I have been looking for the Saturday Night Live episodes with Jim Henson's Muppets. If any one can help I would much apreciate it.

The E! channel is showing old episodes of SNL, and sometimes these episodes have the "Land of Gorch" segments...

FurryFella-

The Saturday Night Live Muppets were never shown on Sullivan, although the regular characters appeared almost several times from 1966 to 1970. The SNL Muppets were built in 1974-75, and were never seen again after about 12 sketches. :frown:

Here's what I don't get. They have all these SNL "Best of Tapes" (I have an old Best of Robin WIlliams) and they're probably thinking of releasing "Best of Will Ferral" and "Best of Chris Katan" (apporximate running time, five minutes each!) but no "Best of Muppets" or "Best of Gorch" tapes? Ya, see? That's why I watch MADTV!!!:mad:

The only E! SNL reruns with the "Gorch" characters i've seen was the weekend update... "I'm skred and your not" gag.
