As part of the partnership between [[wikipedia:ZDF|ZDF]] and Henson/ATV, the original syndication package was not only dubbed but also contained a few specific alterations tailored to the German market, in some ways foreshadowing the international versions of ''[[Fraggle Rock]]''. A new opening sequence was prepared, identical to the English language version but with a ''Die Muppet Show'' sign, and occasional new footage of [[Kermit the Frog|Kermit]] was filmed to better match the German dialogue.

A new opening sequence was prepared, identical to the English language version but with a ''Die Muppet Show'' sign, and occasional new footage of [[Kermit the Frog|Kermit]] was filmed to better match the German dialog. The show also used the full version of the first season closing (from the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes) at the end of every episode (including [[The Muppet Show Alternate Closings|the episodes with the alternate closings]]), instead of using the updated closings for later seasons.

The series also included one new guest star, singer [[Mary Roos]], who performed a German version of "[[Lean on Me]]" with [[Rowlf the Dog]], [[Animal]], and others, in place of the "[[In My Life]]" number in [[Episode 121: Twiggy|episode 121]]. This was also the only episode to feature a guest star's singing dubbed completely in German, with Twiggy's "[[Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own]]" translated. The Muppets' solo numbers were always dubbed (generally with different singing voices rather than the usual speaking voices), but as is common with ''Muppet Show'' translations, the guest star's musical sequences were always in English, as were any additional contributions from the Muppets.

All new footage for ''Die Muppet Show'' was taped in [[London]] and later redubbed. [[Eberhard Storeck]], who also supplied character voices, was the dialogue director and translator. His contributions included changing the nationality of [[The Swedish Chef]], becoming "The Danish Cook," and replacing his sing-song opening with a chant of "Smรธrrebrรธd, Smรธrrebrรธd rรธm, pรธm, pรธm, pรธm," in reference to Danish butter bread.

For 2014's film ''[[Muppets Most Wanted]]'', the show's title segment for their world tour stop in Berlin, Germany, was recreated using the German co-production's original title, complete with the German article.

==Title inconsistency==
  +
[[Image:DieMuppetShow-EndCreditsTypo.jpg|thumb|300px|"Die Muppet<u>s</u> Show"... a typo that has made the rounds for decades.]]
  +
Despite the custom German logo clearly reading "Die Muppet Show," the show's title has regularly been misquoted in articles, in most TV guide listings, and even on tie-in merchandise as either "Die Muppet-Show" (hyphenated) or "Die Muppet<u>s</u> Show" (with a plural "s") from the beginning.
  +
  +
Beside obvious neglect on the part of the press to assure the correct citation of a title, the hyphenation is explained by the fact that, while German words can be joined without any kind of punctuation mark, foreign words would indeed need a hyphen.
  +
  +
The most likely source for the latter misquotation, as can be seen [[:Image:BRAVO-MuppetPoster-1980s.jpg|used here]], is most likely the show's own custom German end credits roll, which was inexplicably never corrected throughout the show's entire five season run.

Mary Roos singing "Lean On Me."

MMW-WorldTour-Germany-DieMuppetShow-(2014)

Muppets Most Wanted's reenactment of the show's title in 2014.

Die Muppet Show is the German dub of The Muppet Show. The series aired on German network ZDF from 1977 until 1982.

Localization

As part of the partnership between ZDF and Henson/ATV, the original syndication package was not only dubbed but also contained a few specific alterations tailored to the German market, in some ways foreshadowing the international versions of Fraggle Rock. A new opening sequence was prepared, identical to the English language version but with a Die Muppet Show sign, and occasional new footage of Kermit was filmed to better match the German dialog. The show also used the full version of the first season closing (from the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes) at the end of every episode (including the episodes with the alternate closings), instead of using the updated closings for later seasons.

The series also included one new guest star, singer Mary Roos, who performed a German version of "Lean on Me" with Rowlf the Dog, Animal, and others, in place of the "In My Life" number in episode 121. This was also one of the few episodes to feature a guest star's singing dubbed completely in German, with Twiggy's "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own" translated. Another guest star's number that was dubbed is Zero Mostel's "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" The Muppets' solo numbers were mostly dubbed (often with different singing voices rather than the usual speaking voices), but as is common with Muppet Show translations, the guest star's musical sequences were mostly in English, as were many additional spoken dialog contributions within the song from the Muppets.

