    YouTube: Never-Before-Seen Muppet Show Footage Surfaces

    I mean exactly that; it's a bit smutty in places.

    YouTube: Never-Before-Seen Muppet Show Footage Surfaces

    Two possible reasons: 1. Disney didn't know of its existence. 2. It was considered too smutty to be released on DVD.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    I was wondering the same thing. Ladies and gents, contrary to Duke's post we don't know the exact reasons why there is a delay. Maybe it is a licencing issue, maybe it's because Disney/Buena Vista are no longer interested in releasing the last two seasons. Whatever, baseless speculation will...

    Jokes You Don't Get/Misheard Lines/Lyrics

    It's a reference to Hare Krishna, which is a religious movement. Stolen cars are usually disguised to make it more difficult for the original owner/Police to spot it. Sam is making the point that based on the colourful/flamboyant clothes that Elton wears, he vaguely resembles what a stolen...

    Guest Stars: Who Enjoyed It & Who Didn't?

    Gladys Knight is wrong - http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/07/731980/ Connie Stevens had previously worked with the Muppets in the 1960's so I think we can knock the idea that she didn't enjoy the experience on the head. Buddy Rich is also wrong -...

    charlietheowl's Random Thoughts: Season 1 of TMS

    The jokes are (usually) puns/play-on-words about houses/architecture. Except that the show isn't always about the interaction between the two. And how exactly are the Mummenschanz supposed to interact with the Muppets, based on the act that they do? Some guests in future seasons do numbers...

    Need Help: Signed Muppet Show Album

    Leyton, perhaps the Antiques Roadshow would be able to assist you in value. Are they going to be anywhere near you this year?

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Actually, I thought Muppet Wizard of Oz was entertaining and had a good script.

    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Now who's talking hyperbole? "Killed the franchise"? I consider The Muppets to be the worst Muppet Movie as I felt it was less a Muppet film and more a Disney film disguised as a Muppet film. It has nothing to do with "some self centered old school fanboy self-righteousness." We're being...

    Question about TMS Season DVD Sets Anniversary Releases

    That was a re-release wasn't it? The original release didn't have the 50th Anniversary tag. None of the other seasons were released at that time.

    What if there had been a Muppet Show season 6?

    Actually, according to Jerry Nelson the only reason they couldn't afford McCartney was because it had to be him, Linda and Wings. I think all the other Beatles turned them down. In terms of Cher, she was booked to be a guest for Season Four, however it's likely that the ITV blackout of 1979...

    Muppet Show Trailers

    The trailer for the Ruth Buzzi episode has been put back on YouTube. Purely by chance, I found the Liberace trailer.

    TMS Seasons 4 and 5 Petition

    You're missing the point; unnamed reliable sources are usually unreliable sources. ISTR a few years back there as a blog post that used the "reliable source" phrase concerning the release of TMS Season Four. I put "reliable sources" in the same category as "source close to the star" - and we...

    TMS Seasons 4 and 5 Petition

    "Reliable source". *Shakes head* If you believe that, you'll believe anything.

    Fav. Miss Piggy moments, also does anyone know which episode had her first karate chop?

    'fraid not; that scene was part of the new material that was taped for that episode in late Summer/early Spring 1976. The first proper chop is the Ruth Buzzi episode as it's the only episode not to have a sound effect dubbed on in post-production.

    Wierd Things you don't get

    Don't think so; the relationship between each character is complex and at times contradictory. Although they metaphorically push and pull at each other constantly, at the end of the day they pull together when it matters the most.

    Scooter being introduced in episode 6

    One other thing to add is that that production order doesn't reflect the taping order. For example, while Cheryl ladd's episode is no. 24 of the third year, her episode was taped prior to the filming of "The Muppet Movie".
