Inside the Head

"Inside the Head" was a recurring Muppet segment on the Henson Company's television series CityKids. The segment features a cast of three Muppet characters based on Freudian ideas. The characters are shown in a spaceship-like control room that is actually the working mind. The characters included the Captain, his Lieutenant, and the wild Libido. These characters embodied the Freudian principles of ego (Captain), super-ego (Lieutenant) and id (Libido).
The concept of the segment is very similar to the proposed Starboppers television series developed by Jim Henson in the 1980s.
The pilot episode for the series used a different set of puppets for the characters. All six puppets were later recycled by the Jim Henson Company in Puppet Up! and other Henson Alternative shows and appearances (including a performance with Cee Lo Green at the 2011 Grammy Awards).