All new footage for Die Muppet Show was taped in London and later redubbed. Eberhard Storeck, who also supplied character voices, was the dialog director and translator. His contributions included changing the nationality of The Swedish Chef, becoming "The Danish Cook," and replacing his sing-song opening with a chant of "Smรธrrebrรธd, Smรธrrebrรธd rรธm, pรธm, pรธm, pรธm," in reference to Danish butter bread.

The variety show Peter Alexander prรคsentiert Spezialitรคten promoted the show two days prior to its premiere in 1977 by stopping by the original UK-set, and taping special footage.

For 2014's film Muppets Most Wanted, the show's title segment for their world tour stop in Berlin, Germany, was recreated using the German co-production's original title, complete with the German article.

Title inconsistency

DieMuppetShow-EndCreditsTypo

"Die Muppets Show"... a typo that has made the rounds for decades.

Despite the custom German logo clearly reading "Die Muppet Show," the show's title has regularly been misquoted in articles, in most TV guide listings, and even on tie-in merchandise as either "Die Muppet-Show" (hyphenated) or "Die Muppets Show" (with a plural "s") from the beginning.

Beside obvious neglect on the part of the press to assure the correct citation of a title, the hyphenation is explained by the fact that, while German words can be joined without any kind of punctuation mark, foreign words would indeed need a hyphen.

The most likely source for the latter misquotation, as can be seen used here, is most likely the show's own custom German end credits roll, which was inexplicably never corrected throughout the show's entire five season run.

Video releases

For a complete list of video releases, see Die Muppet Show Videography.

The first official home video release of Die Muppet Show was announced in 2005. After a five year waiting period during which the "unusually complex legal situation"[1] concerning the German dub was decided, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment Germany finally released Die Muppet Show: Season One on DVD on December 2, 2010. The second season box set was released on March 24, 2011. The third season box set was released on May 19, 2011.

Folge 101 Rita Moreno    
Folge 102 Ruth Buzzi    
Folge 103 Joel Grey Berno von Cramm (Joel Grey)
Eberhard Storeck (Pachalafaka Singer)[2]
As with existing The Muppet Show edits of this episode, two Muppet News Flash segments and the balcony segment after "Razzle Dazzle" never made it into the German version of this episode.
Folge 104 Bruce Forsyth    
Folge 105 Paul Williams Michael Habeck (Paul Williams)
Beate Granzow (Mary Louise)[2]
The complete backstage scene before Paul Williams' first number is cut, and the following "telephone pole joke" backstage scene appears in a later spot. During the talk spot, citing famous short people, Kermit mentions Mickey Mouse. In the English version, it was Mickey Rooney.
Folge 106 Jim Nabors Fred Maire (Jim Nabors)  
Folge 107 Charles Aznavour Erich Ebert (Charles Aznavour)  
Folge 108 Florence Henderson   This is one of the few German episodes to retain the audio of original background sound effects (the crash of the Bouncing Borcellino pyramid) during the beginning of the closing theme, despite that this bit of the regular ending sequence isn't heard nor seen for this co-production, due to the pan-out shot of the orchestra plastering it.
Folge 109 Harvey Korman Thomas Braut (Harvey Korman)
Christina Hoeltel (Whatnot Panelist)
 
Folge 110 Candice Bergen Kerstin de Ahna (Candice Bergen)

Folge 116 Valerie Harper    
Folge 117 Ethel Merman    
Folge 118 Twiggy & Mary Roos   Gonzo introduces Mary Roos, who joins Rowlf for "Lean on Me." As with the German Kermit intros, this footage was taped at ITV studios with Roos. It was performed by the usual puppeteers with mouths approximating the German dialog, and then dubbed.
Folge 119 Kaye Ballard   Since the episode uses the standard closing theme, Statler and Waldorf's closing comment is re-used from episode 103.
Folge 120 Juliet Prowse    
Folge 121 Connie Stevens Eberhard Storeck (Bert)
Leon Rainer (Ernie)
In his introduction, Kermit mentions Ernie and Bert as coming from Sesamstrasse.
