Name: Sam and Friends
Genre: Family
Rating: 6.8
Cast: Jim Henson, Paul Frees, Jane Henson

This was the first ever muppet show and, although very close to being cancelled multiple times, was very entertaining for many. The characters are strange, fun and wacky like Sam, Harry the Hipster, Yorick, Kermit and others have a great chemistry together. In my opinion, I think that this show is a lot better than other shows on TV nowadays and can have a nice atmosphere and can be like ASMR. The show also had these fun commercials at the end of episodes advertising Esskay meats. What's sad about this show is that alot of the episodes are either missing, not recorded or destroyed but at least there are still documents and images of certain episodes and I think that's the best we're gonna get. I've rated this show a 10/10 because I'm very interested in seeing more episodes of the show and Jim Henson's other early works.

The family genre features stories specifically created to be suitable for a wide range of age groups within a family.
