You voted and the winner of Hollywood Suite’s “As Seen on TV” Movie Madness
bracket is…THE MUPPET MOVIE (1979)! “The Muppet Show” premiered in 1976 and
throughout its five seasons, 120 episodes and 4 Primetime Emmy Wins, made
television and comedy history with its affectionately anarchic, vaudeville-inspired
mixture of puppetry arts and incomparable musical performances. When Hollywood
came calling in 1979, Jim Henson, director James Frawley, and writer Jerry Juhl created
the ultimate road movie, incorporating elements of the romance, thriller, science fiction,
and western genres. But at heart, THE MUPPET MOVIE is about comradery, leaving
your comfort zones (i.e. the swamp), and realizing your greatest dreams. What could
have been a simple movie-version of a ratings juggernaut, instead became an Oscar-
nominated, iconic masterpiece of New Hollywood meets the family film. Join Kermit, his
gang, and all the lovers and dreamers as Hollywood Suite’s Movie Madness celebrates
THE MUPPET MOVIE.
Part of the Hollywood Suite series!
