 In this anthology show, roughly half of the thirteen episodes revolved around "Muppet Central", a television station run by the Muppets, while the other half were more eclectic pieces: The Storyteller who told his dogs stories based on traditional folktales; The Monster Maker, about a boy who wants to work in a creature effects shop; Living With Dinosaurs where a boy has a talking dinosaur doll; Lighthouse Island, the story of a young man and a mermaid; Song of the Cloud Forest where a tree frog attempts to stop his own extinction; Dog City the adventures of a canine gumshoe; and the Secrets of the Muppets wherein Jim Henson personally reveals all the secrets of Muppet design, construction, camera-tricks, and operation.
