The problem is that the two Pilots featuring Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens were taped in late January 1976 and then reworked over late Summer/early Fall 1976. Scooter doesn't appear in the original Juliet Prowse Pilot and I suspect he didn't appear in the original Connie Stevens Pilot...

Yiu may as well then say there was "no point" in making specials like "Hey Cinderella" or "The Frog Prince" since it was "yet another retelling of a story already told."

For "some" CBS stations carried it, read "all". Colour adverts from Daily Variety confirm that it was screened in the US by all the CBS-owned stations. In terms of the UK, ITV aired the show.

No he didn't; he's referring to the fact that the brown bear is considered to be a symbol of Russia in the western world.

The pillow is part of the costume and has no direct relation to the song. The implication is that Miss Piggy's character is pregnant, and that is why she is marrying Kermit's character - he's the father. The only true joke is that Miss Piggy refuses to remove the pillow because she likes the...

The trailer for the John Denver episode of TMS has been posted on YouTube.

Dr Bob's line is "Hey, the timing of the shrew." It's a play-on-words on the Shakespeare play "The Taming of the Shrew".

The poster is right; ITV's Midlands franchise (ATV) which produced the show aired the first and last series on Sunday nights.

IIRC, it's because he's afraid of dreaming about snakes.

Actually, Chromakey has been around since the late 1960's. The process was certainly used during the Muppet Show years. A very good example is the Octopus's Garden number.

It all depends on which section/s you mean; with regards to the arches, they were all taped separately and then matted together.

No, he's referring to salmonella poisining.

John Lovelady did the voice of Nigel in two episodes - Twiggy and Kaye Ballard. Henson did the voice in the Sex & Violence Pilot and the Connie Stevens episode.

Blues/green screen is an electronic effect, and in the 1970's it was only ever used in TV studios.

The "Pigathius" line is simply part of the Pig's plan to make the Frog jealous and has nothing to do with her real name.

Simply because the puppet was rebuilt with a different coloured face. In Season One of TMS, the puppet has a grey face; in season two it is changed to blue; the first half of season three the colour is light aqua colour and from Muppet Movie onwards the colour is green. For the Hit! endings it's...

Very interesting footage; the opening of Episode 25 had also turned up on ATV's 1976 Christmas tape and I had always assumed that that was where the footage originated from. As for the footage not turning up on DVD, Disney may not have been aware of its existence.

Pigathius is the name she gives to Avery Schreiber; that's quite clearly part of her plan to make Kermit jealous and can be dismissed. Piggy Lee is mentioned in the Jim Nabors episode and this is the closest we ever got to a real name.

Considering that the Red Book is similar to a diary, I think there are very good reasons why it will never be (and should never be) printed.

If you saw it in the early 80's, then it might be the Brooke Shields episode of TMS where the cast sing "We're Off to See the Wizard".
