Does anyone know if commercial bumpers were shown during the original run in the UK? I've seen commercial bumpers for two other ITC series - The Saint and The Prisoner - and these have usually consisted of an appropriate bit of animation (the Saint logo and the Penny Farthing seen in the...

They didn't; remember the Muppets didn't always play "themselves" as per their TMS personas in the films. As for when Sweetums' personality changed, check the episode guide for season one of TMS in this site. Going back to the original point of this thread - "Mad Man" Mooney is calling out...

Apart from the head shot of Dave Goelz, look at the back left of the screen towards the end of the number as the glee club move off and you can see the left arm and shoulder of one of the performers. Isn't it interesting that they kept in these types of mistakes in the first season of TMS but...

And yet TMS was meant to be for Adults in the first place... ;) Re-watching that episode lately I reckon that that number is a re-record and not part of the original recorded episode. Kermit's voice in some of the early episodes is a bit deeper but for this number it's the usual "natural...

IIRC, Mahna Mahna tries to hum "Lullaby of Birdland" during his solo spots.

Ummm...it's March now and the Northern Hemisphere Summer is July/August. Why are people expecting an announcement to be made now? Folks, have patience - Disney will make the announcement when they are good and ready. Remember, TMS isn't the *only* product that Disney will be releasing on DVD...

I can't see any reason why it would be illegal. They're his own creations and he's not claiming that they are the original puppets.

The song was actually performed twice on TMS - the first was on the Leo Sayer episode and this version was sung by Annie Sue with piano accompanient by Rowlf. The second was on the Phyllis George episode, sung by Phyllis herself and again with Rowlf on piano.

Yes he did, though it is hard to tell at times.

Then I'm afraid you will be waiting a long time; music rights do not just get resolved at the snap of a finger.

It most certainly is Peter; Sellers was a radio performer and was able to do a variety of different voices without any difficulties. It was very rare for him to sing in his natural voice.

Thanks for that, my bad it would seem. I will correct my list as such.

Not a typo as the dates come from the JHC's official historian. Remember, they were recorded the week of those dates and not necessarily those particular dates in question.

The notes on the order are misleading to some extent; production order gives the impression that this is the order that the episodes went before the cameras. In fact, from the info I've gleamed from other members of this forum, the order the original production code order and the Jim Henson...

No they actually wrote that Wilkins' voice sounds like Kermit's, not that the puppet is Kermit.

That's because it was a poem written by Jerry Juhl, and poetry usually involves a person talking. A lot.

*Sigh!* It always amuses me whenever I read posts like this, as it confirms my suspicions that people just don't have a clue about what they are typing about. Disney have never lied to anybody about anything - why would they? What would be the point? Ladies and gents, I am going to tell...

Umm...when Disney are ready to announce it, perhaps? Ladies and gents - again, have patience.

Not all the episodes are presented in the order they were filmed - Connie Stevens recorded her episode before Juliet Prowse ever did. With regards to the original question - the Juliet Prowse episode was originally recorded in January 1976, but was re-worked at a later date prior to...

I'll think you'll find that the majority of all "studios" (for want of a better word) have a tendency to hold off announcing future DVD releases until they have something to say. For Disney to post a statement along the lines of "The Muppet Show Season 2 may or may not be coming out this year"...
