The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence aired on ABC in 1975 which was a parody of the topic of sex and violence on TV.

The opening of the show featured Jaye P. Morgan with the guest saying “This is not gonna be just another cute puppet show.” The episode followed the adventures of Sam the Eagle, Dr. Teeth, and The Electric Mayhem bassist Floyd Peter.
