i think the reason bob hope wanted to do this song was not only to poke fun at Roy Rogers but also serve as a tribute to his best friend Bing Crosby who made this song a pop sensation with the andrew sisters and this show was filmed a month after his death so its a great tribute to his friend :) Bob Hope is so awesome :D
You are SO RIGHT Executor Joe!! I grew up with these shows.....The Electric Company..Muppet Show..it was great. And I did not grow up to drink beer because my shows said things like that. We grew up a hell of a lot smarter than kids today, let me tell you.
Do a search here in YouTube for the Muppets and you will find out that the best of the best were guests on that show (and more that are not on YouTube). This video is no exception.
I agree, a number of the shows I grew up with, Tom and Jerry, The Looney Toons have been taken off of TV for one of two reasons the one you mentioned about all of those Politically Correct Tv regs, absolute *HONK* if you ask me, So Long as parents kept the tools and the guns locked up and any other potentially very dangerous objects (Cast Iron Skillet for instance) SlapStick Comedy didn't hurt anybody.

The Muppet Show was truly an underrated show.

It was great but I don't know if you could call it underrated. It was popular and respected, but only cancelled to quit while they were at the top.
