This is only a theory, however after viewing the News Flash from the Mummenschanz episode of TMS I reckon this sketch was taped around about June 1976. There are three "versions" of the Muppet News Man; the first version the character's eyes are half-closed, the second version the eyes are wide...

I have the opportunity to buy a second-hand PAL VHS of A Muppet Family Christmas. The label is Palace (same one that released "Go to the Movies", "30 Years" and UK edit of "Muppet Movie".) I would like to know as to which version of the special this is. The duration is 47 minutes, the front...

Considering that neither of them have ever been in a relationship in the real world sense, I find it more infuriating that international media are taking this story so seriously. They're being spoon-fed and they don't seem to care.

Some photos from the Brooke Shields and Diana Ross episodes of the Muppet Show have been put up on eBay. If you are thinking of bidding for these, my advice is don't. To me, they look like screenshots that are being sold as photos. The tell-tale signs (to me) are the size of the photos - 4 x...

Does anyone know if the original January 1976 edit of the Connie Stevens Pilot episode of TMS still exists in full? If so, does anyone know of a copy floating around somewhere?

Rex Images is one of Britain's leading press agents. The images in their database are available for global media organisations and those who work for a professional organisation. Members of the public can search their database, however they are unable to download any of the images. That's why...

That and the fact that most of us are unable to get access to them, unless we work in an industry where we would be able to download them.

www.rexfeatures.com Go to that site, search for Muppet Show, click to Refine your search on the left-hand bar to Oldest, and then tell me what you get.

We should also remember the Muppet connection with Stan Freberg; the cast of Sam & Friends used to lip synch to some of Stan's recordings. Here's one of the few surviving clips:

Muppet Show Music Consultant Ray Charles has died. Here's the only report I've found about his death. http://variety.com/2015/legit/news/ray-charles-leader-of-ray-charles-singers-who-backed-perry-como-dies-at-96-1201467922/

British TV Historian Andrew Pixley recently came across some paperwork for the Muppet Show while doing some research for 1970's British TV and has posted the following on a non-Muppet forum... * There are no studio bookings for the Harvey Korman show; this seems to have been taped in part with...

The UK version was released on VHS in 1987, though it's now out of print. You would need to check eBay to see if it turns up, though I should point out that the VHS will be in the PAL format.

The credits are different in the US version; they scroll up the middle of the screen. There's also a commercial break after Fozzie knocks over the Muffets Go to the Movies title and one before the end credits in the US version.

Does anyone have an unabridged copy of the UK version of the Muppets Go to the Movies? I've just bought the PAL VHS and it doesn't have commercial breaks and the ATV notice has been removed. I'm wanting to know where were there commercials and were there commercial bumpers like they had with...

Normally I am a very calm poster on the internet. On this occasion DON'T BLOODY WELL DO SUCH A RIDICULOUS THING!!! What exactly is this going to achieve? Answer: nothing except the ire of the Walt Disney Company. I understand that fans are exasperated at the lack of news about a potential...

Except they didn't; the category was Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program. From 1974 to 1978 the award was for Outstanding Actor or Actress in a Variety Show or Special. The award was never handed out in the 1979 or 1980 ceremonies, hence the reason why no season three or four...

Or perhaps old stock that had not been sold at the time.

Perhaps it's my imagination, however I seem to recall that Liberace interacts with Scooter, Statler & Waldorf, Sam, Fletcher Bird, Rowlf, various Bird puppets, Kermit, Gonzo... Seems to me like he *did* interact with the Muppets. As for not doing anything funny or memorable, I would have said...

"Biggest role"?

Actually, he doesn't appear in the Loretta Lynn episode.
