I really love Muppet Family Christmas. Luckily, I have the original 1987 airing that I taped off of tv when I was a kid. I'd really like to get the dvd, but not unless all the missing scenes are put back in.

I just watched it. Ugh. It didn't make any sense. What does that song have to do with all those pop up boxes that kept coming on ?

Of course most of the puppets don't exist anymore. It's been 40 years. There have probably been several copies of each muppet over the years. A lot of the stuffed toys from when I was a kid (nearly 30 years old, now) have either fallen apart or will soon.

This would be one of the few times that I would support buying a bootleg over an official release. I hate edited shows and movies. Except for WKRP. I couldn't care less that they took out all the music. No real fan of the show watched/watches it for the music. They watch it for the characters...

I read somewhere that there was someplace in Canada that was selling a 2 disc with both the 2001 version and the original 1987 versions of the special. This is probably a bootleg, right ? Either way, does anyone know where to find this in Canada ?

I just saw that there is a listing for September 2009 for The Christmas Toy. Didn't the show just come out last year ? Maybe this is a version with Kermit still included. I sure hope so. Kermit's removal, though the rest of the show may be complete, is what's keeping me from getting the dvd.
