Sam and Friends - Muppet Wiki |
 | | Sam and Friends was Jim Henson's first television show, a five-minute show that aired twice daily on WRC-TV, the NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C. The show ran from May 9, 1955 to December 15, 1961. |
 | | The series was heavily reliant, particularly in its earliest installments, on puppet characters lip-synching to records, usually novelty songs or comedy routines from the likes of Stan Freberg, Bob and Ray, Spike Jones, and Louis Prima, amongst others. |
 | | However, of the surviving episodes, Sam's sole appearance is lip-synching to Prima's "Old Black Magic." A more enduring star of the series was Kermit, not yet a frog, and often performing in a wig. |
