Following appearances on late night talk shows and advertising commercials during the 1960s, the Muppets began appearing on Sesame Street in 1969. The Muppets then became the stars of multiple television series and films, including The Muppet Show (1976–1981), The Muppet Movie (1979), The Great Muppet Caper (1981), and The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984).
Characters
The Muppets are known for an extensive cast of characters, including Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Rizzo the Rat, and Animal. Each character has a unique personality and role within the group.
Legacy
The Muppets have been a significant part of popular culture since their creation, influencing the fields of television, film, music, and beyond. They have received recognition from various cultural institutions and organizations, including the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Museum of Modern Art.
