The Muppets became a global phenomenon with "The Muppet Show."  An old style variety show format, filled with songs, sketches and famous guest stars, introduced Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rizzo, Pepe, the great diva herself, Miss Piggy, and a whole host of unforgettable characters.  Presided over by the usually unflappable, Kermit the Frog, the Muppets have also starred in movies and their sensational, inspirational, muppetational star shows no sign of dimming.
