    Sesame's 35th season kicks off with a prime-time special

    This is all very exciting news! Will this special be released to DVD? I'll try to catch it on TV, but it sounds like the knid of special that would be worth owning. In addition to this story, I read that two classic SS will make its DVD debut next month. Last night I read that Big Bird's...

    Garden song inquiry

    Oh, okay thanks. :cool: I discovered that Denver did record the song that same year (1979), but it was written by somebody else. It can be found on his "Country Roads Collection." OI MuppetFan

    Garden song inquiry

    Do any of you know the name of the garden song that John Denver sang on his TMS appearance? It's one of my favourite TMS moments, even though it's one of those songs that can get stuck inside your head all day if you sing or play it too much! (LOL) Everything just seemed to click so well between...

    Another of my least faves from TMS is Bobby Benson's Baby Band. What were the Muppet performers thinking when they decided to throw in a baby act? OI MuppetFan

    UK TMS DVD boxset

    It costs P21.99 (UK pound sterling), so I guess that's close to $50 U.S. OI MuppetFan

    UK TMS DVD boxset

    Hey TMS fans, I just discovered that there is a DVD boxet from the UK that may be worth checking out. While it admittedly doesn't include all 120 episodes, it does include some of the really classic ones. I read about it on HMV's UK Web site, advertised as a store exclusive. It contains 28...

    Will there ever be a Muppet Show DVD Box Set?

    It's too bad JHP isn't planning to release complete seasons on disc. It would be a missed opportunity for them if they decide not to undertake this project. They're showing (most of) the episodes here, so why not put them all out on DVD. I'm taping them all off of TV, but I'd much rather spend $...

    Christmas Music on Muppet Central Radio

    The Christmas format is excellent! I listened to it at work during the last two days, and it was fun to hear the Muppety renditions of classic Christmas tunes.

    Muppet Family Christmas on Treehouse TV

    Last night I watched AMFC on Treehouse, unedited and w/o commercials! The only scene that was cut was a very minor one that didn't really add much to the story; it's the scene where Fozzie hangs up his stocking and talks to his mom about it. I didn't watch it on YTV the other years, but I...
