I don't get how they were able to tape episodes overseas in England, and still tape episodes of Sesame Street in NYC. Did they do like, 5 episodes of The Muppet Show a day? A lot of shows tape several episodes in one day or within two days.

It may have been produced in the UK, but you can't hide the fact that the majority of the lead writers on the show were from the U.S.
A lot of the puppeteers also did puppet work on Sesame Street, namely Jim Henson and Frank Oz so it must have been a very hectic schedule.
Like the proverbial cheese, I stand alone. Even while seated.
The Muppets was primarily made for UK tv although it crossed over to the USA as intended. Writers were both from the UK and USA and many of the star guests were British.
Its that man again!!
Sesame Street is not in production all year long. They would have scheduled the taping of The Muppet Show during the off months (possibly the summer break) so the muppeteers didn't have to fly back and forth between New York and London all the time.
Still, Henson, Oz, Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt must have been very busy in those years, not to mention they also made the Muppet Movie in between as well as several TV specials.
