I was sitting through the original Muppet Movie last night when I realized there were bits missing.
IMDB explains that there was a 97 minute extended version... I'm not sure where I would have seen it (maybe TV), but I remember some of the parts they describe.
Anyone have those scenes and want to take a swing at a reconstructed extended edition?

Were you watching the DVD version? I have the original VHS version, and it is complete (at least, the way I saw it in the theater in 1979). I have not seen the DVD yet.
There's a common misconception that the restaurant scene with Rowlf and Kermit was edited, but there's actually a scene with alternate dialog on the soundtrack LP, and a lot of people remember that and mistakenly think that the bits that are on the LP were edited out of the movie.
