    Muppet Family Christmas on TV this year?

    MFC doesn't appear to be airing in Canada this year. Fortunately I've got the R2 edition (with fewer edits) on DVD. I watched it last week. DB

    Stamps

    This weekend I was able to order my set through the USPS website. Did you know that USPS accepts international orders? Can't wait to add mine to my HUGE stamp collection. I've been collecting stamps from all over the world since childhood. When I ordered the Muppets/Jim Henson stamps I also...

    TMS returns to CTS

    Unfortunately it looks like TMS won't be returning to CTS after all. :o They've revamped their Web site and in that 12 PM slot is "Eaglecom." :rolleyes: Sorry about the build-up; I really thought CTS would bring it back. OI MuppetFan

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Yes, there is supposed to be a small booklet listing the discs and their respective contents. Every guest's name is listed. There are also some photos with the Muppets and some of the S1 guests. OI MuppetFan

    November's Special Edition DVD's are pan-and-scan only

    Wow, if I had just held out a little longer in sending that email, I would've discovered this happy news sooner! Hopefully the 4 DVDs will contain both WS and FS. However, I would hold off getting rid of your older editions until after we have an official confirmation from Disney. OI MuppetFan

    Kermit turns 50 on CBS News

    Happy 50th Birthday Kermit! :) CBS put together a good interview. The Ethel Merman exchange contains one of my fave Kermit lines, btw. I'm glad Disney didn't cut that! OI Muppet Fan

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Easter eggs? Has anybody here come across any Easter eggs in the box set? I'm curious to know if any of those discs contain surprise footage. Part of the fun of owning DVDs for me is searching for Easter eggs. OI Muppet Fan

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    I couldn't have said it better myself. The only cut that troubles me is the absence of Vincent Price's musical number ("You've Got a Friend"). It would've also been nice if the German-language rendition of "Lean on Me" by Mary Roos had been included among the extras on disc 4 (she is a popular...

    Your Thoughts: TMS Season 1 DVD

    Yesterday I bought the set and I'm happy to have it, despite the cuts. Before I bought it, I read a posting at the Muppet NewsFlash site suggesting that the reason why Kermit's line in the pitch reel was cut was because it had the CBS logo. Is that possible? I somehow think it isn't because he...

    Tony Danza Today?

    The Muppets were on Tony Danza's show today. I saw Kermit and Miss Piggy interviewing celebs at the Daytime Emmy Awards and collecting sympathy $ for Tony because his show didn't receive any nominations. Didn't see Richard Roeper. I only got the tail end of their appearance. It looked funny...

    Was Jim in Ernest Goes to Camp?

    Don't you mean Trading Places? I saw his very brief cameo in that one. I recall him only having one or two lines towards the end. OI MuppetFan

    15 years - Where were you?

    On the day of his death I was in one of my high school classes (age 16). Somebody in the class whispered that Jim had just died, much to my disbelief. It wasn't until I got home and watched TV that my worst fears about him were confirmed. He had just appeared on TV with his WDW special, and now...
