We should also remember the Muppet connection with Stan Freberg; the cast of Sam & Friends used to lip synch to some of Stan's recordings. Here's one of the few surviving clips:

Muppet Show Music Consultant Ray Charles has died. Here's the only report I've found about his death. http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/ray-charles-leader-of-ray-charles-singers-who-backed-perry-como-dies-at-96-1201467922/

British TV Historian Andrew Pixley recently came across some paperwork for the Muppet Show while doing some research for 1970's British TV and has posted the following on a non-Muppet forum... * There are no studio bookings for the Harvey Korman show; this seems to have been taped in part with...

The UK version was released on VHS in 1987, though it's now out of print. You would need to check eBay to see if it turns up, though I should point out that the VHS will be in the PAL format.

The credits are different in the US version; they scroll up the middle of the screen. There's also a commercial break after Fozzie knocks over the Muffets Go to the Movies title and one before the end credits in the US version.

Does anyone have an unabridged copy of the UK version of the Muppets Go to the Movies? I've just bought the PAL VHS and it doesn't have commercial breaks and the ATV notice has been removed. I'm wanting to know where were there commercials and were there commercial bumpers like they had with...

Normally I am a very calm poster on the internet. On this occasion DON'T BLOODY WELL DO SUCH A RIDICULOUS THING!!! What exactly is this going to achieve? Answer: nothing except the ire of the Walt Disney Company. I understand that fans are exasperated at the lack of news about a potential...

Except they didn't; the category was Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. From 1974 to 1978 the award was for Outstanding Actor or Actress in a Variety Show or Special. The award was never handed out in the 1979 or 1980 ceremonies, hence the reason why no season three or four...

Or perhaps old stock that had not been sold at the time.

Perhaps it's my imagination, however I seem to recall that Liberace interacts with Scooter, Statler & Waldorf, Sam, Fletcher Bird, Rowlf, various Bird puppets, Kermit, Gonzo... Seems to me like he *did* interact with the Muppets. As for not doing anything funny or memorable, I would have said...

"Biggest role"?

Actually, he doesn't appear in the Loretta Lynn episode.

I mean exactly that; it's a bit smutty in places.

Two possible reasons: 1. Disney didn't know of its existence. 2. It was considered too smutty to be released on DVD.

I was wondering the same thing. Ladies and gents, contrary to Duke's post we don't know the exact reasons why there is a delay. Maybe it is a licencing issue, maybe it's because Disney/Buena Vista are no longer interested in releasing the last two seasons. Whatever, baseless speculation will...

It's a reference to Hare Krishna, which is a religious movement. Stolen cars are usually disguised to make it more difficult for the original owner/Police to spot it. Sam is making the point that based on the colourful/flamboyant clothes that Elton wears, he vaguely resembles what a stolen...

Liberace is also wrong - http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/04/4111978/

Gladys Knight is wrong - http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/07/731980/ Connie Stevens had previously worked with the Muppets in the 1960's so I think we can knock the idea that she didn't enjoy the experience on the head. Buddy Rich is also wrong -...

He says "Oh, shut up."
