 Inner Tube is a prototype TV series created by Jim Henson in 1987. The show, created with Muppet characters, was a parody of the No Budget content that could be found on cable TV at the time.The show is about a cable TV network called Inner Tube, which was run in the back of an electronics shop by a pair of mechanics named Jake and Henry. The network had over 1,000 channels, and anything could happen in them. The plan for the series was that every episode would feature a human guest star being sucked into the Inner Tube network, and they would navigate the vast collection of programs while trying to find a way out. Among the cast of characters included a rock band from the future, an anti-technology video pirate played by a man who would later host a chaotic science show for kids, a delinquent who constantly crashed into things, and a glitchy creature who liked to cause mischief for the mechanics to deal with.There was a 10-minute pitch reel that was created for the show, with no guest star, and a brief showcase of what the series would've been all about. The show was later redubbed Lead-Free TV, and was planned to be part of a new series called The Jim Henson Hour. It would've been the second show to air as part of a series of 4-show cycles every month. Unfortunately, no one saw any interest in the show, and The Jim Henson Hour was reformatted with a more hectic format, with Lead-Free TV being retooled into 'Muppetelevision'.Information about the pilot can be viewed here, and if you want to see the pilot itself, click here.
