- TriviaIn Feburary 2004, the rights to the Muppets were bought by The Walt Disney Company. This was the only series where the distribution rights were split between The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company.
- Alternate versionsAfter the shows original run, many parts of this show were broadcast without the Jim Henson Hour opening and without Jim Hensons introductions and closings. All of the second half-hour portions were shown on their own, all hour-long specials (except for The Secrets of The Muppets) were shown without an opening or introductions and closings by Jim Henson, and the first half-hours were previously broadcast in Canada with an altered title (The Jim Henson Show).

Featured review
It does my heart good to see that other people remember this series. I remember watching it on NBC and thinking it was the dawn of a new era of Muppet creativity on broadcast television. Then it was canceled. Then Jim Henson died, and a substantial part of my childhood went with him. Actually, I think the show was probably a summer replacement. But still, I was disappointed to see it go. "The Storyteller" segments came back, and are now available on DVD. I'd like to see the segments with Kermit again, and the new characters that didn't last.
