The Muppet Show, a half-hour long musical comedy variety show, aired on TV from 1976-1981. The action in each episode included onstage acts and frantic backstage activity among emcee Kermit the Frog, his Muppet friends and a live celebrity. The creation of puppeteer Jim Henson, The Muppet Show introduced us to many endearing characters, many of whom are being celebrated with caches in and around the Whitnall Park/Root River Parkway area.
Robin
Robin is Kermit the Frog’s nephew. When he’s not camping with the Frog Scouts, Robin likes to hang around with his Uncle Kermit at the show. In one of his most memorable Muppet Show appearances, Robin sings “Halfway up the Stairs,” a song based on a poem by Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne. Check it out by clicking Here.
