Die Muppet Show - Deutsch/German Intros

The series featured the same characters as the American version, but with German names. This includes Kermit der Frosch (Kermit the Frog), Fozzie Bar (Fozzie Bear), Der groe Gonzo (Gonzo), Rowlf der Hund (Rowlf the Dog), and Sam der Adler (Sam the Eagle).

As part of the partnership between ZDF and Henson/ATV, the original syndication package was not only dubbed but also contained a few specific alterations tailored to the German market, in some ways foreshadowing the international versions ofFraggle Rock. A new opening sequence was prepared, identical to the English language version but with aDie Muppet Showsign, and occasional new footage ofKermitwas filmed to better match the German dialog.
