'The Muppots' supply
ideal family viewing
by Beatrice Grots
3 The'" music Is a ' romantic tango. A young,
immature-looking pig is dancing with a . matronly,
well-dressed porker. Both are in evening clothes. She
says, "For a teenager, you're very mature." He replies,
"I've been shaving over a year now!" "Oh, feally?" she
asks. "Yeah," he responds, "and I cut rnyself both
times." '
This is the kind of zaniness and humor. that 'The
Muppet Show' serves up.
Tight writing makes Jim Hanson's Muppets seem
real enough and smart enough to pull you into their
fantasy world and then give a line that snaps you back,
reminding you that you are being played with. This
makes the show enchanting even for adults.
According to the New York Times magazine, "The
Muppets have achieved global popularity." The show is
the most popular syndicated TV program In the U.S. and
has 235 million viewers in 102 countries.
One source of delight in the Muppets is the, word
play and literary satire; One number, for example, was
called 'The Rhyming Song,' but none of the lines rhymed.
You enjoy the fun of being teased, but the song abo calls
attention to the cornlness of June-moon poetry.
Much has been ' done to develop believable
characterizations for the Muppets. Kermit the Frog is a
hardworking, sincere master of ceremonies who is easy
io identify with. Gopher, whose uncle owns the Muppets'
theatre, is likeable, even though he owes his job to
nepotism.
The script writers have a way with words and
feelings. They can create great sympathy for a lonely,
vulnerable creature, and e child will find it warm and
encouraging to see that lonesome 'individual' cuddled by
a celebrity guest star. The guests, incidentally, run the1
gamut, from Nureyev and Roy Rogers, to Raquel Welch
and Harry Beiafonte the big names In the seven Nvety
arts are eager to appear with these inanimate but lively
personalities.
' The artists who make these puppet-people come
aOve do so with great subtlety. They can convey shadings
of emotion with Tittle gestures or flamboyant actions that
no real person could achieve. 7 . : l3
. Because the program has so much charm for adults
as welt as children, it is ideal family viewing. Grownups
as well as youngsters can respond to the assert! veness
of Miss Piggy. And a popular poster shows, that dramatic
character advocating Pig Power, v
Arr Interesting quality of 'The Muppet Show', is the
characters are able to poke fun at it. "I like that last
number," says the cantankerous Mr. Statier. "What did
you like about it?" asks the equally dubious Mr. Hilton.
"It was the last number." he quIds.
