The Muppet Show Season 5 Episode 12 - Melissa Manchester
US/New York Premiere: Saturday June 8, 1981
Disney+ Premiere: Friday February 19, 2021

After the show's opening act wipes out badly while skiing, Kermit tells Scotter to stop him if he has any more dumb ideas. Things don't improve though: Chickens keep springing from the Swedish Chef's pot, and the Flying Teeterini Family's teeter board sends everyone flying. But the blindfolded yodeling hang glider act? That one's not dumb at all!

I'm used to the UK spot ending with a fade to black before the next scene, but that's not on the Disney Plus version. I think there's a few other times when a fade to black (particularly after the closing number) is not there, so maybe Disney Plus removed some fades.

It does got me wondering if that UK Spot always had a fade to black or if Nickelodeon just put one there.
