    Will Muppet Family Christmas air in Canada this year?

    Honeymooners actor Art Carney dies at 85

    Art Carney had a good cameo in "The Muppets Take Manhattan" as the father of the Broadway show producer who takes on the Muppets' musical show. I also liked him on "The Honeymooners," one of the funniest shows ever made (besides TMS of course!). His Coca-Cola commercials with Andy (Brian...

    CTS' TMS Listings for Nov. 3-7

    Hi David, Yes, this is the correct airdate order, but back in September the airdates were in disorder because of the spoiled tapes CTS received of the four episodes from Seasons 1 & 2. It will likely show the Marisa Berenson episode again even though it ran alongside S1 eps when its tape of...

    Scariest Muppet Show Moment

    Tonight I watched the Harvey Korman ep. again on my VCR, and it made me remember feeling badly for poor Thog being whipped in that circus sketch. I really felt for the big frackle so much I almost cried. :cry: But of course Thog gets the upper hand, and it made me smile again. :)

    Muppet Show DVD's vol. 11-15 now on-line

    TMS DVD inquiries Hi Phillip, It's great to see more Muppet Shows on DVD. However, I've been hesitating to buy these best-ofs because I've been waiting to see if JHP will release all five seasons on five box sets. Do you forsee this happening any time soon? Has there been talk at JHP of...
