Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The immense popularity of The Muppets they created for Sesame Street gave Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl and Frank Oz the impetus to create a variety show for family viewing, but with social and political satire. ABC aired a pair of Pilot specials, The Muppets Valentine Show (1974) and The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence (1975), but when all the U.S. networks rejected their (frankly awesome) pitch for a weekly series, they instead finagled a distribution deal with Britain's ITC, under the auspices of Lord Lew Grade. |
