    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    It reminds me of the limited edition Walt Disney Treasures tins that have been released over the last few years (which I have a complete set of!) - even though those sets were supposed to be archival sets for enthusiasts featuring uncut material they occassionally used the wrong masters and at...

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    Well when it comes to songs often in older shows they were only licensed for television broadcast and the songs have to be licensed again for home video distribution - usually when the cost or re-licensing the song is excessive they simply choose to edit shows or use different songs. As for...

    Wow this sucks! :( I'm still looking foward to getting the set but I'm glad I kept all my old Time Life DVDs! My only question is didn't Disney say in the press release that these were uncut episodes?

    That's one of life's little gifts! I remember a couple of years ago getting the limited Book of the Dead edition of The Evil Dead almost a month early and I was in Sam Raimi fanboy heaven! Recently I also got The Garbage Pail Kids Movie three weeks before the streetdate which was pretty neat!

    So they managed to dig out the original titles but not the original endings? :( Oh well I guess we can't have everything!

    Time-Life vs. Columbia question

    I have all 15 Time Life DVDs and here are the Muppetisms & Movie Mania clips that appear as extras: Vol. 01 (Elton John/Julie Andrews/Gene Kelly) Muppetisms: "Floyd (The Groove Master) Kermit (Amphiboogie Danci-Frog)" Movie Mania: "Flipperdance" Vol. 02 (Mark Hamill/Paul Simon/Raquel...

    Don't know if this has been mentioned but the Amazon listing now states that the pilot episode that is included is "Sex and Violence" - lets hope the Valentine show makes it on to the Season 2 set.

    Favorite Muppet DVD?

    I think without a shadow of a doubt my favourite Muppet DVD is my Columbia TriStar UK release of "A Muppet Family Christmas" (I also have the US version which I owned first but the UK release has the most complete home video version and doesn't cut-out the live-action Muppet Baby sequence)...

    I wonder if the Brian Henson intros from the Odyssey Channel will be included - or the various "Muppetisms" and "Movie Mania" clips?

    Muppets Season 1 releases Aug 9, 2005

    I have the same concerns about which credit sequences they use, which pilot they include (hopefully we get both), whether any cuts will be made, etc... but I know that I will buy it anyway! I have all 15 Time Life DVDs, the 3 "Very Best Of" Columbia TriStar UK DVDs and the HMV UK 4-disc box...

    Muppet Show DVD season box sets announced

    Well I've arrived a bit late to the party, but - woooooooooo-hooooooooooo!!! I own all 15 Time Life DVDs, the 3 UK "Very Best Of..." DVDs, and the 4-disc HMV UK exclusive box-set... and I have no problem double-dipping (or is that quadruple dipping?) and buying full-season sets (especially as...

    Fraggle DVD coming this summer in the US

    That's a pretty nice looking cover for a budget DVD! Let's hope they sell enough to at least get a season's worth out there (the first season was only 12 episodes - right?!?! So they only need 3 more similar DVDs to do a full season!!!).

    Fraggle DVD coming this summer in the US

    If they're aiming this release at kids (which looks the case) it makes perfect sense to throw one episode of another show on as an extra. The kid is more likely to watch an episode of Pingu than a trailer and if he likes that episode he'll probably persuade his Mom to buy him a Pingu DVD the...

    Fraggle DVD coming this summer in the US

    Does anyone have a scan of the cover yet? I was originally put off by this being a 2 episode disc - but now that it's a 3 episode disc (in episode order no-less!) I may be inerested if I can get it for a good price somewhere (probably eBay).

    Really cool eBay auction I found!

    That is pretty cool - it's a shame the likeness isn't a bit better though :grouchy:
