In Space. And now their dreams have finally come true!” said Miss Piggy. “Along with Captain Link Hogthrob and Dr. Strangepork, the Swinetrek crew will soar through space on our endless quest for adventure and the joys of weightlessness.”
“Alien: Look Who’s Coming to Dinner,” the first sketch which is now available on YouTube, follows USS Swinetrek crewmates, Captain Link Hogthrob and Dr. Julius Strangepork as they match wits with an annoying alien stowaway who really knows how to get under their skin.
“The Gravity of the Situation,” the second sketch to debut on Friday, December 16 at 9:00 AM PST on the Muppets YouTube channel, tests First Mate Miss Piggy’s abilities to withstand the unknown dangers of space, while her crewmates, Captain Link Hogthrob and Dr. Julius Strangepork are tested by the well-known dangers of the divine swine.
