Trivia:
The character of Miss Piggy was originally alternately played by Richard Hunt and Frank Oz. As the character grew in popularity, a hesitant Oz took on sole performer status. He once remarked that Piggy was such an intense and over-the-top woman, she could only be played by a man. moreQuotes:

If for no other reason than to remind us who our stars were in the mid-late 70s, the Muppet Show must be returned to syndication.
This was a brilliantly-written adult puppet show, with enough obvious laughs to satisfy the larvae and plenty of innuendo and hidden punch lines to absolutely mystify most adults.
Fantastic. We MUST have this series back.
