"The Muppet Show" premieres 1977


Jim Henson's multi-award winning variety show The Muppet Show premiered April 23, 1977.  It gained in popularity, but Jim Henson wanted to end the show on a high note.  The last season had the highest Nielsen ratings ever.  

It won four Primetime Emmy awards including one for Rita Moreno for her guest appearance.  

Kermit the Frog and Waldorf appeared in all 120 episodes.
