[[WMG: The film takes place in 1969.]]
The first episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' aired in 1974. As this film shows (approximately) how the Muppets got started, it would logically take place before the show's debut. 1969 was the year ''Series/SesameStreet'' debuted and also the year Kermit the Frog became famous (although he made his on-screen debut 14 years earlier in Series/SamAndFriends). The film is also supposedly set before Sesame Street's premiere as evidenced by Kermit and Fozzie's encounter with Big Bird when he tells them he's on his way to New York to break into public television.

* That's the wrong way around, I'm afraid! Muppets from Space was actually inspired by the song itself, and neither Gonzo or his performer consider it to be canon for the character.

[[WMG:Scooter wasn't a part of the events as they actually happened.]]
Scooter joined the Muppets in a early episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', yet this film has him join before the show is made. The reason being that this film is only "approximately what happened", and Scooter wasn't there during the actual events, they just gave him a role in the movie. This explains why he has such a small role in the film, and why he's the Electric Mayhem's road manager even though most of the time he's disconnected from them and they don't even ''have'' a road manager.

It wouldn't be WMG without a 40k reference. And the lyrics are pretty damned ominous if you pay attention.

The movie is mainly focused on the journey to the dream instead of actively achieving the dream itself. Kermit's goal is in response to a classified ad he saw from Hollywood about a casting call for frogs, and he says more than once that he, and all his friends, need to audition. The road to stardom in entertainment is among the rockiest professions in any field, yet when they do reach Hollywood, Lew Lord, a respected and acclaimed Hollywood executive chairman, doesn't even ''see'' them audition- he gives them the "Standard Rich and Famous" contract after Kermit's single plead and that's it! Rather than give them a show without being certain they're valuable, maybe he simply made them sign a contract to ''make an audition tape'', and maybe that's what they're trying to film in the sound stage number at the end. The rest of their journey up to getting their variety show greenlit is not covered in the movie, but it's safe to say that their audition tape was a success.
