The Jim Henson Hour was developed as a showcase for the Jim Henson Company's various puppet creations, including the popular Muppet characters. This hour-long anthology series was hosted by Jim Henson and generally included two segments. The first segment,"Muppetelevision," included comedy skits starring the Muppets, as well as frequent guest appearances by popular entertainers. The second segment often featured rebroadcasts of original, Henson-created productions, such as episodes from Jim Henson's "The StoryTeller" anthology series.
Jim Henson ProductionsAlthough only lasting for one season, this show had a lasting impact on all Jim Henson fans. From giving us a look at the behind the scenes, to giving birth to the fabulous Story Teller series, this show jumped from musical numbers, to social commentary, to silly off the wall fun without missing a beat.
