Lost on Earth

Lost on Earth is a sitcom that aired for one season on the USA Network in 1997. The series centered on a former news reporter (played by Tim Conlon) who is demoted to hosting a puppet-based children's show, featuring puppets that are actually trans-dimensional beings from another world.
The Muppets factor greatly into the central conceit of the series. In the premiere episode, "They're Alive," reporter David Rudy encounters the living puppets in storage and they explain their presence on Earth. While traveling through time and space, the crew were receiving television signals from Earth to study what forms to take to best fit in. But, as one character explains, "those hideous Muppets were on," which forced their transformation into puppets.
The puppeteers and crew for the show include many Henson and Muppet alumni.
