Basado en el éxito de ventas homónimo, "Street Gang" explora cómo el creador Joan Ganz Cooney, el director Jon Stone y el legendario creador de marionetas Jim Henson (entre otras figuras importantes) se unieron para crear una serie de televisión para niños que acabaría convirtiéndose en un revolucionario fenómeno cultural. Tras descubrir el poder de este medio para captar la atención de los más pequeños de la casa, estos visionarios decidieron emplear su poder para algo bueno, o lo que es lo mismo: en ofrecer contenidos de aprendizaje y no simples productos de consumo. Más de 50 años después, la serie se ha emitido en más de 150 países de todo el mundo, y sigue entreteniendo al mismo tiempo que educa a las nuevas generaciones.

An American institution turns fifty, and the disc release to mark the event is a very long (almost six hours) compendium of uncut historical segments from the show, without overdubs — Disc one features musical highlights and disc two dramatic and comedic highlights. It’s terrific background material, especially the music disc with the favorite characters both human and muppet. Plus some of my nostalgic favorites — it helps if you once had a baby or toddler in your lap, clapping along with you for these things. I can’t think of a better way to honor the show, and am ready for a followup, with more favorite segments.

Los eventos clave incluyen su temprano trabajo televisivo con los Muppets cuando aún era estudiante en la Universidad de Maryland, su trabajo comercial y apariciones en redes a fines de la década de 1950 y principios de 1960, su avance con Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock y su innovador películas de fantasía, Dark Crystal and Labyrinth. Entre los entrevistados para el episodio de Jim Henson están sus hijos, Lisa, Cheryl, Brian y Heather Henson, los actores Neil Patrick Harris y Candice Bergen, Willard Scott, el director John Landis, el exdirector general de Disney, Michael Eisner, y los miembros del elenco de Sesame Street Bob McGrath y Carroll Spinney.

Muppet Performer
Long before America came to appreciate the talents of Jim Henson and his brilliant creations, The Muppets, Ed Sullivan had the foresight to identify with Henson's enormous creativity and provide him an opportunity to introduce his unique characters to the American public. With Henson's first appearance on September 18, 1966, The Muppets began to capture America's imagination, breaking down our old conceptions of what could be done with puppetry, challenging us to embrace these creatures as living and thinking beings. Not only does this program introduce us to Kermit, we can also see the beginnings of other Henson characters we've come to know and love, including reindeer discussing Christmas deliveries, singing cows, a monster engulfing a computer, and Kermit swallowing a worm. The charm and warmth that captured children and adults when these inventive segments first aired are just as powerful and compelling today. As you will see... The Muppets' charm and lore are timeless!

En otro mundo, en otro tiempo... En la época de la fantasía... habitaban el mundo unos seres llamados Urskeks, que vivían en paz y armonía... Hasta que uno de ellos dañó el centro de su mundo, su más preciado tesoro: el Cristal Oscuro. Su mundo cambió a partir de ese momento. Los Urskeks se dividieron en dos razas, los sabios Místicos, que viven en continua meditación apartados de la sociedad, y los malvados Skeksis, quienes reinan sobre la tierra, dominando a todas las razas con su crueldad. Místicos y Skeksis viven interconectados: cada uno de ellos tiene una contrapartida en la raza opuesta. Así, cuando un Místico sufre una herida su Skeksis correspondiente recibe el mismo daño, y cuando muere un Skeksis muere un Místico del mismo modo, y viceversa.
