This may seem a bit of a strange inclusion to some, but there is no doubting that the 'child' show was more adult. With a range of talents covering dancing, music, comedy and film and TV, The Muppets became an institution for the whole family. From the Kermit & Miss Piggy romance to Gonzo The Great, and Animal to the Swedish Chef, everyone has a favourite, and each favourite will likely stand out in the memory because of one scene.
For me, Animal playing the drums for Rita Moreno singing Fever stands out most for me, and Spike Milligan translating the news broadcast for the Newsreader is another stand out guest appearance, and as a third clip of choice, I cannot go past Mah Na Mah Na, a truly timeless comic sketch.
The show ran for 5 seasons in the Seventies, and actually starred a lot of relative unknowns who became bigger in time. But when you have a cast responsible for some of the most memorable TV moments, who cared?
-
- Elton John singing Crocodile Rock
- Kenny Rogers singing The Gambler
- The Star Wars cast on Pigs In Space
- The drum duel between Animal and Buddy Rich

But to close up, here are some other classic sketches with only the Muppets;
