  • The Muppets appeared on four episodes, including three specifically with Sesame Street characters or actors. The show was an hour in length, but later cable syndication airings (beginning with TV Land in 1997) trimmed it to a half hour. These same versions were used for DVD releases (with the exception of one 2007 set), with the result that many of the Muppet scenes (and other bits and guests) were cut entirely.
