'''Pigs in Space''' was a short [[sketch]] that ran in between the main storyline on ''[[The Muppet Show]]''. Sketches always started aboard a fictional [[spacecraft]] called the [[Swine Trek]], a fictional name that was pulled directly from [[Star Trek]] (the TV show). On the Swine Trek, the announcer would always begin with "time once again for...Pigs...In...Space...". The crew consisted of the captain, [[Link Hogthrob]], first mate [[Miss Piggy]], and [[Dr. Julius Strangepork]]. The sketch usually ended with something going extremely wrong and the [[announcer]] concluding "tune in next time for...Pigs...In...Space..." |
