Due to Muppets Tonight being broadcast in the United Kingdom over the BBC (which does not have commercials), every episode of the series lasted two minutes longer than the United States version (similar to The Muppet Show). These extra segments have been referred to as "UK spots," though they have also been seen in most other international airings, including Canada where the series was aired on The Family Channel.
