This was also one of the few episodes to feature a guest star's singing dubbed completely in German, with Twiggy's " Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own" translated. The series also included one new guest star, singer Mary Roos, who performed a German version of " Lean on Me" with Rowlf the Dog, Animal, and others, in place of the " In My Life" number in episode 121. The show also used the full version of the first season closing (from the Juliet Prowse and Connie Stevens episodes) at the end of every episode (including the episodes with the alternate closings), instead of using the updated closings for later seasons. A new opening sequence was prepared, identical to the English language version but with a Die Muppet Show sign, and occasional new footage of Kermit was filmed to better match the German dialog. 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 of Fraggle Rock.
