In 1954, when Jim Henson created the first Muppet, he probably never dreamed that his wide-mouthed, brightly colored brainchildren would go on to host their own television show for five years (much less have a starring role on another for forty years and counting) -- and the kids who grew up with films like The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan probably didn't realize how spoiled they were. In addition, the Muppets pioneered the type of tongue-in-cheek double entendres -- so popular in kids' movies today -- that fly right over the heads of children so the adults can have a little chuckle all their own.
