Synopsis of The Muppet Show
A music hall-style vaudeville show is staged every week in a theater, featuring songs, dance numbers and sketches. Kermit the Frog, known as Gustavo in Spain, directs and hosts the show, and has to keep his fellow cast members' antics in check, as well as his own short temper. Each episode features a guest star, who must be introduced and kept happy while the rest of the cast prepares their acts. Behind the scenes, parallel storylines intersect with the performance. Created by Jim Henson, the series airs on ITV in the UK and opens with a title sequence in which Gonzo tries to hit the O in "Show" like a gong.
