The Muppet Show's original, unaired, erroneously thought "lost" pilot just got leaked!

Fozzie is so much deeper omg

@joe_applebrook these past few years have been absolutely INSANE for lost media

Muppet Wiki editors:

Wait I’m like 80% sure this is on my dvd version of the first season of the muppet show???

Nope! The version on the DVD set is the redone version

The weird John Wayne sketch makes sense now lol

I watched this a month ago at the Paley Center and now it’s actually out

I swear ive seen this lol

A promo using footage from the pilot had been circulating online for a couple of years

@ArmchairPriest Was this an alternate pilot episode they used as a test? I know Juliet Prowse was in the very first episode in the DVD collection at least cuz it had this scene in it but can tell this opening is very different

@ArmchairPriest This was the original pilot. It was originally shot in January of 1976 and was shopped around to various TV stations but was rejected by every single one of them. Later on they went back and shot additional footage for a second version which was on the DVD.

Fozzie Bear surprised me!

The original Fozzie voice.

The dvd set I watch with my son has the unaired pilot as an extra and it's not the Juliet Prowse episode.

Oh wonderful !!

Me: well all this looks normal Also me: HOLD THE PHONE FOZZIE BEAR WAS GREEN?!?! 🤯🤯🤯

needs to acquire the park rights to Sesame Street from the Workshop since their deals with SeaWorld went kapoot; the rights to Fraggle Rock, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Dog City, JHH etc. from the @hensoncompany ; (and utilize their own Muppets/Babies/Tonight, Dinosaurs and Big Blue House IP’s) to create an entire (5th park/gate) for a “Henson-Muppets Studios” …. A real huge Muppet theatre (with Vision 3D and new shows), a real SS street, a huge fraggle cavern, a city of dogs, a dinosaur village; I swear i should be an imagineer lmfaooo

Now we just need the connie Stevens one

I'm not sure that one survives unfortunately. Always a chance it has but there's also a chance that it is lost (and I actually do mean lost and not "cant find it on page 1 of google)

I have all the original muppet shows,on my hdd
