One of the consequences (and of course it pales by comparison) is a great bit of TV that we’ll never see in full again.
Jim Henson and Frank Oz, then Kermit and Miss Piggy on Parkinson. It’s so much fun. Problem is the first guest that night was Harris, and he’s in quite a few wide shots and joins in a bit. It might be possible to edit around him, but it’s way more time / trouble than anyone would think worth.
(I may, when I had access, have downloaded and kept the Muppets bit.)
Right at the end Parkinson gets Harris to do a bit of his act. Kermit’s reaction is, in retrospect very fitting. “You are a very strange man”.
