Jim Henson started performing with puppets in high school, and had his first television appearance during the summer before college. From the beginning, he decided to refer to his puppets as Muppets.

Henson received his big break when his company signed a deal to provide puppetry services to Public Broadcasting System’s Sesame Street.The success of his puppetry on Sesame Street led to the opportunity to create The Muppet Show, which became the most widely watched variety show in the world during the 70s.

Time magazine said of his creations: “The beauty of the Muppets, on both Sesame Street and their own show, was that they were cuddly (but not too cuddly) and not only cuddly. There is satire and sly wit; Bert and Ernie quarrel; Miss Piggy behaves unbecomingly; Kermit is sometimes exasperated. By adding just enough tartness to a sweet overall spirit, Henson purveyed a kind of innocence that was plausible for the modern imagination. His knowingness allowed us to accept his real gifts: wonder, delight, optimism.”
