Miss Piggy on Sesame Street?

[BEAR]

Forgive me if this has been addressed already, but in my Ethics class, my teacher said that Miss Piggy was removed from the Israel version of Sesame Street because pork is offensive to them (or something like that). Now, correct me if I am wrong, but was Miss Piggy ever on Sesame Street?? I didn't think so, but today I was not in the mood to argue it. Thanks.

He probably meant "The Muppet Show". I think Kermit only referenced Piggy once on SS, in an Old McDonald News Flash.

Yeah- Kermit definitely remarked to a pig in the "Old MacDonald" sketch with the Yip Yip aliens that she reminded him of something.
Also, a picture of Miss Piggy (kinda the 1st. Season TMS look) has shown up in a sketch on Sesame Street in the background. I've got a picture of it somewhere- I can upload when I get home if you like.

I recall seeing a Miss Piggy type on Sesame Street.It was almost how she was, except she had bead like eyes.I beleive this is how Piggy started looking when she was just a background singer.

That would be good, Gonzo. If it shows Miss Piggy's first season look, the sketch would probably be from 1976. If it's possible, maybe you could put up some other pics from that sketch so we know which one it is. Just a thought.

Well, there are the Oinker Sisters as well, most prominently featured in "New Way to Walk."
