Can you list more genericized episodes of the Muppet Show for me please?

I know that the Lola Falana and Lynda Carter episodes are in the Time-Life videos and the intros are included on Time Life videos of the Muppet Show.

Perhaps you could tell me the generic intros of the Lola Falana and Lynda Carter episodes and other genericized episodes.

Um I take it Dil by intro you mean the moment where Kermit welcomes everybody to the Muppet Show. This is usually in every episode except for the odd exception where the show "opens" backstage.

So if you don't mind please explaining if I'm right in my assumption and if so what is the difference between a specific and non-specific intro?
