Muppets creator, the late Jim Henson, lends his incredible voice talents to Kermit and the Swedish Chef.
Frank Oz speaks for Miss Piggy and Fozzie Bear, with veteran puppet designer Dave Goelz (Fraggle Rock)
as the larynx behind the Great Gonzo. The Muppet Show garnered eight Emmy® Awards during its 1976 to
1981 syndicated run and produced a series of Muppet films including The Muppet Movie and The Muppets
Take Manhattan. Henson’s creative mind was also responsible for two non-Muppet Show related movies, The
Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
Comments on Season 2:
After the writers spent the first season feeling out the characters (and dropping a few), this season features the long-running cast of Muppets settled into the mode that they are known for. The writing admittedly is not always sharp with some skits working much better than others. Our personal favorites are the cranky old balcony dwellers Statler and Waldorf, who voice a less-than satisfied audience that nonetheless is faithful in attendence. Unlike the well-known Saturday Night Live sketch series, there are behind-the-scenes storylines sprinkled throughout each episode usually featuring Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. Having had to settle for Best of retrospectives, watching entire episodes does take some of the luster off as some skits fall flat or left us scratching our heads. At the same time, we finally can once again watch all the bits from our favorite Muppets.
