Participation in the Muppet Wiki Forums requires a full understanding of the Rules and Etiquette.

I added a section on omissions to The Muppet Show on our Disney+ article. It looks like not every regional version of the service got the same episodes. Those should be pretty straightforward to track as editors from different count report in. What might be a little trickier is figuring out which segments are cut from episodes that don't show up as 26 minutes (or 27 on desktop for some software reason). For example, Episode 201: Don Knotts is only 21 minutes and Episode 212: Bernadette Peters is only 24 minutes. Just noting them here for now because I didn't want to edit the article just to say they were shorter without noting what's missing. —Scott (talk) 12:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Here's the complete (?) list of episodes that appear to have cuts in the US, just judging by the runtime:

This doesn't account for potential cuts in the episodes that are shown as running for 27 minutes. I suspect it will take longer to go through all of those. But this is at least a start. —Scott

Perfect example of an episode showing 27 minutes, but still having a cut: Episode 518: Marty Feldman is missing the "Sesame Street Theme". —Scott

Here's what someone on Reddit pointed out was cut. - Oscarfan (talk) 14:32, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Dang, Reddit. I shouldn't be surprised. That's super helpful. Curious to see if there are numbers cut in foreign markets that aren't in the US, and vice versa. —Scott

Gonna check the episodes that are mentioned on reddit now. Henrik (talk)

The cuts mentioned in the Reddit thread are the same in Europe. Henrik (talk)

Thanks for checking. —Scott

The episode order and numbering doesn't seem to match any of the orders on our list. Thoughts on adding the D+ order on there? I'm having a hard time scrolling around trying to find some episodes; being able to look up, for example, that Juliet Prowse is S1 E22 on D+ would be helpful. - BradFraggle (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I was thinking of sandboxing that as a table. Would be easy to have columns for countries and add Xs or checkmarks to the ones that are included, missing, partially missing, etc. —Scott

Might also be worth noting on that table which episodes have a warning at the beginning. I just spotted my first one in front of the Joel Grey episode. —Scott

Yeah, a page on "The Muppet Show on Disney+" might be a good idea to track all of this without overwhelming the Disney+ article with the minutiae of episode orders, cuts, warnings and other notes. - BradFraggle (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
