Маппет Шоу - комедийный телевизионный сериал, созданный кукловодом Джимом Хенсоном и показывающий Маппетов. После того, как два экспериментальных эпизода, выпущенные в 1974 и 1975 годах, не смогли привлечь внимание руководителей сетей Америки, Лью Грэйд обратился к Хенсону с просьбой подготовить программу для его франшизы ATV Associated Television в Великобритании.
