The Day They Turned
After serving two tours of duty in the shitty prequel to WWIII going on in the Middle East, the last thing Terry Westmore expected to come home to was a broken family, unemployment, and the god damn zombie apocalypse looming around the corner. At first he’d tried to fit in, taking some private contractor jobs handling security and loss prevention duties for a few shit-don’t-stink fat cats, but ultimately his “attitude problems” and growing disrespect for authority got in the way of him keeping any permanent occupational residency. That was fine with him, he’d always gotten by, and some odd jobs, mostly involving back breaking manual labor, helped in the lean months.

The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, Early TV Pilot Aimed at Adults

In 1975, a half-hour variety show titled The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence piloted on ABC television but it was going after an older audience. According to Muppet Wiki, it was a “parody the proliferation of sex and violence on television”. There’s a lot of interesting things going on in the pilot (I believe I see a Jim Henson-looking Muppet playing the banjo in the end credits) and definitely worth checking out. It is not truly an early version of the The Muppet Show but it definitely shares elements and might be considered more of a first draft. The Onion’s AV Club goes into more details about this pilot and the other similar pilot, The Muppets Valentine Show.
