Sam Plenty

Sam Plenty is a live action web-series produced by the Jim Henson Company. The series was created and directed by Paul Rugg and Mitch Schauer. The series launched on its own Samplenty.com, with the first installment debuting on March 10, 2008.

The series is designed as a Western comedy musical with science-fiction and action adventure elements, starring cowboy hero Sam Plenty. Victor Yerrid described Sam Plenty in a 2007 interview as "a throwback to the old Gene Autry Show". . In particular, the premise recalls Autry's 1935 serial The Phantom Empire, in which Autry and friends must battle an evil queen, robots, and various sci-fi devices.

The cast consists of a mixture of minor TV/film actors and veteran Henson puppeteers; the latter includes Yerrid, Drew Massey (as Sam Plenty), and Allan Trautman. A sample of the project was screened at the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con.
