Glad the list of intros was helpful. It took quite a bit of time to double-check everything, but the info and results are well worth it. We now have a complete list of all 52 intros used for the 120 episodes.

It is disappointing that Time-Life used less than half of the generic intros when they could have included 15 of the 17 on DVD. Hopefully more of them will be released in the future.

Can you list some more for me, please?

By the way, Phillip Kippel, there's one episode missing, the Lynda Carter one (I suppose), which I think is used on the Specific list in one of Muppet Wikia's articles, "Brian Henson Introduction Listings".

The Lynda Carter episode does not have an episode-specific intro, just another one of the generic ones.

Look at the "Brian Henson Introduction Listings" article, and you will see.
(Maybe the article is kind of lying.)

I only see 34 specificifiez episodes, and you said there's 35.

Well, what generic intro does the Lynda Carter one have?

What gereric intro does the Lola Falana one have?

On the other hand, I thought the Lynda Carter episode was genericized, too. I guess I'm really right. There's got to be another specific intro. I just see 34.

Anyway I've got the entire Time-Life Muppet Collection.

The Lynda Carter episode has a generic intro about the audience, and the Lola Falana episode has a generic intro about Gonzo.

I'm suprised the Chris Langham episode doesn't have a "guest" intro.

Yeah, if there ever was an episode could use a preface, this is it. Whole thing's an inside joke, and having Brian explain it would've been nice, I think, for those not in the know. I can still remember asking my parents who he was when I was little, and they had no idea.
