Nov 18, 1977 Season 2 Episode 8 Kids, Comedy, Family

Robin longs for his own moment in the spotlight, but his uncle Kermit fails to notice him amidst the larger-than-life characters like Thog, Sweetums, and Timmy. In a bid to escape, Robin accidentally confines himself in his suitcase. When Bernadette Peters spots him and offers encouragement, Robin learns that the Muppets are all rooting for him. This newfound confidence leads him to insist on performing "They Call the Wind Maria," but Kermit ultimately opts for a charming little tune called "I'm Five" instead.
