TMS Logo Question

[Convincing John]

Hey,

I was wondering how large the Muppet Show logo was. In watching the DVDs I noticed that the logo is different from the ones used in later seasons, but it still fills up the whole stage.

I also wondered how they rigged up the second logo for Kermit to be looking through the "O" as it was being raised. Did they build a little platform for Jim to crouch on?

Of course there was a third Muppet Show logo that was used for only one episode. Trivia question: Which episode was it?

Since the logo itself is a work of art, I would like to know more about it. Hopefully, they kept it when the shows were finished. Maybe it's still in a warehouse somewhere...or maybe one of the original Muppeteers has it. That'd be cool.

I haven't seen this episode, but my guess is the Lorretta Lynn episode, since that one had a different opening.

Right! It was the "home made" logo.

From memory the logo itself never changed; it was just the flat board that was designed differently from Season Two onwards.
