==Notes==
* In 2015, a post on The Muppets Studio's official Facebook page was deleted roughly two days later, due to events that unfolded during the course of the day: On Friday, the 13th of November 2015, the studio posted "Wishing you a very dramatic Friday the 13th from Uncle Deadly. Good luck!" Hours later, a string of brutal terrorist attacks in Paris, France, left over 130 people dead. After the public left comments about the accidental inappropriateness of the post, it was removed from the page without comment.
