In addition to the " Jim Henson Hour " characters , Gonzo , Sweetums and Statler appear in the episode , and several obscure Muppet monsters make cameo appearances , including Doglion and Luncheon Counter Monster . Production . Because Jim Henson himself was too busy with " The Jim Henson Hour " to perform in this episode , Cosby plays a dual role as an old man who makes wisecracks with Statler in the balcony . The episode was originally produced as part of the fifth season ( production code episode # 0526 ) ; the Muppet crew taped its segments in April 1989 toward the end of season 5 . NBC hoped to use the episode as a kind of cross - promotion for " The Jim Henson Hour " , which was also on NBC at the time .

The episode finally aired in January 1990 and was re - numbered to fit its airing place as episode # 0614 . It has been speculated that the episode may not have been totally completed in 1989 or may have just been reworked to match the show ' s continuity after the Muppet segments were taped . This is due to the fact that Raven - Symoné ' s character Olivia appears in a scene ( her character did not appear until season 6 .
