Description: Pilot Month 2026 rolls on with this Jim Henson entry, which aired during the 1987 installment of CBS Summer Playhouse. Like at least one other pilot we have previously covered, this pilot dealt with the happenings at a children's TV show, as well as the personal lives off-camera. Like at least that one other pilot, it became a footnote in TV history.
