All the Muppets (except the ones who could not make it) gather together to celebrate their (at that time) 30 year history. Most of them are wearing tuxedos, even the gang from Sesame street and Sprocket and Traveling Matt from `Fraggle Rock' (To preserve continuity, the Fraggles, Gorgs and Doozers remain blissfully unaware of this gathering).
This is of course nothing more than a clip show, but what a sensational selection of clips!. Kermit the Frog and all the regulars take turns introducing a lot of great compilations of everything they were ever involved in, from `Sam and Friends' to `Muppet Babies'. Many comedic gems pass by so quickly that it leaves you wanting more, especially the early material and almost forgotten stuff, such as their stint on `Saturday Night Life' (shown for about 2 seconds).
Although the constant praising of Kermit starts to get a little bit tedious, you know the one they are really thanking is Jim Henson, for realizing his dreams. And to drive this argument home, the man himself appears near the end when Grover the waiter presents him with the bill (this would become a tradition in Muppet Specials until his death in 1990). The only problem with shows like this is that you can celebrate an anniversary only once, so this will probably never be broadcast again.
