I am trying to restore the whole series to the way it would be if an official streaming or DVD release were possible. A lot of people say it’s being stymied by all the movie clips they used, an argument that might not hold as much weight nowadays considering that Disney owns the Lucasfilm and FOX libraries but whatever. With all of the materials I got off archive.org I've been able to restore around 75 out of 107 episodes. I've got most of the first 3 seasons uploaded and will be uploading the rest over the next week or so. The quality isnt always the best but everything is at least an 8 out of 10 IMO. Anyway, I think that restoring the whole show this way feels like it just might be doable, so here’s what I’ll need:
If anyone has any of the stuff in this list, please PM me a video download link and I will credit you on the channel
-First of all, before anyone tells that some of these things are already on the internet archive in acceptable quality, I disagree because some of the stuff I found there had the brightness and contrast turned up too high making the whole picture look overexposed whenever there was a lot of white on the screen and/or had too many compression artifacts and/or had the recordings cut off in annoying places and stuff like that
-I need Syndicated airings of “What’s New at the Zoo”, “This Little Piggy Went To Hollywood”, and “Old MacKermit Had A Farm.” These 3 episodes had the wrong Go Bye Bye sequences when they aired on Nickelodeon and some CBS airings lacked them all together, but my research seems to indicate that the edited Syndicated airings always had the correct ones.
-Nick or CBS airings of “Where No Muppet Has Gone Before”, “Invasion of the Muppet Snackers”, “Twinkle Toe Muppets”, “Beach Blanket Babies”, “Adventures in Muppet Sitting”, “The House That Muppets Built”, “Masquerading Muppets”, “Nanny’s Day Off”, “Is there a Muppet In The House”, and “Barely Alone Babies” along with Syndicated airings of those episodes in case the Nick or CBS airings didn’t have the correct Go Bye-Bye sequences
-Nick airings of “Elm Street Babies”, “Junkyard Muppets”, “Bug Busting Babies”, “Six-To-Eight Weeks” “Not Necessarily the Babies”, “Skeeter And The Wolf”, “Goosetown Babies”, “Puss N’ Boots N’ Babies” “The Muppets of Invention”, “A Punchline To The Tummy”, “Muppet Babies The Next Generation” and “Buckskin Babies.” I prefer using the regular Go Bye-Bye sequences instead of the altered “We’ll be right back” versions used in the hour-long CBS airings and Nick airings of these episodes would be the best place to find them. The first 3 episodes on this list also likely aired in Syndication with their correct Go Bye-Byes.
-CBS airings of “Gonzee’s Playhouse Channel”, Kermit Pan”, “Whose Tale Is It Anyway”, “At The Movies”, and “Return of the Bronzed Beetle.” Since these episodes never aired on Nick or in Syndication and aired on CBS when they show was still an hour long it’s likely that their Go Bye-Bye sequences only exist in the altered “We’ll be right back” form but if anyone does find the regular versions for those episodes please send them to me
-VHSrips of “Nice To Have Gnome You”, “Get Me To The Perch On Time”, and “Eight Flags Over The Nursery” taken from the commercially released tapes from the 90s, along with CBS airings of those episodes since the VHS release for those episodes lacked their episode title cards and/or Go Bye-Bye sequences
