(TRANSCRIPT)

You've Got a Friend

"You've Got a Friend"

In honor of guest star Vincent Price, the show is filled with monsters, ghosts, vampires and spooky situations. A three-headed monster auditions for the show: "We sing!" "No, we dance!" "No, we tell jokes!"

Songs/Sketches

Notes

  • This is the first episode in which all of the sketches center around a common theme.
  • The Newsman refers to Sheriff David Goelz in his broadcast. This is an obvious reference to performer Dave Goelz.
  • In this episode, the audience, shown during the Talk Spot, includes only Muppet Monsters.

Edits

  • The closing number, "You've Got a Friend," is cut on The Muppet Show: Season One DVD.
  • On Nickelodeon, At the Dance was cut.
  • When this episode was released on the 1994 video Monster Laughs with Vincent Price, "I'm Looking Through You," the Houses sketch, and the closing number, "You've Got a Friend," were all cut.
  • On CTS, the UK spot I'm Looking Through You is cut.
  • The end of the "House of Horrors" sketch was altered: the original punchline was, "On New Year's Eve, the Master turns into Guy Lombardo!" Since the show was primarily aimed at an American audience, "Guy Lombardo" was replaced with ATV (and Muppet Show) bandleader "Jack Parnell" when the UK master (which has been used on all home video releases of the episode) was prepared.
