The Muppet Show - Zoot Endings

[David French]

It's from an NTSC Betamax tape.

Thought so, as the version I've got comes from a PAL tape. I can't do screenshots, however if I sent you my tape do you think you could do a screenshot? PM me if you're interested.

Are you able to post the original Kaye Ballard endings on YouTube?

The biggest difference is the picture quality of the UK version, which of course came from an off-air PAL source. It looks a lot better than the washed-out US version.

Actually, the NTSC tapes aren't too bad considering they're Betamax recordings from the late 70s/early 80s, and of course they were dubbed straight from the broadcast masters. The main reason the above screenshot looks poor is that it was transferred on domestic kit and hasn't been graded yet. The PAL shot was played out from a professional deck

Tooth,

Rowlf plays the whole theme tune and then once he has played the last note Him and Nigel both look at the camera.

See ya

I never saw that one. Is it on youtube? I would love to see it
