Miss Piggy starred in two regular Muppet Show sketches -- " Veterinarian's Hospital", as the ravishing Nurse Piggy, and " Pigs in Space", as the enchanting First Mate Piggy. Miss Piggy's distinctive personality has been seen in a few other Muppet characters before the famous sow's debut. For instance, this personality and voice can be seen (and heard) in the Sesame Street versions of Little Miss Muffet and Snow White, both performed by Frank Oz. Kermit and Miss Piggy occasionally perform musical numbers together. Some of their duets include " I Won't Dance", " Ukulele Lady", " Waiting at the Church", " The First Time It Happens", and " Love Led Us Here".

It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens.” while also concluding it was a mutual agreement. Kermit however countered “After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, Miss Piggy made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship.” It was specified, however, that they will continue to work together.
