Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Oh wow, wasn't aware they didn't have Muppets Wizard of Oz on there. Wonder if it has anything to do with the terrible reception it received. Muppets at Walt Disney would be a good one. wonder why they're hesitating. They really have a ton of specials they could release and it wouldn't cost them...
Do you have a link for that? Wow, Clifford coming back would really be something. He hasn't been in a muppet project in over 15 years. Would love if Sal could return as well.
Yeah, the Great MacGrady and the other Lance Armstrong episode (Room to Ride) have probably not aired in nearly a decade. There was really no reason to completely remake it but I guess they just want a more updated version of it back in circulation. Which means this new "season" of Arthur will...
Considering it was never even released on VHS or DVD in the United States, I highly doubt that DIsney even planned to have that special up on their streaming service. It would make for a nice addition but I think the reason it's not included has less to do with music rights and more to do with...
Interesting. I found that to be one of the better ones of Season 1.
I'd say the George Burns episode is very tedious but even that has a few good moments. Hard to classify the Liberace one since it starts out great and then becomes so tiring to watch. I'd put that in a "Worst" category solely...
It'd be funny if Don Jr. is actually a diehard Muppet fan and he's seriously mad about the disclaimers and/or removal of the 2 episodes, obviously it's just a rehearsed talking point though.
Rewatching The Muppet Show and it appears that there are 3 episodes where the show begins backstage
S1E20: Valerie Harper [Kermit confronts George the Janitor and Valerie auditions for Kermit]
S2E13: Rudolph Nureyev [Sam the Eagle inspects Kermit, Robin, and Scooter to ensure everyone is...
It really depends. For instance, I recently watched the Liberace episode from season 3 and the first 12 minutes was top-tier Muppet Show content. And then the episode literally stopped in its tracks and became a Liberace concert for the next 13 minutes. I wouldn't necessary want to dump the...
Bumping this thread to say that I actually really like the Gilda Radner episode now. Wouldn't put it anywhere near a "Worst" list, it is actually one of my favorites from season 3. My opinion on the George Burns episode remains the same though, very boring episode.
And if we're being real, I don't think it'd even be worth releasing from a commercial standpoint. The show had such a hollow feeling to it and had much less charm than normal Muppet productions. Though all the MuppeTelevision portions are up on Youtube for anyone who is interested, same with the...
Yeah, I'm not holding out hope for Jim Henson Hour but I feel like there may be a chance to get Muppets Tonight on there. It has a much more modern feel than JHH and there was considerably less music used when compared to TMS.
Yep, make sure to view the DVD version of this one. But after that, feel free to check out (or skim through) the edited Disney+ version for a good laugh.
On the bright side, the release of The Muppet Show on Disney Plus felt relatively buzz-less for the past few days. So to have big names like Don Jr and Sean Hannity (whether you like them or not) mention the release in some form should inform a larger audience that the series is available for...
What annoys me the most is seeing people say something like "The muppets have a content advisory?! What's next? Barney or Caillou?". They clearly aren't aware of the type of content featured on The Muppet Show and liken it to some series targeted towards preschoolers.
At the same time though...
I thought this one was alright but a bit too mean-spirited for my taste. Kinda sucked seeing Fozzie being belittled by the other comedian and Rowlf having to play for the "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" number. Still a pretty funny episode though, I'd say a 7/10.
This is actually one of 3 episodes that I've never seen prior to the Disney+ release (the other two being the Johnny Cash and Wally Boag ones). And wow this was a phenomenal half-hour. The Muppet Show is at its best when there's an overarching plot that affects the stage-show as a whole and...
