The Muppet Show

Juliet Prowse - S1-E22

Visible crew/equipment: When the group of pigs, chickens and frogs are singing "Temptation," the head of Dave Goolez (the guy who does Gonzo) is visible under the second chicken on the right several times during the sketch.

Elton John - S2-E14

Visible crew/equipment: Towards the end of the "Crocodile Rock" song, right before Elton John falls into the water, one of the singing crocodiles jumps up towards him and you can see where the puppet ends, revealing the puppeteer's black arm sleeve. Also, a few seconds later during the final shot of the sequence, for the first second or so you can see a puppeteer's head next to the same crocodile described above. (00:04:15)
