Billy Galvin

Billy Galvin is a 1986 theatrical film produced by the PBS series American Playhouse (airing on the TV series two years later). It focuses on the conflict between aging steelworker Jack Galvin and his son Billy.
Two scenes feature Jack Galvin watching The Muppet Show. Just before his son Billy whistles outside the window of his apartment, Jack is watching Kermit the Frog fire Miss Piggy in episode 502. When his wife comes to answer the call, Jack pretends to be asleep and she turns the TV off. Later, while recuperating with a broken arm, Jack falls asleep with the television on, showing the phrenology act from episode 216. His wife switches the set off right after Fozzie declares Kermit is a very flexible person. He protests, "Hey, I was watching that!"
The end credits acknowledge Henson Associates, Inc. for the clip.
