*The ITC library was, at the time this was first compiled, in the hands of Carlton Television, a company not known for preserving logos or even other corporate identities (it renamed two of its UK television stations, [[Central Independent Television (UK)|Central]] (the former "ATV") and [[Westcountry Television (UK)|Westcountry]] under the Carlton name several years ago; the names of those stations were reinstated after Carlton merged with [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]] in 2003), and some shows which had the logo have been updated with the 1989 ITC logo or other company logos | *The ITC library was, at the time this was first compiled, in the hands of Carlton Television, a company not known for preserving logos or even other corporate identities (it renamed two of its UK television stations, [[Central Independent Television (UK)|Central]] (the former "ATV") and [[Westcountry Television (UK)|Westcountry]] under the Carlton name several years ago; the names of those stations were reinstated after Carlton merged with [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada]] in 2003), and some shows which had the logo have been updated with the 1989 ITC logo or other company logos. | ||
** On ''The Muppet Show'', originally an ITC/ATV-Jim Henson 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 version used from the 1st season was surprisingly used on disc one, Peter Ustinov episode on German DVD releases of ''The Muppet Show'', and the variant used from the 2nd season can be found on VHS releases of "Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff" in Spain ("Gonzo y sus extrañas aventuras"). All modern prints of the show remove this logo completely. | |||
** 1980's and 1990's reruns replaced it with [[The Jim Henson Company|Ha!/Jim Henson Productions]] logos (alongside [[HIT Entertainment|Hit!]] for international broadcasts) | |||
** Late-1990s broadcasts (eg, on Odyssey Network, or Kermit Channel in Asia) plastered over the scene with the [[The Jim Henson Company|Jim Henson Television]] logo and remains as such on some DVDs from the time (eg, the bonus episodes and all episodes on ''The Very Best of the Muppet Show'' UK DVDs). The prints of Season 4-5 on Disney+ use this logo at the end. | |||
** The bi-volume "Best of the Muppet Show" releases from [[Time-Life Video]] plasters the sequence with the 1998 [[Jim Henson Home Entertainment]] logo with a copyright notice. | |||
**The first two volumes of the UK-exclusive ''The Very Best of the Muppet Show'' keep the sequence, but replace the logos with a Jim Henson Company copyright notice, followed up with the Jim Henson Home Entertainment logo. | |||
** The boxsets of the first three seasons from [[Buena Vista Home Entertainment]] replace the ITC logo with a copyright notice for the [[The Muppets Studio|The Muppets Holding Company]], and remains as such on Disney+ prints. | |||
*Most in-credit versions are usually left alone (see below for more information). | *Most in-credit versions are usually left alone (see below for more information). | ||
