The Muppet Show
1976-1981 | Variety | UK | Created by Jim Henson
Overview
Kermit ran a variety theater on the brink of collapse, Miss Piggy demanded stardom, and the weekly guest star endured beautiful chaos. Five seasons, 120 episodes, syndicated worldwide. Henson puppetry at peak craft, with Statler and Waldorf heckling from the box seats. The guest roster ran from Vincent Price to Rudolf Nureyev. Time to raise the curtain.
