Frank Oz and Bill Barretta didn’t set out to make a web series about an absent-minded judge and his irreverent courtroom staff. It started as a spontaneous character riff in a New York City apartment while the two legendary Muppet puppeteers were doing press for the documentary Muppet Guys Talking, Barretta slipped into a character, Oz started feeding him questions, and somehow a judge emerged from the chaos. The resulting series, “Judge Boing Boing”, was recorded on Stage 15 at MGM Studios in 2025, and it’s exactly as wonderfully unhinged as that origin story suggests.
