    Premise: Depiction of a Muppet-produced vaudeville show and its behind-the-scenes chaos

Why Muppet Show might be annoying:

    It relied heavily on awful puns for its comedy.
    It was incredibly violent, with Muppets often exploding, being eaten, or ‘dying’ in other horrible ways.
    It sometimes had weird ‘adult’ elements, such as male Muppets drooling over a scantily-clad Raquel Welch.
    Between Kermit and Miss Piggy’s fling and Gonzo’s pursuit of Camilla, there was a lot of inter-species action going on.
    Despite its overwhelming American influence, the show was produced in England.
    It had such a hard time getting celebrity guests at one point that a ‘Muppet Show’ writer once appeared as a ‘guest star.’
    It created a cult of personality around the obnoxious character of Miss Piggy.
    It spun off the flop ‘Muppets Tonight’ and the irritating kids’ version ‘Muppet Babies.’
    The rights to the episodes and characters were sold to Disney.
