Due to shorter commercial breaks in the United Kingdom, every episode of The Muppet Show lasted two minutes longer in the UK than in the United States. The extra segments that were filmed to cover this time differential have been referred to as "UK Spots." On The Muppet Show, they usually consisted of a short song, often a British music hall number, but were sometimes comprised of skits or even backstage moments. None of the UK Spots featured guest stars. The spots were also aired in Canada and other countries which either allowed fewer commercials than American televisions or did not run adverts at all. __TOC__ Except for episode 103, all of these skits were shown right after the commercial break.

The spots were also aired in Canada and other countries which either allowed fewer commercials than American televisions or did not run adverts at all. __TOC__ Except for episode 103, all of these skits were shown right after the commercial break. Nearly all of these segments were not aired in the US as part of The Muppet Show during its original run except for two: due to the "running time" of Episode 301 not being enough for a full episode, two UK Spots were used to complete the episode. However, several were included in compilation videos and albums such as The Muppet Show, The Muppet Show 2, Silly Songs, Muppet Hits and Muppet Hits Take 2. Some of the spots were also featured on The Muppet Show Music Hall and The Muppet Music Album, which were never released in North America. When Nickelodeon aired episodes of The Muppet Show from 1994 to 1995, these sketches were usually broadcast at the expense of cutting other material from the original broadcasts. All UK spots are on the Muppet Show Season box sets and Best of the Muppet Show DVDs.
