| 1 | * EnsembleDarkHorse: Clifford, a catfish-esque Muppet wearing dreadlocks and shades. Seven years after ''The Jim Henson Hour's'' run, he would become the host of the almost-as-short-lived ''Series/MuppetsTonight'' (sans shades). |
| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: ''Miss Piggy's Hollywood'' features a sequence where Piggy and her associate producer Gonzo visit Universal Studios Hollywood. This was broadcast less than a year prior to both the announcement that the Muppets were being sold to the Walt Disney Company and the special ''Film/TheMuppetsAtWaltDisneyWorld'', meaning she visited parks of what became the two biggest rivals in the theme park industry within one year's time. |
| 3 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Many critics advised people to only tune in for the show's second half, which featured the ''Storyteller'' episodes and stand-alone specials. |
| 4 | * RetroactiveRecognition: |
| 5 | ** Comedian and puppeteer Marc Weiner appeared on an episode well before he made ''Series/{{Weinerville}}'' and served as the voices of Map and Swiper on ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer''. |
| 6 | ** The computer animator for Waldo C. Graphic, Rex Grignon, would go on to be Head of Character Animation for [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation [=DreamWorks=]]], working on such films as ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'', the ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' movies, ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Antz}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman''. Grignon also briefly served as an animator for Pixar, working on ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory1''. |
| 7 | %%* TearJerker: ''The Song of the Cloud Forest''. |
| 8 | * ValuesResonance: In light of human-made climate change, the message of the last segment of Oceans in regards to ocean pollution is sadly just as, if not more relevant today than it was in the late '80s. |
| 9 | * VindicatedByHistory: While the show's second half was always well-received, the show in general, especially the "[=MuppeTelevision=]" segment in the first half, earned mixed reviews. However, they are mostly well-liked today. |
