** On ''The Muppet Show'', originally an ITC/ATV-Henson Associates co-production, the scene with the ITC in-credit notice was re-shot to update the in-credit notice with a newer one. However, the first season's variant was surprisingly kept on the Peter Ustinov episode on German DVD releases of ''The Muppet Show'', and the variant used from the second season can be found on VHS releases of "Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff" in Spain ("Gonzo y sus extrañas aventuras").
