Talk: Muppet Show Episodes

Background Muppets

I've been wondering about what constitutes someone being classified as a main Muppet under each episode's cast listing as opposed to a Background Muppet. Mahna Mahna, for example, is listed as a Background Muppet in Episode 102 even though he's in Sax and Violence and Dr. Teeth & Janice are listed as a BM in Episode 104 even though the Mayhem plays the opening number.

I don't know if we ever talked about this, but I wanted to open it up before changing stuff around. --Peter Pantalones 18:18, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Production Dates

Are the production on Kermitage reliable? I'm pretty sure that air dates were different around the country, so where did they get those? --Peter Pantalones 18:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, Kermitage used the earliest known airings of each episode. As for production dates, I have no idea. They had been doing the site with help from Henson, so maybe it's from an official list. -- Scott, Scarecroe 18:12, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds reliable enough. --Peter Pantalones 18:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Guest Puppeteers

Which episodes had guest puppeteers? I seem to remember one (which actually scared me as a child) of a tale of a girl and a dragon. Possibly Bunraku style? -- User:Kmcnay 23:24, March 8, 2006

Normally, I would suggest that this type of question is more suitable for a discussion forum, but you did inspire me to create this list: Guest Puppeteers on The Muppet Show... of which there are more I'm sure. -- Scott Scarecroe 04:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
