Yes... Season 1 of TMS is a veritable mess... And what makes matters worse is that said mess got repeated back on Muppets Tonight.

Here, I'll post it here since that seems to be the last remaining way to contact you Lisa...
A. The Muppet Show.
The first episode recorded was the one with Jim Neighbors, where Scooter's introduced as a new member to the cast.
Of course, you already took care of that with Chapter 36 where he's confused as to which key's for Kermit and which is for Mr. Henson.

The first episode aired was the one guest starring Juliete Prowst, where Scooter's already part of the cast... Thereby jumping the Jim Neighbors episode altogether.
A neat little cleaning trick you can use is just to imply that the actors' schedules was such that episodes were recorded first in order of who was available and then aired in a second particular order.
You can find most of the information about production and air dates for the shows over at www.kermitage.com's TMS Seasons Index.
Or you can ask us here, heck, I can probably recite you the airing order for Season 1.

B. Muppets Tonight.
The episode with Paula Abdul was the third episode to be recorded/produced. However, the same mess as with TMS happened in that the Billy Crystal MT episode was the third to air, and Paula's didn't get on the broadcasts until the second season of the show as Episode 16 overall.

Hope this helps, let us know if you need more info.

Yeah... You go and get her on that bus Ryan!

And thanks Lisa... Hextremely busy checking this thread and that, not to mention nagging, er bumping up all the fanfics I love when no updates are forthcoming and reviewing when updates have been posted.
After all... Though I'm already back at #3, I have to get up to 11K and a quarter to frightfully reclaim my #3 post.
Hope the writing gets started...
Why must you get things started?
Let's get things started on the most celebrational, inspirational, Muppetational fanfic... This is what we call the grand Muppets Show!!!

I don't think I ever told you how much I enjoyed the last update. I just reread it and it was fun and easy reading as usual. Can't wait for more to be posted. I hope it's while I can enjoy it at the time it happens (or close enough!)
