Here is a compilation script that takes place right after the first season of The Muppet Show.

(A book, reading "The Muppet Show Yearbook 1976-1977" appears on-screen. The yearbook opens, showing a picture that the camera zooms into, which transists into ana ctual scene. This scene takes place in an office, where Kermit, Fozzie, Scooter, Hilda, Droop, Nigel, and Gonzo are sitting around a table at)

Kermit: Okay, let's get things started with our yearbook covering the first year of The Muppet Show.
Hilda: Yes, let's do it.
Nigel: I am so excited.
Droop: Eh, let's just get this over with.
Kermit: How should we start this session?
Fozzie: I say we include some of my opening jokes.

(cut to a montage of Fozzie's opening jokes, including "I don't understand belly dancers. Why can't they dance on the floor like everyone else?", "I found a sure-fire way to lose weight.. I found a scale that lies", "Have you heard the one about the really fat pig?", and "I started a weight-losing program, and already I have lost 300 dollars!")

Kermit: That's nice, I think.
Gonzo: I say we focus more on me hitting a gong.
Droop: Aw, that's such a stupid idea.
Nigel: I don't know, it sounds, you know, cassy.
Hilda: Say what?

(cut to a montage of Gonzo hitting the gong, including: Gonzo getting blown up by Crazy Harry, Gonzo hitting Beautiful Day Monster, Gonzo hitting the gong with a boxing glove, Gonzo hitting the logo with no gong in the O, and Gonzo hitting Gloat)

Nigel: Well, now we must include some songs in the yearbook.
Fozzie: Oh, yeah.
Scooter: That is a must.
Kermit: What songs should we include?
Gonzo: How about Mahan Mahna and Raggmopp?

(cut to those songs)

Fozzie: I say we should also include some funny songs, like To Morrow, Mississippi Mud, and I've Neevr harmed an Onion.

(cut to those songs)

Kermit: I think that we should also include some more serious, meaningful songs.

(cut to bein' Green and Halfway Down the Stairs)

Rowlf: (entering the room) Whatever we do, we must remember to include me.
Nigel: Yes, how could anybody forget you?

(cut to the songs Cottlesone Pie and Dog Eat Dog, plus the Veterinarian's Hospital sketch with a duck as the patient, and Rowlf's Silence poem)

Fozzie: hey, Kermit.
Kermit: yeah, Fozzie?
Fozzie: We must include some of my monologues.
Kermit: Okay, but, uh, we did include your openign jokes.
Fozzie: yes, but my monologues were better.
Kermit: Good grief.

(cut to: The Comedian's a Bear!, Fozzie's impressions, and Fozzie being heckled by the audience)

Scooter: Oh, and Fozzie, don't forget about The Telephone Pole Bit.
Fozzie: I was hoping to.

(cut to the telephone pole bit)

Mildred: (entering) I say that we include some of the guest stars.
Hilda: That's a wonderful idea.
Scooter: Which guests should we include?

(Animal and Floyd come into the office)

Floyd: Hey, Animal wants to include that one number that we did for Rita Moreno.
Animal: MORENO! MORENO!
Kermit: Okay, let's see what we can do.

Miss Piggy: Oh? Well, live without this. Hiiiya! (karate chops Kermit)

(cut to What Now My Love, the Talk Spot with Avery Schrieber, Panel Discussion: Is Conversation a Dying Art?, and Veterinarians Hospital: George the Janitor)

Heheheh.

What about this?
This one would be after the Fever Number:

KERMIT: "Hey, Gonzo, can you find your favorite moment?"

GONZO: "Hmmm, ... Wait! That's it! Hugga Wugga Buggy Mugger. That's what I've been waiting for."

HILDA: "What's a Hugga Wugga Buggy Mugger?"

GONZO: "WHAT?!"

(cut to Hugga Wugga)

This is very well thought-out minor but there's a teeny little mistake at the end of this section of Gonzo gong moments. Gonzo doesn't hit Gloat. Gloat pops up and hits Gonzo with a similar gong beater stick just as Gonzo is preparing to swing at the gong.

Good job indeed though. I hope you do all 5 seasons in this series.

That was cool, but you forgot this, after the monologues

Fozzie: Kermit, you forgot the Banana Sketch.
Kermit: For the last time Fozzie, there is no Banana Sketch!
Fozzie: Oh yeah!?
(Cut to The Banana Sketch Segments)

Well, that is the same scene. I juist got the gag slightly wrong.

I have already written one for season 2, and I hope to finish this series before the week ends.
