Episode list

120 episodes were produced between 1976 and 1980. The episodes are frequently given in varying orders, depending on when they were broadcast in certain markets. For example, the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes were the first two produced, in 1976, but the Rita Moreno episode was (generally) the first episode to be broadcast in the USA. In the 2005 Season One DVD box set, Buena Vista Home Entertainment has placed the episodes in production order, not broadcast order. It should be pointed out, however, that the production order is not the same as the recording order (the Connie Stevens episode was taped before the Juliet Prowse episode).

Other skits include a ballroom skit in which Gonzo tries in vain to find a partner for the dance, singing "Won't Somebody Dacne With Me", until Camilla the Chicken appears, and his problems are solved. A cow mysteriously appears in the Muppet studios, which Kermit and the gang try desperately to get rid of, only to discover that it belongs to Julie Andrews.
