Edits

 * Both Muppet News Flash segments, Wayne and Wanda's number, "Stormy Weather," and a balcony scene featuring Statler and Waldorf were cut on The Muppet Show: Season One DVDs. It is speculated that the New Flashes and Balcony scene are missing owing to Disney mistakenly using an earlier edit of the episode.
 * This episode's UK Spot, the Sherlock Holmes sketch, was cut when the episode aired on Nickelodeon.
 * When aired on CTS, Pachalafaka is cut as a U.K. Spot.
