Muppets as british as fish n chips

[Barry Lee]

The fact is, TMS is not only british, or american, it is universal.

True, but it was made for american audiences.

The Muppets Are American.

To the British, the Muppets are very British. To the Americans, it is American.

Conclusion: It is both.

It was backed by a very british british person, and created by an american. Filmed in britian, for an american audience.

Simply stating that it is American does not make it so any more than stating that fish are chips...or visa versa.

Either way, they are tasty.

And either way, the Muppet show has a very british sence of humour tht appeals to americans, and is loved by the world!

This seems to be a rather pointless argument...

THE MUPPET SHOW IS BRITISH, It was filmed in Britian, Directed by British, It was shown to British Audiences first, Muppet Show merchandising went on sale in Britain first.

Well the Muppet Show has a very british concept to it in the tradition of Music Hall. But let us not forget that a lot of the vernacular and most importantly the Accents are American!
Yes it was a British production,and also an overnight success with plenty of Merchandising to back it up,but alot of the characterisation has it's roots in America.

Muppets aren't British, they're universal.
