Very late response but I was also watching the Season 2 DVD last night and have to agree wholeheartedly. I know season 3 is usually considered the best one for understandable reasons but season 2 is honestly my personal favorite. So many great guest stars and skits. Not to mention that the...

I've been around this site since 2014 and it's nice that it's still around. It continues to be a great place to talk about muppet-related topics. Happy Birthday!

RIP Cloris Leachman, her Muppet Show episode where pigs took over the show was one of my favorites.

Sorta late but just had to pay my respects to Alex Trebek since I didn't catch this thread before. Been an avid Jeopardy viewer since I was 4 or 5 and Alex was always a mainstay. No matter how my life changed, he was always there providing clues and awarding cash prizes. It was tough watching...

I do wonder just how much they'll have to cut though. Like, will all the scenes removed from the season 1 DVD be included or remain excluded? I don't really mind either way because, at times, cutting a few parts actually made those episodes flow better.

Hard to tell with current social media culture. Of course, any minor backlash an episode or two receives will be countered by the fact that so many people will get to watch and enjoy the show for the first time.

Totally forgot about that guy and his episode. Pretty odd coincidence that all the episodes me, you, and OscarFan mentioned that could ruffle some feathers are from season 5.

Anyone want to place bets on which episode causes Twitter/social media uproar and gets pulled from Disney+? Since it'll be widely accessible for the first time in about 20 years, there's bound to be some sort of minor backlash. My guess is (if it happens) it'll be the Johnny Cash one since he...

This is amazing news. And yeah I'd prefer DVD releases of season 4 and 5 but that ship has sailed. I think just the fact that we're getting all five seasons on streaming is phenomenal. Though one thing I am bracing for is for newcomers to start watching season 1 and then quit because of how...

Personally, I'm a fan of Very Merry Muppet Christmas. It has its flaws but I like the Muppet Show-esque style and the abundance of characters that were shelved during the 90's era. Far from perfect, usually due to the tedious human characters, but I find it rather enjoyable.

Most people are discussing the alleged sexism that comes with this article but I found this part a lot more jarring "What quickly became apparent to those who worked with him was that Brian was not his legendary father — nor did he want to be. "He has hated puppeteers for his entire life," says...

Man, so many TMS guest stars have passed away in recent days. RIP to Helen and Mac. I mean it's understandable, the show came out 40+ years ago and people are going to age but it's still extremely sad to hear that a new one is gone.

Sadly, I have to agree. I haven't watched since the 3rd episode. I'll definitely check out 4-6 at some point but it's not really on the top of my to-do list. Compare that to the 2015 series where I would actively want to watch it the moment it was on.

I remember watching his videos a ton back in 2013 and 2014. I think he started reviewing the ABC muppet show episode-by-episode but then disappeared before he could finish.

Saying [insert year] is the worst ever after hearing some sad news is just a coping mechanism tbh. But I think 2020 is pretty unanimously an awful year for most. Though it's great if people are enjoying it on a personal level.

This really came out of nowhere. I can't believe he kept his cancer diagnosis hidden from the public and the media for as long as he did. The fact that he would film in-between surgery and chemotherapy shows just how committed he was to his career. RIP to an amazing actor.

I know Northern Calloway was dismissed from the show in 1989 but what I'm wondering is if skits featuring him were ever used as insert material after his departure. From what I can tell, it seems like the only time old clips of him have been shown are in specials like the Street we Live On and...

Northern's story is always a very depressing one, so sad he wasn't able to get the help he needed. He was easily my favorite human character. I'm glad he was able to be on the show for 2 decades at least.

So episode 1790 aired posthumously. I wonder if Will Lee's death had been publicized at that point since March 1983 was 4 months after he passed away. I was also not aware that the goodbye Mr. Hooper episode aired nearly a year after he passed.

Well Rowlf and Floyd are pretty much non-existent in this series and no one complains about their voices because they are close to the ones made by Henson and Nelson and because they barely ever get any screen-time to begin with. As far as Uncle Deadly goes, he was barely even a character from...
