Muppets TV Muppets TV is a French television series featuring the Muppets , which first broadcast over TF1 on October 29 , 2006 and aired its last episode on December 31 of the same year . In contrast to the earlier " Le Muppet Show " ( the title also used for the pilot ) , this series contained original content featuring the Muppets interacting with French celebrities , rather than a re - dub of an existing series . The series sprung from a 2005 deal which French radio comedian / producer Sébastien Cauet and French network TF1 made with the Walt Disney Company . The actual puppets were sent to France , and Cauet supplied the voice of Kermit ( using a blend of French Kermit Roger Carel ' s voice and Jim Henson ' s characterization ) . Other of Cauet ' s radio colleagues supplied character voices , while French puppeteers , led by Yves Brunier , supplied the actual puppetry . The 15 minute pilot debuted over TF1 in November , 2005 , with French actor / humorist Franck Dubosc as the featured guest . Segments included a parody of the French TV series " Mon Incroyable Fiancé " ( retitled " Mon Incroyable Muppet " ) and Miss Piggy , ever sensual , pursuing guest star Dubosc . The show was set on a talk show stage , rather than a run - down theatre . The full series aired Sundays at 5 : 30pm as a 45 minute block , and in 5 minute segments Monday through Friday , taken from the best sketches and bits . In contrast to " The Muppet Show " , and more in keeping with " Muppets Tonight " , each episode featured two guest stars . The series also made extensive use of the established Muppet cast . The primary cast went beyond Kermit , Piggy , Fozzie , Gonzo , and Statler and Waldorf and featured " classic " Muppets including Scooter , Rowlf , Dr . Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker , the full ensemble of Dr . Teeth and the Electric Mayhem , the Swedish Chef , Clifford and the Newsman , as well as Denise , a new character recycled from the Loni Dunne puppet , and several other Whatnots . 10 full 45 - minute episodes were produced in 2006 for the first batch of shows . However due to station management changes and poor ratings , TF1 opted not to order a second set of " Muppets TV " episodes .
