[post_page_title]The Muppets made their debut in 1955[/post_page_title]
The first time that the muppets ever took to the stage was in 1955 when they appeared on Jim Henson’s live action/puppet show Sam and Friends. The show was broadcasted on NBC affiliate WRC-TV in Washington DC from 1955-1961. Sadly, it is almost impossible to watch the irreverent beginnings of The Muppets, as most of the episodes were wiped from tapes immediately after airing.
