In 1971 the brilliant Jim Henson and his stable of Muppets appeared on The Dick Cavett Show and essentially took over the production of a wonderfully amusing and informative Thanksgiving special. Throughout the show, Henson gave interviews, offered a look behind-the-costumes and demonstrated how the Muppets were brought to life.
