		The Muppets

A fantastic medley of the sweet and mischievious, Jim Henson's muppets (a cross between marionettes and puppets), including Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, hold a weekly variety show with a range of famous guests. The originality of this mixture of person, muppet, innovative humor and great writing makes The Muppet Show one of the most successful series in the world in the late 1970's.

More than just a kids' show, at its height, The Muppet Show was seen in more than 100 countries and by more than 230 million people. Jim Henson and Associates were also behind the genius of Fraggle Rock, Dinosaurs, The Dark Crystal to name a few. The Muppet show spawned several feature length movies, television specials and a new series called Muppets Tonight in 1996.
