Zoot ' s Muppet Show endings One of several recurring elements of the " Muppet Show " theme song , it was created due to the need by the original British producer , Associated TeleVision , to broadcast its logo at the beginning and end of every show in order to identify its programming from other programming on Independent Television in the United Kingdom ( which it shared with other local companies ) . The final shot always consisted of Zoot playing a low blast on his saxophone . Outside the UK , distributor ITC Entertainment ( part of the same company as ATV ) would use its logo , with only the first season internationally acknowledging both , with the orchestra shot for ATV and Zoot for ITC . After Jim Henson Productions acquired full rights to " The Muppet Show " , the Zoot shot would remain but adjusted , either adjusting the Zoot shot or using a new shot altogether with the logo of the time . ( Sometimes Zoot ' s shots would be replaced with the Jim Henson Company logo instead . ) Alternate Endings . _ _ NOWYSIWYG _ _
