What was the original name of their TV show?

  • Opening Soon at a Theater Near You

  • Sneak Previews

  • At the Movies

  • Siskel & Ebert

Answer

Opening Soon at a Theater Near You was the original title of the TV show that later became known as "The Muppet Show." The name change occurred before the show's premiere, as executives at the network felt that the original title was too long and did not accurately reflect the content of the show.
