I thought that Fozzies magic act was in Fozzies Muppet Scrapbook. In the promos shown after each video, I thought that the section for Fozzies Muppet Scrapbook featured a clip with Fozzie attempting to have a rabbit come out of his hat, only for a robot to appear, and then another clip during the promo had several rabbits out of the hat.

I meant when he's on stage with Scooter and the rabbits. I think it was a magic act. I don't exactly remember.

sequels

I wonder if it would have been a good idea to have made sequels to certain videos? Titles could have included Gonzo Presents More Muppet Weird Stuff, More Rock Music With The Muppets, More Country Music With The Muppets, and More Childrens Songs And Stories With The Muppets.

I have noticed that at the beginning of Rock Music, an instrumental version of tenderly plays. Are there any other compilations that feature instrumental versions of songs that are not the theme song?

is the Dr. Teeth song a cover of Pink Floyd's Money or is that an entirely different song?

According to the Muppet Morsels, Money was first performed by voice actor Mel Blacn, and I think it was written by Stan Freberg. I doubt Pink Floyd would have recorded a cover version.

I wonder if there are enough dance scenes (besides At The dance) to fill a video themed around dancing? I already know that some of the most obvious choices were already included (Happy Feet in The Muppet Revue, You Make Me Feel Like Dancing and Disco Frog in Rock Music With The Muppets, Gonzo and a dancing cheese, Gonzo and a dancing chicken, and Won't Somebody Dance With Me in Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff, and Java in Muppet Moments).

Let's see if I could think up a good compilation video about dancing. It would be hosted by miss piggy, with appearances by Kermit, Scooter, and Gonzo (who constantly interrupts the program reminding Miss Piggy about the dance marathon he hosted in the Carol Burnett episode).

it would feature:
Dance
At The Dance (from the Ruth Buzzi episode)
Swine Lake
At the Dance (from the John Cleese episode)
clips from the Carol Burnett episode
I Won't Dance
Veterinarians Hospital/ At The dance
Pigs In Space: Hungry Alien
At The Disco Dance
Dance The Old fashioned Way
Dancero
Nice Girl Like Me
clips from the carol burnett episode
At The dance (from the Vincent Price episode)
Gene Kelley gives Kermit a dance lesson
At The dance (from the raquel welch episode)
He's The greatest Dancer
Bird Walk
At The Dance (from the Twiggy episode)
I Was Made For Dancing

Well, I recently started a thread listing the sketches in each video. Now that I know the contents of each one, here is what I think should have been in certain videos that I haven't seen:

The Kermit and Miss Piggy Story:
What Now My Love?
Follow The Band
Veterinarians Hospital: Cow (how come this video doens't have anything from the Dom deluise episode?)
Veterinarians Hospital: Kermit
Veterinarians Hospital: Behemoth
Waiting At The Church
backstage scenes from avery schriver episode
talk spot: avery scrhiver
talk Spot: Florence Henderson
Conversation Panel: was Shakespear in fact bacon?
Diamonds are a girls best friend
any pigs In Space skit (this video does include quite a few backstage sceens that lead to Pigs In Space)

Childrens Songs and Stories with the Muppets:
at least one of the stories from the marty feldman episode
Robin Hood
Theres a New Sound

Muppet Treasures:
any Muppet Sports skit
any Muppet Labs skit

Country Music with The Muppets:
Thank God I'm a Country Boy
Nobodys Buisness But My Own
A Horse named Bill
Put Another Log On The Fire

Borneo

Fozzies Muppet Scrapbook:
any first season monologue where Fozzie is heckled by Statler and Waldorf (all of his other first season monologuesa re included. Some specific monologues that come to mind are his impressions act and the skit where he demands for everybody who isn't a fozzie bear fan to leave the audience)

So the guest stars in this one would be:

(In best announcer voice):

Rudolf Nureyev, Sandy Duncan, Lola Falana, Charles Aznavour, Carol Burnett, and Gene Kelly!
