I was talking to one of the employees of The Muppets Studio on the phone a few minutes ago, and he told me that the company/Disney could be willing to put the money from the newer Muppets projects from now and in the future into putting their classic material (i.e. Tales from Muppetland, all 120...

I could see Craig Shemin writing.

So I guess he wants to go back to working with the Muppets in terms of the scripts...

No, that was one of his Facebook posts, although I wish he was back here. :sympathy:

I'm wondering The Muppets Studio will make any money off of any future projects.

I really have no problem with Gonzo in my opinion.

I’m also willing to blame the lack of new Muppet DVD releases on the failures with Muppets Most Wanted and the 2015 Muppet series on ABC and especially the all-too-fickle fools that claim to be Muppet fans but refuse to support them, being oblivious to the fact that newer projects like those...

Now this proves the Muppets are getting some attention! P.S. Was the appearance done with or without Disney's consent?

They'll possibly give all of those shows the time of day, but seasons 1, 4, and 5 of TMS will have to be edited if the rights are just expensive, and episodes in the last two seasons featuring guests who passed away may have to be skipped if the estates refuse to give Disney permission.

We can't forget TMS, MT, TM2015, and that new Muppets series! I mean, the 3rd mentioned show was produced for ABC, a Disney owned network, and the 4th mentioned one was gonna be in production at some point. TMS=The Muppet Show MT=Muppets Tonight TM2015=The Muppets (2015)

I kinda agree. Certain rap songs today seem to have profanity.

I agree with you on this. I also would be surprised to see MT on there as well.

Thanks for that explanation. Let's also hope that when Disney+ launches next year, we can get a chance to see that new Muppets series as a chance for the characters to become more popular. I also hope the Muppets catalog will be avaliable on there, including the stuff that never got released on DVD.

Well, it's been said. To wrap this up, the Muppets' popularity is a mixed bag.

Does anyone have Disney Channel Australia airings of episodes 405 and 413 of The Muppet Show for trade? (The former with Victor Borge, the latter with Dizzy Gillespie) I'm asking this because I'd like uncut, 25 minute versions of these episodes for personal use. I won't make money off of them...

Those look illegal. You can wait, but yeah, just stick with those TV recordings of episodes from the 4th and 5th seasons that never made it to home media in the USA. And I bet they'll be out next year, I agree with you. On Disney+, the Disney streaming service, no matter what or if possible.

Or maybe they'll be uncut, considering Ed McCray did a post on Facebook saying all the rights got cleared.

I believe they'll be on Disney+, albeit edited for stuff that can't be cleared, like season 1, whereas seasons 2 and 3 would be uncut.

I think they will bother releasing the last two seasons, on DVD or digital download or streaming, like Debbie McClellan said at DragonCon 2015. She's right. But I will admit and agree that it may be better late than never.
