Edits

 * The closing number, "You've Got a Friend," is cut on The Muppet Show: Season One DVD.
 * On Nickelodeon, At the Dance was cut.
 * When this episode was released on the 1994 video Monster Laughs with Vincent Price, "I'm Looking Through You," the Houses sketch, and the closing number, "You've Got a Friend," were all cut.
 * On CTS, the UK spot I'm Looking Through You is cut.
 * The end of the "House of Horrors" sketch was altered: the original punchline was, "On New Year's Eve, the Master turns into Guy Lombardo!" Since the show was primarily aimed at an American audience, "Guy Lombardo" was replaced with "Jack Parnell" when the UK master (which has been used on all home video releases) was prepared.
