I think everyone remembers this tune from some point in their lives, but not many people seem to realize that each season of The Muppet Show had a distinct opening. This one is least seen, the original first season opening. It quickly got replaced in reruns with the second season opening and it’s rare to catch it on TV even today. Annotated for the authentic obsessive Muppet Fan flavor.
@ZakisBack96 Nothing can redeem them now.
I haven’t seen this one before
The Muppets need to be in a new show to redeem Disney Channel
I’ve been watching seasons 4 and 5 and compared to this opening, I haven’t seen much of Crazy Harry, Sweetums, or the Frackles.

To those asking about the Disney Channel logo…
The Muppet Show did appear on some countries’ version of the Disney Channel, but not on the USA one. That’s where this clip comes from. If i’m not mistaken, severl episodes from DC Australia had been circulated in the tape trade community for awhile since they showed them uncut before they got official dvd releases.
