Kermit the Frog and his fellow Muppets put on a vaudeville show at their theatre, bringing in a famous celebrity to help out for each episode.

Kermit the Frog is the manager of a cabaret-style theatre house, which invariably has more drama behind the stage than on it. He has to contend with wannabe-comedian bears, the smothering advances of Miss Piggy, crabby regular theatre patrons, homicidal chefs, livestock, not to mention making the weekly guest star feel welcome.—Murray Chapman <[email protected]>

From entertainment mastermind Jim Henson, this is the classic variety show that took the world by storm in the 1970s and 1980s. Following the stage-show careers of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, The Great Gonzo, Sam the Eagle, and many more lovable characters, The Muppets sing and dance to their heart's content all in service to one thing: unmitigated happiness unprecedented in television history.—Johnny

Kermit the Frog tries to run a Variety show in the Muppet Theater. Working against him are "Statler" and "Waldorf", the two hecklers who always were in the same balcony and Scooter's uncle who owned the theater. Miss Piggy, who was boosted to super-stardom from this show, wanted to be a star and would do anything to get that, including karate-chopping anyone who got in her way. Some of the often used skits included "Muppet News Flash", "Pigs in Space", "Veterinarians' Hospital", and "At the Dance".—Ted Nesi <[email protected]>
