Jim Henson created “The Muppets” to destigmatize the stereotype that puppetry is just for kids. “The Muppet Show” was originally made for adults yet still had a family friendly aspect in some way. The “questionable guest appearances” emphasized Jim’s vision and his decision to showcase.

@_DuckTa1es_ Год назад

@tyleriguana2450 Год назад

@@_DuckTa1es_ Yeah! Disney doesn't know exactly how The Muppets were intended and only use them for children entertainment and rely too heavily on celebrities rather than showcasing the styles of this puppetry.

@CheezheadJohn Год назад

The decision makers in entertainment and advertising, as well as the critics, have difficulty understanding the audience appeal of various types of content. They tend to believe that all puppets and cartoons are for children and science fiction is for teens. The original Star Trek series was canceled because advertisers did not believe the that it was one of the few TV shows that had a large audience of scientists, engineers, and other professionals. Even Steven Hawkins was a fan and made a guest appearance on the show. After over 50 years, spinoffs of that franchise are still going strong.

@FoxUnitNell Год назад

@@CheezheadJohn it's so weird because those old guys must have grown up with radio re runs of flash Gordon which was the biggest thing for kids before the 50s which is why George Lucas had wanted to make a remake of it because he had known adults like him would still love sci Fi shows.

The "Muppet Show" was not created for children. It had far more adult viewers. The humor, satire, and skits were often not written for children.

@fabiannaklemczak7778 Год назад

Exactly, just a lot of kids watched it with their parents and then it was saw as being a family show but that was never the intent.

@jesoko6724 Год назад

I was just about to comment this. It was not made for, nor marketed for children. That was what Sesame Street was for. The Muppet Show was always meant for adults. There are sources that claim that Jim was constantly pushing development of a Muppet Show because he was afraid the success of Sesame Street was going to type cast him as a children's entertainer. He developed his shows for adults first (see SNL), was persuaded to develop Sesame Street for kids, then created the Muppet Show for adults.

@starietiger9927 Год назад

@bethanyhanna9464 Год назад

The Muppet SHOW was created for kids, based on the adult content characters that made Jim Henson famous. Before they created the kids show, you can see his muppets on things like SNL. 🤣 Another "kids show" that was developed from a VERY adult stage act was Peewee's Playhouse. 🤣🤣🤣 Both shows found success with multiple age groups, because there was definitely plenty of adult humor intertwined with the family friendly bits. 😘 From the very first animations, ALL cartoons were initially targeted towards adults as well. Apparently, it took several decades for the powers that be realized the buying potential of kids begging their parents. 🤣🤣🤣

@michaelpalmieri7335 Год назад

@@bethanyhanna9464 Comic Soupy Sales' TV show was generally seen as a kids' program, but there were segments that appealed to teenagers and young adults too (the series first went on the air during the 1960s, when the "Youth Culture" was becoming popular), like when Sales performed his novelty song "The Mouse" on the show, with young people in the background doing a "twist"-like dance. The PBS show "Arthur" is a children's show, but it could also appeal to adults with its inside jokes, its parodies of famous books, movies, television shows, etc, and the way it occasionally tackled taboo subjects like cancer ("The Great McGrady"), book banning ("The 'Scare Your Pants Off' Club"), people with Asperger's Syndrome ("When George Met Carl"), and so on.

Back in 79 and 80, I was in the Navy stationed in Rota Spain. There was a bar named "Bennies" just off the base that was run by an Ex-Pat American named Bill. Every Friday at 9 he would bust out the VCR and play a recently taped "Muppet Show". For that half an hour, everything stopped. People would start showing up around 7 just to get a good seat at the bar or a table. Full grown men and women, gathered around a bar to watch a TV show, from America. A taste of home, served with fried rice, calamari, and a pitcher of Sangria.

I remember watching an episode w Susan Sarandon guesting on Sesame Street. They had her & the Count walking in the rain w a newspaper up to a castle. Count wanted to count the knocks, then realized it was his castle. Kids would have no clue, but that was a funny thing for adults bc it was reprising Susan's part in the Rocky Horror Picture Show lol

@debbiebankscell Год назад

I was a kid in the 70s, and definitely knew who Vincent Price was before I ever saw the Muppet Show. The narrator must not realize how thin the TV options were in the 70s. Most families only had one TV, and that TV only got 3-4 channels, and children's programming was limited to a few hours a day, and Saturday mornings. Saturday afternoon TV often showed campy old horror movies including ones with Vincent Price, and he would also appear as a guest on the variety shows and daytime game shows that were popular in that era.

