The Muppets

The Muppets are characters created by Jim Henson some examples are Kermit, Miss Piggy, Bert & Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, and Fozzie Bear. The word 'Muppet' came to be on Henson's first show called "Sam & Friends". In 1969, Joan Ganz Cooney asked Henson to make characters for a new show called "Sesame Street". After the sucess of Sesame Street, Henson made his own show called "The Muppet Show" which featured new Muppets like Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Scooter, as well as musical performances by Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem. The Muppet Show ran for five years and in the 80s Jim created new worlds like the underground caves of Fraggle Rock and the fun-filled nurseries of Muppet Babies. He also made two movies "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth". Jim died in 1990 from pnuemonia and they continued his legacy by creating new shows.
