Due to music licensing issues, these numbers were cut.
 * "Stormy Weather" (Episode 103: Joel Grey)
 * "Gone With The Wind" (Episode 106: Jim Nabors)
 * "The Danceros" (Episode 106: Jim Nabors)

 * "You've Got a Friend" (Episode 119: Vincent Price)

Also, two Muppet News Flash bits from Episode 103: Joel Grey are missing. It is speculated that this is due to a difference in master tapes as some Newsman bits were added to the early episodes later on as the episodes were reworked and fine-tuned.

Kermit's closing line was cut from "The Original Pitch Tape." At the end of the original pitch, Kermit appeared and inquired, "What the hell was that?"

Logos
An eight-second "Muppet Studios" logo with music is shown before each episode. There are no chapters within each episode, but there is a "play all" feature on each disc. Due to ownership change, the original closing shot of Zoot with the ITC logo is not included on this set. Instead, the episodes feature a shot of Zoot from the 1980s with The Muppets Holding Company information.