@sojoboscribe1342 Год назад

And if you lived in a PBS house, you wouldn't think of him as some sort of monster, you'd think of him as the guy who sat in the chair and introduced Mystery, or did those commercials for those charity coupons at Halloween, or was on Scooby Doo (the 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo). A bit spooky yes, but not at all threatening.

@niceguy169 Год назад

There's also The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein, which definitely WAS targeted at kids, which had Vincent Price as a host (apparently they filmed his segments for the entire series in one weekend). Not sure if that predates the Muppet Show episode, though. All his segments had horror-themed jokes, gags, and puns. Show had tons of characters. almost all played by one guy, Vincent Price was one of like only 4 other guys on the show.

@deborahlepage1789 Год назад

I REMEMBER living that. My cartoon time was Saturday morning, and I remember hating Jimmy Carter, because when emergencies happened, he interrupted cartoons. Who the f**k did he think he was telling? Saturday morning was when adults got to finally sleep in, and the kids got to control the show selection - hence cartoons. I knew a limited selection of the "real world": I knew the walk to school, school, the walk home - which was the time older kids had a chance to bully younger kids, and my block. So tell me how my limited world knowledge understood Jimmy Carter ( Big smile to show all his teeth ) understood anything but some jerk interrupting my cartoons ( which were only on for a couple of hours a week that I got to see )

@VinceAsbjornsen Год назад

I was 6 at the time and totally knew who Vincent Price was. That episode was the talk of my 1st Grade class that Friday afternoon. Most kids were very excited about it.

And we watched shows like Hollywood Squares... which were designed to supply the past prime actors that started the industry with work. Up until into the late 60s, perhaps early 70s, actors generally didn't have agents and big paydays. They were employees of the Studios, and paid like any other job. So, I never saw any film with Ruth Buzzi in it... but I know who she is.

@kittyfamtastic3534 Год назад

I think there's a big misconception that The Muppet Show was made for children. It was not, it even aired in a prime time evening slot. So, having "questionable" guests really isn't questionable at all. Statler and Waldorf should be the biggest giveaway that it's not for the youngins. That's not to say The Muppet Show was inappropriate for kids, the humor was just above their heads and that's ok. I certainly enjoyed it when I was little but even moreso as an adult!

@CrashFan03 Год назад

older cartoons like tom and jerry and looney tunes were also not made exclusively with kids in mind. most of the audiences for those cartoons were adults and the shorts were produced accordingly

I never knew that the "Manah-Manah" song was first recorded in Italy, or that it was originally part of the soundtrack for a porno film. SHOCKING! 😲😱🤯🤬 WHO KNEW? I first heard the song on "Sesame Street," in a scene where two little girl muppets want to sing a song, but they need one more person to sing with them. Then along comes a male muppet who looks something like a hippie type with long scraggly hair, and when he speaks, all he can say is "Manah-Manah," which the girls realize is the name of the song, so they figure he'd be a perfect singing partner. The only trouble is that as the girls are singing, the long-haired fellow keeps upstaging them with his outlandish ways of singing the "Manah-Manah" line. I think this skit was performed on "The Ed Sullivan Show" (with two monster-like muppets in place of the girl muppets, but still keeping the hippie type guy), and years later, on "The Muppet Show, with the same characters from the Sullivan program. Believe it or not, I once heard the original recording of "Manah-Manah" (the one featured in that porno flick) on "Captain Kangaroo."

The Muppet Show was family entertainment made in a time honored way of multi-level jokes.

"Does Sesame Street share a demographic with True Blood and Games of Thrones?" Yes, it's called the "parent and adult caregiver" demographic.

Celebrity appearances and cultural references are our reward for making it through another "Elmo's World" segment. XD

Ms. Mojo, please understand this: The Muppet Show was INTENDED FOR ADULTS!!!! Sesame Street was for kids, the Muppet Show was supposed to be for adults. Or all ages, but really, Henson wanted to show that puppetry was for everyone, not just kids, so the Muppet Show was supposed to be Sesame Street’s counterparts. So this “well we’re not sure how they thought this Muppet Show thing would go with the kids” is irritating because the Muppet Show wasn’t originally meant for kids!

