The Muppet Show was created and produced by the late Jim Henson where it ran on-air for five seasons from 1976 to 1981. All five seasons are available for streaming on Disney+. In 2004, The Walt Disney Company successfully acquired the rights to Jim Henson’s beloved Muppet characters including Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, for a reported $75 million acquisition deal.
