Mr. (or Mrs., or Miss or Ms.) Moderator, if this is not in the right forum, would you be so kind to move it.
I just saw this on the Old School DVD set today and it's fascinating as it features a Muppet (Rowlf) who, while he was admittedly a bigger star at the time, only appeared on the show once, pitching the show to another Muppet (Kermit) who, while he acted weary in the pitch reel, went on to become one of the biggest stars of the show from 1969 to about 1989. Does anybody happen to know why Jim Henson chose to save Rowlf for the Muppet Show?
And also, were there preliminary plans for Bert and Ernie to be on the Muppet Show as well as Sesame Street like Kermit was at the time since they were on both initial pilots?
