Does anyone remember this miniseries of Muppet sketches? I recall seeing them frequently until about 1992.

Here are the two I've seen:

1: Thomas Jefferson (Don Music) is trying to write the Declaration of Independence, but he has broken his quill and needs a replacement. His servant (Grover) brings him a drill and a chicken named Phil, whose feathers fly all over the place and give Tom J. some inspiration ...
2: The Founding Fathers are deciding what their national bird should be. The panel consists of :frown: as John Adams, Herry as John Hancock(?), :stick_out_tongue: as Ben Franklin(?) and Elmo and :grouchy: in other roles. As I recall, :frown: votes on the pigeon, Oscar votes on the cockatoo, and :stick_out_tongue: votes on the bald eagle (along with Elmo). Big Bird arrives too late, and storms off in a huff upon finding out they've already voted.

Were there any other ones made besides these?

The only one I ever saw was the Don Music one where he was TJ and his quill broke and asked "Mr. Grover" for help, Grover brings back a drill by mistake, then a chicken named Phill by mistake. But Don got one of Phill's feathers as a new quill.
