Except I wasn't. The international broadcaster in question is New Zealand. The reason I framed my post that way is because I am *from* New Zealand - something which members of this forum and the wiki are aware of. Understandably, I figured that people would twig that I was jokingly referring...

I posted this earlier on Muppet Wiki and got a response. Let’s see if I get a better response here. I’ve managed to work out ‘The Muppet Show’ airdates for an international broadcaster. But as to which international broadcaster… see if you can guess.

The change appears to be for the copyright notice *only*. That section appears to have been redubbed in the 1980's.

There is a theory that the first clip is of the original ending, and the second clip may come from the Hit! ending due to the canned laughter heard at the end.

Bumping this just because I spotted this post by chance. Eggs Benedict is a traditional American breakfast dish. It *sounds* like an Italian name.

The "jazzy duet" one might be from the last episode and only a small section from that still exists. You can find that on YouTube.

First of all, 324 is not the production number of that episode; that’s been made up by fandom. The correct number is 72. We know this because of the read-through related in ‘Of Muppets & Men’. From what I can ascertain the numbers indicate the order that the production team intended for the...

Here is TMS guest Danny Kaye with a Christmas song he released in 1951 - Santa Claus Looks Like My Daddy.

During the Sam and Friends years, the Muppets lip synced to some Christmas records. Here’s one of them - Mel Blanc’s Christmas Chopsticks.

Not Ontario but Agincourt, Toronto. The studio was at CFTO (a.k.a. 9 Channel Nine Court.)

Here's a promo for the UK release of the Muppet Show Album as seen on LWT after the airing of the Milton Berle episode.

The original edit of the Prowse pilot still exists.

Another song that has confused American fans. This song was recorded by the British Radio comedy team the Goons. The Goons consisted of Sir Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Spike Milligna, that well known typing error. This song was recorded in 1956 and released on the Decca label as a...

A song that has confused US Muppet fans over the years was performed by Marty Feldman and a group of Whatnot Policemen. The song in question is The Laughing Policeman, a Music Hall song from the 1920's. Recorded twice by Charles Penrose (the original 1922 Regal label recording used the stage...

Robin Williams was booked for season four.

Crystal Gayle didn’t perform any of her singles on TMS. Instead, she only performed two tracks from the same album. Here’s the first - River Road.

It did help. It would appear that Anglia aired the first season on Tuesday nights.

Of the three songs he performed, The Show Must Go On is the one that gets little to no air play on the radio these days. Which is a shame as it was Leo Sayer’s first hit back in 1973.

Marvin Gaye’s version may be the “definitive”, however I prefer Gladys Knight and the Pips’ version which was the second to be recorded but the first to be released.

And here is the 1953 remake.
