 Kermit the Frog tries to run a Variety show in the Muppet Theater. Working against him are Statler and Waldorf, the two heckler s who always were in the same balcony and Scooter s uncle who owned the theater. Miss Piggy, who was boosted to superstardom from this show, wanted to be a star and would do anything to get that, including karate-chopping anyone who got in her way. Some of the often used skits included "Muppet News Flash," "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian s Hospital" and "At the Dance."
