Introduction episodes

The first episodes of many Henson series are treated like regular episodes, that could easily air later in the show's run without confusion, as opposed to episodes that properly introduce the format of the series. This list is for shows that began with introduction episodes setting the premise or backstory of the series, as well as episodes that mark a proper introduction for a character's debut.
==Series that began with introductory episodes==
*Sesame Street - Episode 0001
*Fraggle Rock - "Beginnings"
*Little Muppet Monsters - "In the Beginning"
*Dinosaurs - "The Mighty Megalosaurus
*Muppets Tonight - Episode 101: Michelle Pfeiffer
*Farscape - "Premiere"
==Episodes that introduce characters==
A listing of episodes of shows that properly introduce characters to the cast. This is not a list of first appearances. Some characters who had introduction episodes actually did appear on their respective shows before their introduction episodes. This list does not include flashback sequences or one-shot characters.
