Spoof from The Muppets Go to the Movies.
A FOX executive in The Muppets rejects the Muppets' show pitch.
The FOX Broadcasting Company is a TV network which began in 1986. The Jim Henson Company produced a number of shows for FOX, including Dog City and The Animal Show, and reruns of Muppet Babies ran daily from 1991 until 1992. CinderElmo was also originally broadcast on this network. Additionally, Farscape was originally planned to be shown on FOX (where it was going to be titled Space Chase), and in 2002, FOX made a deal with Henson to air an all-new Muppet show, which never reached fruition.[1]
