Episode 119: Vincent Price



In honor of guest star Vincent Price, the show is filled with monsters, ghosts, vampires and spooky situations. A three-headed monster auditions for the show: "We sing!" "No, we dance!" "No, we tell jokes!"

Edits

 * The closing number, "You've Got a Friend," is cut on The Muppet Show: Season One DVD.
 * 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 ATV (and Muppet Show) bandleader "Jack Parnell" when the UK master (which has been used on all home video releases of the episode) was prepared.
 * 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 Nickelodeon, At the Dance was cut.
