** 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.

All modern prints of the show remove this logo completely. | ** 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.
