1976–1981 American-British variety television series
The Muppet Show is a sketch comedy television series created by Jim Henson and starring the Muppets. The series follows the characters, led by Kermit the Frog as the showrunner and host, as they put on the eponymous variety show, featuring a rotating slate of guest stars and recurring sketches and musical numbers interspersed with ongoing storylines taking place backstage and in other areas of the venue. The Muppet Show is known for its uniquely designed characters; burlesque nature, slapstick, absurdist and surreal humour; and parodies. As The Muppet Show became popular, many celebrities were eager to perform with the Muppets on television and in subsequent films. Henson produced two pilot episodes for ABC in 1974 and 1975, but neither went forward as a series. While other networks in the United States rejected Henson's proposals, British producer Lew Grade expressed enthusiasm for the project and agreed to co-produce The Muppet Show for ATV, part of the UK ITV network.
