...and an angry pig. This sounds like an interesting story...

So if there's no alleged story, it follows that there must be a real one...

Sure. Copyright lapses a certain number of years after the author's death. It used to be less than 20 years. Currently it's somewhere between 70-90. And every few years, Hollywood or the music industry pays Congress to have another 20 years or so stuck on the term...

It is also on disc #15 of the Time-Life releases in the US.

Ok, four of the sketches you list can be found in "Muppet Moments". Of the others, "Mahna Mahna" is in "The Muppet Revue", and "Time In A Bottle" I can't find - it may be on one of the tapes I don't have.

That was just an example of a current rights issue. There are many different types of rights when it comes to creative works. There is nothing to stop you recording your own cover version of a song; it's polite to ask permission, but the author of the original can't actually stop you. What...

In order: 1. "The Muppet Show", Edgar Bergen 2. "The Muppet Show", Rich Little (or its original appearance on an Ed Sullivan show) 3. "The Muppet Show", can't remember which one 4. "The Muppet Show", Shields & Yarnell 5. "The Muppet Show", Diana Ross 6. "The Muppet Show", Juliet Prowse...

You're assuming that's it's nothing more than a matter of cost. Some music rights are unavailable at *any* price right now. For example, Apple Music Corp. will not license the use of any original Beatles recordings for home video use. It's not a question of them being expensive: the...

A few months ago, I found an online MST3K script (fan-written, I believe) for "Return of the Jedi". Sadly, it was incomplete, and as I can't find it now has probably been taken down. ObMuppetReference: the scene where Jabba's little creature is picking Threepio's eyes out, and gets blasted...

The recording on the soundtrack to the film is not the same one as on the soundtrack album, btw. They were performed by John Cale and Rufus Wainwright respectively.

Looking at when the season 2/3 shows were taped, and the fact that season 3 started very late in the UK, I suspect this was done in order to give the performers a long summer break to shoot TMM... Now, the question is *which* shows were aired in the second season...?

Exactly: "housemate", not "roommate". And I never shared a room with anyone.

He was never my roommate! I had more sense than that! (And a sense of smell...)

Oh, there's haggis everywhere right now. It's almost Burns' Night...

No idea what - if anything - is being planned in the US. AFAIK, the disc will also contain the three "Classic Theater" pieces that weren't on Vol 2. Beyond that, nobody seems to know. Columbia aren't saying...

They've been "proposing" it for quite some time now! I wouldn't hold your breath... The "30 Years" release is the UK DVD "The Very Best of The Muppet Show, Vol 3", due for release (we hope) next month. "A Celebration of 30 Years" is slated to be included as an extra on the disc.

How very true. There's no "allegedly" about it! :-P

Really? The only noises *I* recall were the snoring and the Darth Vader breathing! >:-D

I'd really rather not comment!

Short answer: no, they can't. A region-free player will not solve the problem. You will also require one that is capable of handling PAL discs. These are not too common in the US, as there's very little demand for them.
