What happens

Muppets Tonight is an American live-action/puppet family-oriented comedy television series, created by Jim Henson Productions and featuring the Muppets. The series ran for two seasons between March 8, 1996 to February 8, 1998, originally airing on ABC before later being aired and rerun on the Disney Channel. The show was a continuation of The Muppet Show as the sixth and seventh seasons overall, with Kermit the Frog and the Muppets running their own television channel and studio. The series brought back several Muppet characters from The Muppet Show while introducing several new ones to the program, and made parodies of television programs ranging from game shows, talk shows, and educational entertainment. Each episode featured one principal guest star, but a number of episodes also featured additional guest stars; one episode featured a cameo from Leonard Nimoy. Muppets Tonight received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
