That was the Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge episode wasn't it? Gonzo had to pay up because Kermit was allowing him to do the juggling a piano with one hand on a tightrope act.

That's the Marisa Berenson episode you're thinking of.

Going back to the original question - Why is Scooter introduced in the Jim Nabors when he's already appeared in the show? I've got a theory, and it's because that was supposed to be his first episode. We know that the Juliet Prowse episode was re-worked with the Scooter/Muppy storyline...

I was about to post that as well - Carol comes from behind the curtains and tries to perform her Lonely Asparagus sketch. She gets through the first few lines, but then the band plays the rest of the theme and cut her off. After Zoot blows his sax Carol (off camera) says "Oh rats!"

Further to that... Mahna Mahna pops up at the end of the Juliet Prowse episode, the Swedish Chef appears with Statler and Waldorf at the end of the Jonathan Winters episode, and the noise Inspector appears at the end of the Dizzy Gillespie episode; Astoria replaces Statler in the same episode as...

The Julie Andrews episode doesn't feature an end joke from Statler and Waldorf, and neither does the Mac Davis episode. The Valerie Harper episode features only Waldorf at the end. Kermit appears in the box with Statler and Waldorf at the end twice (Marisa Berenson and John Denver) and Gonzo...

I think it's also because he's not as "cuddly" as he becomes in the later seasons and he has more of a "throaty" voice as well. This version of Fozzie is also a bit more "naughty" than he becomes from Season Two onwards - he has a tendency to be "mean" towards other characters but eventually he...

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.

Gaffer is also backstage when Buddy Rich "plays the theatre." The line in The Cat Came Back is "HE didn't want to roam."

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.

Ahhh!! But that's not Gladys who appeared in the At the Dance sketches - that was Mildred.

Miss Piggy is in the goodnight but does not appear in the actual number.

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...

No they are not. The production order is DIFFERENT to the order that the episodes are being presented on the DVD.

It was the UK Spot in the Cheryl Ladd episode.

If you look at most episodes, they seem to follow a structure of one kind or another - usually the Guest Star does their opening number after the Opening Act although they are sometimes the Opening Act. The Closing Number is just about always the Guest Star's last number as well. You would...

Is it just me or is anyone else rather astounded at the number of times the Vet's Hospital sketch was performed on TMS? I just went through the Kermitage Guide and the following is the complete list of episodes that feature Vet's Hospital... Harvey Korman Rita Moreno Charles Aznavour...

More eps... Rita Coolidge & Kris Kristofferson Leo Sayer Roy Clark Pearl Bailey Jean Stapleton Alice Cooper Loretta Lynn Liberace Marisa Berenson Raquel Welch Cheryl Ladd Helen Reddy Harry Belafonte Spike Milligan Elke Sommer Sylvester Stallone Roger Miller Roy Rogers & Dale...

Just as a matter of interest for everyone - the following is a list of the TMS UK Spots that have aired in New Zealand since c.1986. The Guest Stars are listed but not the songs, just so you know which episodes I'm referring to... Joel Grey Ruth Buzzi Rita Moreno Paul Williams Charles...
