Each segment was introduced by Robin announcing, "It's Muppet Time!" as a Muppet alarm clock would dance wildly while ticking, and then it would break down as its alarm goes off.
Some recurring situations on Muppet Time include the Frog Scouts, Milton, and Kirby and Jeffy, the Two Little Pigs. Robin was the only major Muppet character to appear in these segments, in both the introduction and in the Frog Scouts segments.
Muppet performers for the segments include Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, David Rudman, Joey Mazzarino, Peter Linz and Alice Dinnean.
The segments later aired on Family Channel in Canada, which aired repeats of Muppets Tonight at the time, and Disney Channel in Australia.
