Attention Toronto Muppet Fans, Yesterday I read that "The Muppets Take Manhattan" will air on the new Toronto 1 channel (Cable & Channel 15) @ 8 PM ET on Christmas Eve. OI MuppetFan

Hi, I've been reading all the postings here, and, after giving it much thought, I've made a decision: I'm reverting back to my original plan and trade my Region 1 player in for a region-free one. It will cost me an extra $200 CDN, but I believe it will be worth the expense, because I want to...

Hi Phillip, Are these converters easily available for consumers to buy? I'm actually in Canada, but the DVD brands are essentially the same as the US ones. I'm eager to play discs from the stand-alone unit I described to Luke. Thanks for the feedback, though. OI MuppetFan (Don)

My DVD player The DVD player I have is a Sony DVP-NS325S. It does not include Progressive Scan; would this be considered a factor in converting the player to a region-free format? OI MuppetFan

Hi Luke, How did you make your player region-free? Can you teach me how to do that? It would be great if I could fix it up so that I won't have to spend more $. You can email me privately if you'd prefer. My email address is don.barrie@sympatico.ca. OI MuppetFan

There's another channel in Canada called Treehouse TV that's going to air Muppet Family Christmas. It'll be shown there on Monday, Dec. 22 @ 6 PM ET. Let's hope it has very few edits! ;) Treehouse TV is the younger sibling of YTV (Youth Television). It's kinda strange this special is being...

I bought this DVD last week. It features many guest stars, including the Muppets. They perform "It Feels Like Christmas" from TMCC. The movie was released during this period (Dec. 1992). Kermit and Miss Piggy give a funny introduction at the beginning of the special, before Bob Newhart and the...

Hi, Thanks for helping us distinguish between these 3 releases of the Christmas special. Do you own a region-free player? I'm beginning to consider purchasing one myself, thereby replacing the Region 1 player I have at home. There are other UK-only discs I'd like to be able to play, including...

Thanks for filling me in on this DVD. What is the stocking scene? I don't remember that one. I've seen the one where Fozzie's mom thanks everybody for coming, which I've read is not on the UK DVD (it was a minor scene which was always cut from the TV broadcasts here). I don't like the DVD...

Hi, In the Merchandise section I posted an inquiry about the UK Region 2 edition of Muppet Family Christmas. Now I'm curious to know more about Region-Free DVD players. Do any of you own one? What are the advantages and disadvantages to owning one? Which models or companies are most...

Hi, Does anybody have the Region 2 edition of Muppet Family Christmas paired with The Christmas Toy? I was curious to know if it is severly edited like the Region 1 edition here in North America? I'd like to buy it even though I wouldn't be able to play it right now. A long-term goal I have is...

Multi-Region DVDs Hi, Thank you for posting this info. This gives me greater incentive to save up $ to buy one of those multi-region players. I recall reading from another posting by someone else that the UK release of Muppet Family Christmas is not butchered like the North American one...

I checked the CTS site again and apparently "The Christmas Toy" will air on the network on Dec. 26 (Boxing Day) @ 4 PM ET. It's become another obscure Muppet special that will finally be brought out again to show for Muppet fans and Toronto kids, young and old. CTS' complete Christmas...

Attention Toronto Muppet Fans: According to CTS' Web site, "Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree" will be shown on Christmas Day! CTS will broadcast it on Dec. 25 @ 4:30 PM ET. Could a future video or DVD release of this special be far off? I watched "Willowby" when it first aired in 1995, and...
