This is a complete listing of episodes of the live-action/puppet television series The Muppet Show.
120 episodes were produced in the UK between 1976 and 1980, plus two pilot episodes (one from 1974, the other from 1975). There is no set broadcast order for the episodes, as they were shown in varying order in different regions. The UK broadcasts featured extra scenes that were not seen on US TV. For the Series One DVD box set that was released in 2005, Buena Vista Home Entertainment placed the episodes in the order in which they were produced, rather than aired, for this very reason. The set also includes the longer UK versions of each of the episodes, though six song sequences were cut from the set because of licensing issues. It is common for television executives to insist on an edit of video release rather than pay money to the owners of the copyright of songs. Examples include the Vincent Price episode, which is available uncut and in English on the German DVD.
The table below lists episodes based on their initial airing. The list indicates the first date upon which each episode first aired, which is not necessarily the order in which episodes were shown in all regions.
