Promos

During the run of The Jim Henson Hour, weekly episode-specific promos with clips from the upcoming episodes and a network announcer aired each week on NBC.

Another, longer promotional spot was created featuring Kermit on the set of Dog City telling the viewer that The Jim Henson Hour is where "you'll see Muppets do things they've never done before." After a collection of scenes Kermit refers to as a videotape, he's joined by Ace Yu. Here, the series is said to start in January 1989 when it ultimately premiered four months later on April 14.
