About The Muppet Show

Venture behind the velvet curtains of the Muppet Theater, where Kermit the Frog, the perpetually stressed stage manager, and his eccentric ensemble of Muppets are perpetually on the brink of comedic disaster. Each week, a celebrity guest joins the madness, becoming entangled in the Muppets chaotic attempts to produce a spectacular variety show. Expect musical numbers, outlandish sketches, and plenty of unexpected surprises as the Muppets deliver a unique blend of mayhem and heartwarming entertainment. From Miss Piggys diva-like demands to Gonzos bizarre stunts, nothing ever goes according to plan, but the show always goes on!

Created by the visionary Jim Henson, The Muppet Show boasts a cast of incredibly talented puppeteers. Jim Henson voices Kermit the Frog, the show's ever-patient host and emcee. Frank Oz performs Miss Piggy, the glamorous and assertive pig with a flair for drama, as well as Fozzie Bear, the relentlessly optimistic but often unsuccessful comedian. Jerry Nelson brings to life a range of characters, including the Count von Count, known for his obsession with numbers. Dave Goelz is responsible for Gonzo, the daredevil performance artist with a penchant for the unusual. Richard Hunt animates Scooter, the stage manager who keeps things running, and Statler, one half of the heckling duo. Eren Ozker was the original performer of Janice, the groovy guitarist in Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Bypass Geo-Restrictions: Many streaming services are geographically restricted. If you’re traveling outside the U.S., a VPN can make it appear as if you’re still in the country, giving you access to your subscriptions.
- Avoid ISP Throttling: Your internet provider might slow down your connection during high-bandwidth activities like streaming. A VPN encrypts your activity, preventing your ISP from throttling your speeds and ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience.
- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.

How to get started with ExpressVPN:

- Sign Up: Purchase an ExpressVPN subscription.
- Download: Install the ExpressVPN app on your device.
- Connect: Open the app and connect to a server in the U.S.
- Stream: Log in to your streaming service and enjoy watching your favorite shows securely!
