You mean Sex and Violence?

No, it hasn't been announced. Check the "Muppet Newsflash" blog, he's got tons of info on the upcoming sets. We know for sure Sex and Violence will be on the set, but Valentines is unconfirmed. Last time I've checked, it depended on leftover disk space.

I don't see where it's mentioned in the press release... It indicates that the original pilot will be included (Sex and Violence?) and that's it. That doesn't really answer anything?

 

[Beauregard]

Greg of Muppet News Flash has informed us that Sex and Vilence is in the package, and the otehr one we have to wait and see on, a last-minute desicion will be made on it as far as I can see. So, until then, be thankfull that Disney everreleased a Muppet item with "Sex" in it's title and hope for the Valantines special.

It's just struck me that after watching the trailer, it looks like the original opening titles won't be used at all!

Alright, just over a month away, and Wal-Mart.com still doesn't even categorize it in their "All August DVDs" section. They also don't have a picture up where they do bother to list it (in Disney DVD), and their only description is: "Restored"!!!

See for yourselves: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=3996838

The only good side of their listing is the price, but how 'bout promoting it a little, huh? Sheesh!

Loved the trailer, but as I was looking over the DVD details section, I was again put off due to the fact that they list it in the Preschool Genre!

What is up?
