The Muppets have captivated audience members since their conception by Jim Henson in 1955. Now, the beloved Mups have their own TV show, premiering tonight on ABC. Who’s watching?

To help you prepare for The Muppets TV premiere, we’re taking a look back at their greatest musical moments. Remember when Jason Segel forced himself to figure out if he was a man or a muppet?
