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?

Technically, Gonzo appeared in EVERY episode of TMS.

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.

Her back-up singers change from humanoid to monster-like throughout the song.

The Sea Chantey song was originally released on the Muppet Show 2 LP. It's the fourth track on Side Two.

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...

That comes from the Muppet Show Album, after the Pachalafaka number.

In one word - No. The TV version of Hitchhikers didn't air until c.1981.

Oh, okay. Do you happen to know what the original UK running order was? I've got the London airdates from an article on bbc.co.uk . http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/m/muppetshowthe_7774625.shtml

They are NOT in Production Order. The Production Order is different, as was pointed out in a thread I created which listed the taping order for all 120 episodes on the Classic Muppets board. My guess is that this is the order that the episodes were aired in originally in the UK.

I think you ought to go back to the main page and read up on the DVD set. Five numbers have been cut owing to unclearable music rights.

It appeared in the Cleo Laine episode. The episode featured guest Puppeteer Bruce Schwartz.

I've been attempting to put together the original recording order of all 120 episodes of TMS. Don't know how accurate I am, and I reckon I could be wrong with one or two episodes but here we go, for starters, with the first Season. Connie Stevens (Jan. 19 – 21, 30; Feb. 1, 1976) Juliet...

Television New Zealand had an item about Kermit's 50th Anniversary on TV One's news. The item was reported by Wendy Petrie and included clips from the Juliet Prowse and Ethel Merman episodes of TMS, as well as some clips of Jim Henson, Sesame Street, old B/W footage of Kermit and Rowlf, the CBS...

Interesting, because when TV 3 last screened the series, almost every First Season episode had the left-justified credits, with a few exceptions; the Florence Henderson show being one of them. I've also seen some Second Season episodes with the left-justified credits including Rudolf Nureyev...

Interesting - Christopher Finch mentions in his Of Muppets and Men book the Juliet Prowse episode and says that during it, Kermit flirts with a chorus girl named Roxanne. That scene was totally removed from the broadcast episode, so I wonder if Finch had access to the original pilot or if he...

It was the UK Spot in the Victor Borge episode.

That's okay, you didn't put me to any trouble at all. :-)

My memory is that he spoke the lines but didn't sing. In saying that, did he sing his first number or did he speak it?

Season One: Peter Ustinov, Harvey Korman, Phyllis Diller, Avery Schreiber, Juliet Prowse, Mummenschanz Season Two: Don Knotts, Steve Martin, George Burns, John Cleese Season Three: Spike Milligan(?) Season Four: Victor Borge(?), Jonathan Winters, Doug Henning Season Five: Jean-Pierre...
