The Evolution of Zoot (1975-present)

Image	As seen in	Year	Notes
	The Muppet Show Season 1	1975-1976	The original Zoot puppet is exposed foam, blueish-gray with a light green nose.
	The Muppet Show Season 1	1976-1977	Late into the first season, Zoot's skin color becomes slightly yellowish-green.
	The Muppet Show Season 2	1977-1978	Zoot changes to light blue fleece skin and a yellow-green nose. He also starts wearing his hat all the time. (During the first season, the only times that he wore his hat were mainly during the At the Dance sketches and when he was performing with the Electric Mayhem.)
	The Muppet Show Season 3	1978-1979	Debuting in Episode 314 of The Muppet Show and used the rest of the season, Zoot's skin color has changed to bright green and he's back to exposed foam. His nose turns yellow for the remainder of The Muppet Show.
	The Muppets Go Hollywood	1979-1980	Zoot's skin color changes to a darker blue color.
	The Muppet Show Season 5	1980-1981	Late into the fourth season, Zoot has a smaller hat than the previous version. Also, his hair is slightly shorter and Zoot's skin color changes back to a bright (and slightly paler) green color.
	The Muppet Show Re-shot ending from late 80s	1980-1981	Zoot has now changed to exposed foam forest green skin and has regained his hair length from the 1978-1979 version.
	The Great Muppet Caper	1981-1989	Zoot's skin color changes back to a darker blueish-green color and his nose is yellow-green.
	The Jim Henson Hour	1989-1992	Zoot changes back to blue fleece skin and a yellow nose. He now has gray hair and wears a gray/black spotted shirt and braces. His hair color has probably changed to avoid blue screen problems as most of the MuppeTelevision scenes have matted backgrounds.
File:MCC-Screengrabs-FloydZoot.jpg	The Muppet Christmas Carol	1992-2006	Zoot's hair changes back to blue. Complete with his not yellow-green, but dark yellow nose, he now closely resembles his Muppet Show Season 2 self. His costume and glasses are adjusted to match the contemporary setting for this appearance and his appearance in Muppet Treasure Island.
	Muppets TV	2006-2009	For this French show, Zoot receives a facial makeover, now sporting a significantly smaller chin. His hair also gets shorter, and he changes back into his signature attire from his Muppet Show days.
	"Bohemian Rhapsody"	2009-2010	Zoot appears in a new outfit and less rounded shades, and with what appears to be longer, fuller hair.
	The Muppets	2011-2015	Zoot has returned to his classic wear, though with updated, less rounded glasses. His hair also appears to be less curlier than before. His nose is light green, similar to how it looked on The Muppet Show.
	The Muppets (ABC)	2015 - present	The Zoot puppet remains pretty much the same, but the mouth is altered to open wider.
