Quotes on the Muppets as adult - oriented characters The success of " Sesame Street " was a mixed - blessing for Jim Henson as it established the Muppets , and Jim Henson , as children ' s entertainment . Henson ’ s career had always been geared toward family and adult audiences and suddenly he was labeled the number one performer for kids . Henson continued to struggle to gain acceptance for the Muppets as adult - oriented , not just children ’ s , entertainment . Henson commented : “ It ’ s something I ' ve always faced , this slight condescension toward puppets . . . It ’ s always been practically impossible to talk the networks into any kind of puppet show for adults . We ’ re never thought of for prime time . It ’ s always a vehicle for kids . " Author / illusrator Maurice Sendak sympathized with Henson ’ s sense of being labeled as only one kind of artist . Said Sendak , “ Because all artists are pigeon - holed , everybody , whatever they do for a living , they ’ re pigeon - holed . . . He agreed with me about the frustration and it hurt him very much .
