NBC Experiment in Television: The Cube

The Cube is an hour-long teleplay that aired on NBC's weekly anthology television show NBC Experiment in Television in 1969. The production was produced and directed by puppeteer and filmmaker Jim Henson, and was one of several experiments with the live-action film medium which he conducted in the 1960s, before focusing entirely on The Muppets and other puppet works. The screenplay was co-written by long-time Muppet writer Jerry Juhl. The program was recorded in Toronto and aired later the same month. In the previous year, Henson had produced a documentary for NBC Experiment in Television, "Youth '68".
