Also appearing as a series regular was Bean Bunny, who had previously starred in the HBO TV special The Tale of the Bunny Picnic.įozzie Bear and Miss Piggy appeared only intermittently, as their performer Frank Oz was busy with a directorial career. Regulars included past favorites Kermit the Frog, The Great Gonzo and Link Hogthrob in addition to new characters Digit, Leon the Lizard, Lindbergh the Kiwi, Vicki, Clifford, Waldo C. The Muppets broadcast their network's programming from a unique control room called "Muppet Central". It was an updated version of the classic series The Muppet Show, the new twist being that the Muppets were now running an entire cable television network rather than a single variety show. MuppeTelevision regularly occupied the first half of The Jim Henson Hour. Henson's series officially premiered a week later. The first episode produced - Sesame Street… 20 Years & Still Counting- was aired as a stand-alone special. Occasionally, a light-hearted story or more Muppet antics would close out the hour in the second half. That would often lead into more serious and sometimes darker content, such as a rerun of The Storyteller. These shows would always start with a modernized variation of The Muppet Show, titled MuppeTelevision. Ordinarily, however, the hour was split into two thirty-minute segments. Other shows like "Secrets of the Muppets" went behind the scenes at Henson studios, showing how the Muppets are built and operated.

"Living with Dinosaurs", in which a young boy's stuffed Dinosaur comes to life and helps him deal with a troubled family life.

"Monster Maker", in which an alienated teenager begins secretly working at a special-effects company.

The faux film noir "Dog City", narrated by Muppet Rowlf the Dog.

Three of the twelve installments were hour-long mini-movies: The room where Henson and the Thought Lion performed their introduction was computer animated. Beyond that, the series never had a set structure. At the beginning of each episode, Jim Henson would enter an oddly-decorated set (alongside the Thought Lion puppet from his series The Storyteller) and introduce the evening's show. The Jim Henson Hour was modeled after the Walt Disney Presents specials, in which every week Disney would show off the latest innovations and creations of his production company. After The Jim Henson Hour, the Muppets did not have another prime-time TV show until Muppets Tonight in 1996, six years after Jim Henson's death. Two episodes later aired on Nickelodeon in 19, and the final episode "Food" never aired anywhere. Nine of the twelve episodes produced aired on NBC before the program was canceled due to low ratings. It was developed as a showcase for The Jim Henson Company's various puppet creations, including the Muppet characters. The Jim Henson Hour is a television series that aired on NBC in 1989.
