What is "Dr. Teeth's Talent Show"? It doesn't even exist! Jteka9870 (talk) 15:21, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
The article goes into detail about its broadcast history here in the UK, but glosses over its broadcast history in the US. The Muppet Wiki suggests that it was picked up by local television in New York three months after broadcast in the UK, but was it popular in the United States? How popular? I've always assumed it was a massive hit, but was it? -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 22:18, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
IF it's of any use there is a piece about the muppets which might give more history etc about the series here: https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=N5ZAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=JKUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=4713%2C3022703 Its form MAY 1977.
I'm currently trying to drag this page upwards to make it better overall. The page lacks basic history and seems to be over cluttered on minor points. I also hope to add in more ref about the series from the time the series start in the 70s which has to be better overall. The format changes which have just taken place should make the page flow better. More to come, YES episode will be sorted hopeful --Crazyseiko (talk) 12:59, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
Good overview of how the show came to be, but don't see anything here about why it ended - was it cancelled, did it lose funding, did Henson lose interest, etc. - was just curious. Will try to look for details. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:9D90:2F8:1268:81C6 (talk) 19:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
The end dates (except the original UK dates) are somewhat confusing, everyone stated that this show ended in the US by 23rd May but it stated in some sources that it actually ended with the Melissa Manchester episode on 8th June... was that relatable or some kind of a rumour that someone put 8th June there while it was actually a re-run? i hope someone could understand the whole thing, thanks! 86.22.223.111 (talk) 20:55, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
They just didn't like how i add June 8th 1981 as the actual end date, the US dates of Melissa Manchester episode is actually accurate and was put in by HensonCo and they didn't need it, just May 23rd? you could understand that the whole US end date (May 23rd) isn't quite accurate to me, that was Marty Feldman... June 8th is actually the last for the US airings and that is actually Melissa Manchester, Toughpigs know about this, HensonCo know about this even the Muppet Wiki knows about this, if you were still thinking that May 23rd is always the end date of the US airings, then this page should be challenged, thank you folks. 86.22.223.111 (talk) 20:09, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
There's a disagreement right now about the main image used at the top of the page. Since 2011, this was the page's image: original jpg image, which shows the "title card" of the show, with a stage background and Kermit the Frog appearing in the "O" of "Show".
BradfordNewton uploaded a new image for the top of the page: new png image. This image just shows the logo against a white background.
I think that the original image is more informative and helpful for readers. It shows them what the actual opening of the show was like, and provides context for understanding the premise and tone.
The edit has been reverted back and forth a couple of times, so there is obviously disagreement about which picture is best for the article. I'm opening this discussion, to hear the opinions of other editors and try to find consensus on one or the other. What do you think? Toughpigs (talk) 20:40, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
