I loved Pigs in Space and Miss Piggy in general! Thanks for the memories. This used to air early Saturday evening (6:30/7ish) when I was growing up.....we were eating TV dinners or hot dogs/ beans because my mother was usually working. Great entertainment.
Scooter's "uncle" owned the theater, and he wasn't shy about using that fact with Kermit when he had an idea (usually a bad one).
The Muppets were also a part of the first season of Saturday Night Live. That may be where they proved that they could work with adults (both on stage and the audience), even if they weren't the right fit on SNL.
As a young girl, my whole family gathered around the TV on Sunday evenings to watch The Muppet Show together. I got the DVDs out of the library for my kids, but it's a shame Disney doesn't make this show more accessible. My kids loved it so much. I just explained to my son that I was having a hard time at a work meeting because "I felt like the Gonzo in the room" and he understood exactly what I meant. (Although personality wise I'm more of a Fozzie and he's more of a Gonzo). Thanks for the great memories!
