Ahhh! Now that's something I didn't know.
Now that helps me a bit in my quest to work out when TMS aired in NZ. I think I'll start from the end of 1977 and see how I go there. The series might not even have aired until 1978 for all I know.
There's a thread in this forum that lists the Production Order. I think it's called Recording Order vs. Transmission Order.
ADDENDUM:
Also check the Episode Guide on this web site as it lists the taping dates as well.
Well, George did still appear in the opening titles, but I can't recall him and Gladys together on stage. For that matter, did Gladys EVER appear on stage? I don't think she did.
I'm trying to research the original air dates of The Muppet Show when they first aired in New Zealand. The only clue I have is that they began airing sometime in 1977, but unfortunately I don't know which month or anything. If anybody happens to know, could you please reply to this thread...

Thinking about this some more - if they "wisely" dropped the long version of the opening theme from this episode, then how come we had a long version of the opening theme for the final season? Or was the final season version not as long as the original Juliet Prowse opening?
The behind the scenes stuff was indeed filmed as part of "Of Muppets & Men". Not only did viewers get to see the cast recording the segment, but we also got a view of the control room, plus the cast pre-recording the song itself.
Hmm... Since the Best of the Muppet Show CD was released by Rhino Records, they may be our best bet to ask if the movie soundtracks can be re-released onto CD. Ideally, it would be nice if they included a booklet outlining the recording of the soundtrack, as well as contemporary photos (if any...
