Well unless someone has off-air copies of the other episodes that she worked on, we can't say for sure. What we can say for sure is that she was never credited on the US set of credits.

That was one of the episodes (the last?) of Jim Henson's short-lived TV series "The Jim Henson Hour".

The left-hand credits were for the UK while the centred credits were for the US and perhaps other markets as well. The reason for the difference originally, I suspect, had to do with the fact that the episodes aired in the US were syndicated by CBS and make mention of that fact in the end...

I've got the R4 version as well and am half-way through it. The picture quality does vary but that may be more down to lighting than picture quality. One thing - there are no foreign language tracks, despite the fact that both French and Italian are included as options. I plan to get in...

It seems we may be wrong about Lousie Gold being uncredited for her work on Season Two of TMS. The following is a digital photo of the end credits from the Elton John episode on the recent DVD release. This is the UK left-hand credits and I wonder if she was credited on this version...

Easy - different producers have different ideas. Besides, we don't know that it had been established that the Morsels would be on every set; we just took it for granted that they would be. Even if he were still alive this would *still* be an issue. Music rights don't just change especially...

It seems strange to me that Ruth Buzzi, Harvey Korman and Rita Moreno recorded their episodes on the same three days - namely 25 - 27 May, 1976. I know that's what the Muppet Morsels say but there must be a sensible explanation for this "discrepancy".

Can I just point out that there is no need for new negotiations to take place with music rights on "The Muppet Show", let anyone *any* TV show. Music rights for broadcast will have been negotiated back when the programme was made, and don't need to be renegotiated. It's only for commercial...

That's what I thought. The person who did that entry on Muppet Wiki must have been watching a different edit to the one we're used to. ;)

Refresh my memory, but Loretta Lynn sang this song with dogs didn't she? Only Muppet Wiki's entry on her episode of TMS says that she sang it with pigs.

Even though I'm in New Zealand, I hope the strike gets resolved very quickly. Hopefully this won't drag on like the ITV blackout of 1979.

I don't recall anything about the films being censored. From memory, the grasshopper line is in the soundtrack but unless it's in the original UK edit of the film, I don't particularly remember it being in the "bona fide" version. Can you give some other examples of censored lines?

Zoot doesn't wear his hat in the end credits of the first two seasons. He is wearing his hat in the end credits of the last three seasons. Associated TeleVision (ATV) was the independent channel that aired The Muppet Show in the United Kingdom. Incorporated Television Company (ITC) is...

Okay, first of all - these are not new shots that have been recorded especially for the DVDs; these are the shots that were used for the Hit! endings, sans bubble. There were two versions recorded - for the first two seasons, Zoot is not wearing his hat and for the other three seasons, he is...

In order: 1. Harry Belafonte episode (it's one of the African-masked characters) 2. Kaye Ballard episode (Nigel bows to the audience, while Rowlf has his hands in his mouth and looks nervous) 3. Loretta Lynn episode (the final note sounds slightly off-key) 4. Roger Miller episode (the...

Yes, but they're a part of the end credits so it's a bit harder to remove them than it is for TMS. The various copyright notices used for TMS have always been on a seperate shot of Zoot blowing his sax so it's always been easy to change them.

There are still tapes that have the original logos, though, and if Disney are using the "original" UK tapes (as has been claimed) then it's possible they may have made the decision to ditch the old copyright notices. In saying that, I do realize they are using the old HIT! endings so maybe...

With regards to the logo, this is all due to the change in ownership. There were in fact two logos - a rectangular ATV logo (used on the UK tapes) and the diamond ITC logo (used on the US tapes). The problem is that Granada International, who own the ITC archive, no longer own the copyright to...

Eric and Davina - while I am not a Mod, I refer you both to the forum rules regarding pirated material. In fact, Eric you posted about this last year and I told you last year that you shouldn't do it.

Some Pigs in Space sketches will be on the Time Life "Best of the Muppet Show" DVDs, but unfortunately off-hand I couldn't tell you which are on which disc.
