EPISODE SYNOPSIS: Kermit, everyone's favorite frog is turning 50 and looking as green as ever. To celebrate it, British ITV network featured a special simply titled "BEST EVER MUPPET MOMENTS". Kermit first appeared in the 1950s in TV commercials but it was in the 1970s that gained world fame as the host of the much acclaimed "THE MUPPET SHOW", drawing an audience of over 200-million viewers in more than 100 countries. At the height of the show's popularity, a large list of celebrities appeared as guest-star on the show. Among those celebrities obviously was our lovely Lynda Carter which appeared on episode 91 of the fourth season in 1980. Lynda performed two songs "RUBBER BAND MAN" and "FLASH! BAM! ALCAZAM!" and the episode remains among the favorites moments of "THE MUPPET SHOW". 26 years later Lynda Carter is featured again on "BEST EVER MUPPET MOMENTS" and admitted "this is so much fun... I'd like to do it again..."

			TRIVIA:	[•] Created by Jim Henson (who voiced Kermit), The Muppets drew a worldwide audience of 200 million in 100 countries in the late 1970s. Kermit and friends had crossed the big pond to seek fame in the UK when US TV stations said the show would never work. The rest, as they say, is history.
				[•] Thanks to legendary British TV boss Lew Grade, The Muppets made England their home and every Sunday, they pulled in an audience of 14 million viewers to ITV.
				[•] Originally made from some ping pong balls and an old coat, Kermit first appeared on commercials and in TV shows in America in the 1950s. It wasn't until 1976 that he became an international superstar as host of The Muppet Show, wrestling week after week with the endless problems caused by his very strange friends as they tried to put on a show.
