The Muppet Show: Season One
The Muppet Show: Season One, 1976-1977. The Muppets put on a weekly variety show.
Created by Jim Henson. Directed by Peter Harris. Written by Jack Burns, Henson, Jerry Juhl, & Marc London. Starring various guest stars, with Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Dave Goelz, Eren Ozker, & John Lovelady.
Concept: A

Cinematography: C

Acting: B

Enjoyment: Most of the guest stars are not so great, the production is on the rough side, and the writing is rarely anything more than a series of very bad puns. But they make up for any shortcomings with pure, unadulterated weirdness. And bucketloads of charm. A+
GPA: 3.4/4
