The Muppets: One Million Moms Group Says Show Is 'Perverted'

“ABC has ruined “The Muppets,” claim the One Million Moms. (That group was the one behind the boycott in 2012 of J.C. Penney JCP 0.11% when that retailer featured same-sex couples in its inserts.)

The Muppets when I was young was a PBS/Private donations production. When it went totally commercial including a Hollywood movie, it's reason for being, education for preschoolers, ended. I think this was about the time Henson died.

What a youngster. Prior to Sesame Street, the Muppets were part of the original SNL shows. Before that, Rawlf was on the Jimmy Dean Show.

I got the Muppets tied in with Sesame Street incorrectly, I just read that Henson waived his fees for his work on the show

Quote:
Henson was initially reluctant, but he agreed to join Sesame Street to meet his own social goals. He also agreed to waive his performance fee for full ownership of the Sesame Street Muppets and to split any revenue they generated with the CTW.[67] As Morrow stated, Henson's puppets were a crucial part of the show's popularity and it brought Henson national attention.[85

Million Moms didn't matter.

TV Ratings: 'The Muppets' Tops 'Scream Queens' in Premiere Week's Tuesday Debuts - Hollywood Reporter

The debut of the ABC comedy averaged a robust 2.8 rating among adults 18-49 and nearly 9 million viewers.
