The Muppet Show

The Muppets, diverse hand-operated puppets, typically with over-sized eyes and large moving mouths. The television show depicted a vaudeville or music hall style song and dance variety show, as well as the backstage antics involved in putting the show on. The show was well-known for outrageous, highly physical, sometimes absurdist comedy, and particularly for using its puppet characters to create uniquely humorous parodies. Each show also featured a human guest star, many major celebrities were eager to perform with the Muppets on television and in film.
