Cold Open A Cold Open is an industry term for the portion of a television show that occurs before the theme song and / or title sequence . Also sometimes called a " teaser " , a cold open is intended to capture the interest of viewers so they will sit through the credits and commercials before the rest of the show begins .

Scooter ' s appearance was then followed by a short quip or visual gag involving the guest star . In season 5 , the cold open was changed to show the guest star entering the theater and talking briefly to Pops . Notes . Other Muppet / Henson shows have also had cold opens . Most " Jim Henson Hour " cold opens took place in Muppet Central , usually ending with Kermit the Frog telling Digit to start the show .

Cinderella Pilot Cinderella was a 1965 half - hour Muppet TV pilot . Shot in October for ABC , the pilot was to have been the first in a serial of episodes with cliffhangers , each telling a part of the familiar Cinderella story . Writers Jon Stone and Tom Whedon had originally conceived the idea in 1964 as a Snow White series , utilizing Jim Henson ' s Muppets ( thanks to their variety show appearances ) and pitched it to CBS . When they passed , ABC showed interest but insisted the fairy tale be changed to " Cinderella " . Characters created for the pilot , including Splurge , were performed by Jim Henson , Frank Oz , Jerry Nelson , and George Latshaw . Nelson played the Black Duke , with a puppet head covering the top half of his face , but the rest was his own body ( similar to the musicians later used in " Hey Cinderella ! " ) The human actors , consisting of various New York stage and TV veterans , included Jill O ' Hara ( sister of Jenny O ' Hara ) as Cinderella , plus Will Mackenzie ( as Prince Charming ) , Elaine Hyman , and Mary Louise Wilson . The other human characters were the Fairy Godmother and the Queen , while other Muppets included the King , the Prime Minister , and the stepsisters . As the most ambitious use of live actors with Muppets at the time , the pilot was produced in collaboration with Albatross Productions Inc . Bob Schwarz ( who later worked on " Sesame Street " ) directed . Joe Raposo composed the music , making this his first collaboration with Henson and Stone . The network did not pick the project up as a series , and the pilot never aired . The concept would later be restructured into the television special " Hey Cinderella ! " ( filmed in October 1968 and aired on ABC over a year later ) which spawned a short series of " Tales from Muppetland " specials . Much of the original alumni ( including Henson , Stone , and Raposo ) came back to work on the special , and reunited again shortly after as " Sesame Street " began production . Several bits of dialogue were re - used for the special , particularly the " Bring a present for the King " exchange . The special ' s lone musical number , " If I Could Go Dancing , " is re - used in that production as well . For many years , footage of the original pilot was believed to have been lost until the sons of Robert Lawrence ( whose RLP Canada studio provided production facilities for " Hey Cinderella ! " ) found a 16mm film copy in the summer of 2013 and donated it to The Jim Henson Company Archives and The Jim Henson Legacy , as well as the Paley Center for Media . Character sketches .