I grew up with Sam and Friends; Wilkins and Wontkins; Rowlf the Dog on The Jimmy Dean Show; 'Glow Worm' -- the bit where Kermit is trying to catch and eat a 'worm', which turns out to be the lon long skinny nose of a monster who chomps Kermit; Storytellers; Sesame Street (before it got annoying with Elmo); Fraggle Rock; Labyrinth; The Kingdom of Gorch, on Saturday Night Live; The Dark Crystal; various Muppet movies; The Muppet Show; other Muppet performances on Ed Sullivan, and other variety shows. The Muppets have always had double entendres and wordplay. That's what Family Entertainment is. Something the whole family can enjoy at the same time. Something to keep the adults from being bored, and something the kids can enjoy, without understanding all the jokes. Lighten up, Miss Mojo. What you 'revealed' wouldn't ruin my childhood. However, the fact that you felt compelled to present this 'revelation' comes close.

The references to Game of Thrones et al are for the parents who watch the show with their kids, so they get some entertainment out of it as well.

That’s hilarious. Daddy Bush talking about drugs ruining your life. Too bad he didn’t teach his son that by not helping him get to be president even after all the stuff he did. Maybe a lot of people would still be alive.

I loved the muppets! My favorite Christmas Carol is the Muppets! As a kid like most shows didn't understand the adult content.

Critics and entrainment executives mistakenly assume that all shows with puppets are for children. The Muppet Show was not created for children. Most vi

I really feel like Big Bird (and Caroll Spinney) almost dying on the Challenger should have been closer to number 1. Imagine the press and Sesame Street trying to deal with that.

@HunterEQGtribute Год назад

Wow they just used the wicked witch episode if Sesame Street that was a lost episode until earlier this year. Awesome! 🤘🏼👍🏼

@michaelpalmieri7335 Год назад

The witch was portrayed by Margaret Hamilton, who also played the character in the movie "The Wizard Of Oz" (1939) with Judy Garland. A few weeks after she visited "Sesame Street," Hamilton was on another PBS children's show, "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood," only this time, he appeared, not as the witch, but as herself, the reason being that she wanted to explain to children, who may have been frightened by her "witch" role on "Sesame Street," that she was only playing a fictional character, and that witches weren't real.

I believe Disney & Jim Henson's family made the wrong choice to let Steve Whitmire go. I haven't seen or heard from Rizzo in 5 years now. Also, I thought Kermit & Piggy's wedding from The Muppets Take Manhattan would've been on the list

@susanbrown4297 Год назад

My husband and I watched The Muppets all the time. I think it was the early 70s. When my kids were born, they watched the show and we all still love the Muppets.

@4a8p9x Год назад

The Muppets were sneaking humor and songs for adults into Sesame Street literally from day one. The hope was that parents would be intrigued and watch the show with their kids. Heck, I remember 30 years ago when my neices were watching it and saw Muppet characters named "Meryl Sheep," "Placido Flamingo" and "H. Ross Parrot."

@donharris8371 Год назад

I might add the way Frank Oz has been treated over the years has been a tad disappointing. Yes, he wanted to go do his own acting/directing gig and distance himself from puppetry but I've heard him say when he's offered to come back and perform characters it's always a "We'll call you" sorta thing. Also, my impression has been that the women muppeteers have always been second-class citizens. I swear Karen Prell was just sitting in the audience at the 2001 Muppet Convention when she was asked to come on stage and "join the guys!"

@travisbrewer5391 Год назад

The reason that Sesame Street parodied those adult shows was two-fold. 1. Even 3 yr olds will have heard the titles and been curious about them. 2. Sesame Street tries to appeal to the parents as much as the kids with such references and A-list celebrity cameos. And who hasn’t seen at least one “Put Down the Duckie” with a large number of Celebrities repeating that “you gotta put down the duckie if you wanna play the saxophone.”

I was surprised when I first learned that Frank Oz was the original voice of Miss Piggy; but in retrospect, Piggy sounds like a very sick Bert.

As one who was an adoring kid watching the Muppet Show, all of fourteen years old, I assure you, we knew all those guest stars. Our parents were watching too because it wasn't a kid show, it was a family show. Back then, the average household only had one tv so prime time included adults. A show the whole family could enjoy, the Muppets had a ton of double entendres.
