History Trivia / MuppetsTonight

* BreakupBreakout: Seymour and Pepe debuted on ''Muppets Tonight'' as a double act trying to break into showbiz. Pepe went on to appear in many later Muppet productions. Seymour... didn't. In fact, after the show ended, Seymour [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome never appeared in a Muppet project again]].

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: As of 2023, it has received no video release. It was ''once'' said that this series would see a DVD after all of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' was released, but ''The Muppet Show'' box sets stalled in 2008 with two seasons left unreleased. Although ''The Muppet Show'' eventually was near-fully released on Creator/DisneyPlus in February 2021, the odds of this series getting the same treatment are admittedly far lower.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to [[https://www.instagram.com/p/B_57Ha-DcGU/ Leslie Carrera Rudolph]] , there was meant to be a song sung by Spamela Hamderson in the Prince episode, but it was cut out.

* TheDanza: InUniverse example: In the "Bay of Pigswatch" segments, Spamela Hamderson plays the role of "Spamela".
* DistancedFromCurrentEvents: The Creator/SandraBullock episode, involving a MadBomber threatening to blow up the studio, was delayed because its original airdate was on the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. (A ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'' rerun was aired in its stead.)
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Has received no video release. It was ''once'' said that this series would see a DVD after all of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' was released. Of course, ''The Muppet Show'' box sets stalled in 2008 with two seasons left unreleased, so...
** ''The Muppet Show'' is now available for streaming on Creator/DisneyPlus as of this writing, so hope springs eternal.
* OldShame: InUniverse example: in the first episode of the second season (guest-starring [[Music/{{Prince}} The Artist Formerly Known as Prince]]), during the "Tales from the Vet" sketch, Phil Van Neuter hits his head and goes to the nurse, asking Mulch to play ''Townhouse of Wax'' while he's gone. Instead, Mulch plays "Christmas Party '93", which featured the wrap party to a season of ''Tales from the Vet''. In it, Phil asks his guests to go easy on the eggnog, [[HypocriticalHumor advice Phil himself doesn't heed]] ("Eggy-noggy, eggy-noggy!"). In fact, one hour and twenty-five minutes after the party started, after a failed attempt at a karaoke of "Copacabana", he passes out from an eggnog overdose. When Phil returns and finds out what happened, he first [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial denies ever being at the party in 1993]], then tries to justify it by saying, "It was the eggnog decade; I was just trying to fit in!" Eventually, Phil tries to grab the videotape from Mulch, who escapes through the halls with it with Phil giving chase.
