Lingue: English
Plot: Kermit the Frog is the manager of a cabaret-style theatre house, which invariably has more drama behind the stage than on it. He has to contend with wannabe-comedian bears, the smothering advances of Miss Piggy, crabby regular theatre patrons, homicidal chefs, livestock, not to mention making the weekly guest star feel welcome. Kermit the Frog tries to run a Variety show in the Muppet Theater. Working against him are Statler and Waldorf, the two heckler's who always were in the same balcony and Scooter's uncle who owned the theater. Miss Piggy, who was boosted to superstardom from this show, wanted to be a star and would do anything to get that, including karate-chopping anyone who got in her way. Some of the often used skits included "Muppet News Flash," "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian's Hospital" and "At the Dance."
