    Muppet News Flash - Mummenschanz episode

    This is only a theory, however after viewing the News Flash from the Mummenschanz episode of TMS I reckon this sketch was taped around about June 1976. There are three "versions" of the Muppet News Man; the first version the character's eyes are half-closed, the second version the eyes are wide...

    I have the opportunity to buy a second-hand PAL VHS of A Muppet Family Christmas. The label is Palace (same one that released "Go to the Movies", "30 Years" and UK edit of "Muppet Movie".) I would like to know as to which version of the special this is. The duration is 47 minutes, the front...

    Muppet Show Photos on eBay

    Some photos from the Brooke Shields and Diana Ross episodes of the Muppet Show have been put up on eBay. If you are thinking of bidding for these, my advice is don't. To me, they look like screenshots that are being sold as photos. The tell-tale signs (to me) are the size of the photos - 4 x...

    TMS Season One Production

    British TV Historian Andrew Pixley recently came across some paperwork for the Muppet Show while doing some research for 1970's British TV and has posted the following on a non-Muppet forum... * There are no studio bookings for the Harvey Korman show; this seems to have been taped in part with...

    The Muppets Go to the Movies (UK version)

    Does anyone have an unabridged copy of the UK version of the Muppets Go to the Movies? I've just bought the PAL VHS and it doesn't have commercial breaks and the ATV notice has been removed. I'm wanting to know where were there commercials and were there commercial bumpers like they had with...

    Muppet Show photos - Muppet Wiki

    With regards to some of the Muppet Show entries on Muppet Wiki (and I'm using the word "entries" in a general sense) - it has come to my attention that we are doubling up on photos in some articles and getting rid of photos in others. For example, the same photo of Florence Henderson on the talk...
