Catalogue information
The Muppets are a creation of Jim Henson. The term is derived from the English words marionette and puppets. Both terms mean about the same: a doll that is moved by, for example, strings, a hand or something similar. The Muppet Show is a British comedy television program starring Jim Henson's puppets the Muppets. The program takes place in a theater where the most diverse, often strange acts are performed by ignorant artists. The performances range from slapstick humor to absurd events and parodies. The program was presented by Kermit the Frog. Many world famous singers and actors have been guests over the years. The series ran from 1976 to 1981, although two pilot episodes were made in 1974 and 1975. The series has 120 episodes. In the Netherlands, the program was broadcast by the KRO. The series has spawned a large number of spin-offs, including multiple films and a comic book series.
