Sam and Friends

A few surviving episodes can be viewed at the Paley Center for Media but many can also be found on video websites like YouTube,[1][2] such as those digitally archived by The Jim Henson Company.

Later, formal sketches were drawn up, many spoofing well-known television shows at the time, including the series which followed Sam and Friends in the Washington market, The Huntley–Brinkley Report.

A popular early sketch that would be used often in subsequent Henson productions was "Glowworm", in which a character, often Kermit, would nibble on what looked like a worm, but would ultimately turn out to be the tongue or nose of the monster Big V, who would devour him.

In August 2010, Jane Henson donated ten puppets from the show (including the original Kermit) to the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

[6] Yorick made a visual appearance in the 2021 Muppet Babies episode "Summer's Disaster-Piece", where he replaces the head on Thomas Gainsborough's painting The Blue Boy.

Harry : Man, you're just a beginner. I'm an old hand at this stuff. Watch!
Kermit : Hey, a real watch!
Harry : With moving parts, no less. [ 4 ]
