Wow, I checked out the Muppets box office history on the-numbers.com. Muppets From Space cost 24 million and pulled in a whopping 16 million. (now this was US only, but did the worldwide gross add up to break even?)
Yikes! I liked that one, too.
Speaking of MFS, I saw newer packaging for it...
That's right.
But sometimes on TV, the channel won't have the sound of it. I watched the first two seasons on DVD, where it's nice and prominent.
...it's just a production company sig, like 'Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog!' at the end of Family Ties. But my wife and I love it for some silly reason.
If I had the time, equipment and know-how, I'd save them and make a fan-edit by re-dubbing all the voices in English and posting them on a secret site for only us to view for free.

French swearing is not the same as English. What they consider really bad is not the same. ie, words against the church are far more troubling for them than simple crudeness.
What's that new crude clay animation series called? They just did a raunchy spoof on the very same subject. Janice having Hep C from Tommy Lee, having to 'put Animal down', Zoot disappearing, etc. Is was crude, but hilarious!
I'm not sure it's an issue of today's kids not liking the older stuff at all. It's just retor-active censoring as the paranoid P.C. weenies are in charge of kids viewing now.
