'''Pigs''' have held various roles in Muppet productions. They've appeared as ancillary characters such as [[dancers]] and singers on ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', and have also taken on major roles.
   
  ⚫
''[[Sesame Street]]'' has maintained its own set of pigs over the years. The series initially used a variation of the [[Little Anything Muppets|Hot Pink]] AM pattern (still retained for certain characters), and later introduced a group of four-legged, semi-realistic pigs, who could be used as farmyard oinkers or in speaking roles, as the need demanded.

In addition, there were several unnamed pigs who appeared in a variety of sketches and musical numbers, including as [[Dancers|dancers]] in [[At the Dance]] sketches. The first season of ''The Muppet Show'' featured six such generic pigs. More were added in later seasons. A [[Live Animals Who Have Appeared on The Muppet Show|live pig]] also appeared in [[Episode 215: Lou Rawls|episode 215]].

Pigs have held various roles in Muppet productions. They've appeared as ancillary characters such as dancers and singers on The Muppet Show, and have also taken on major roles.

Sesame Street has maintained its own set of pigs over the years. The series initially used a variation of the Hot Pink AM pattern (still retained for certain characters), and later introduced a group of four-legged, semi-realistic pigs, who could be used as farmyard oinkers or in speaking roles, as the need demanded.
