IIRC, there was a German release of the Best of the Muppet Show but I can't remember if that had the Twiggy episode on it or not.

I'd sign it, but only on the grounds that if they did being them back that they went into more detail than they do on the first season set eg deleted scenes, comparisons between early versions and transmitted versions etc

They're not; it sounds like the problem is your end. I suggest that you go through your DVD player's set-up menu and see if there is an option for having subtitles on automatically.

That's because it is Jim performing his own character, Rowlf, on that number.

I think people are having some difficulty in distinguishing the difference between caricature and unintentional racial slurs. Bear in mind that a lot of those Looney Tunes cartoons showed characters with blacked-up faces and speaking in mock asian accents. Placing those cartoons in their...

It sounds like him, but it isn't him.

I'd keep them; even though I've got the first two season sets, I've still got some off-air episodes on VHS that use the HIT! logo which I intend on keeping. That way I can compare and contrast with other fans on the different endings that were used over the years. Sorry Bill, but that's...

Small error on my behalf in last post - Muppet Movie began production in Summer 1978, hence the hiatus that occurs during production of TMS Season Three. Re-read copy of Christopher Finch's Jim Henson: The Works book. Sorry about that.

Of Muppets & Men should be left until Season Five. The 60 Minutes report would be good. I would ignore some of those other specials though - ideally we want things that are relevant to TMS.

Some answers to the queries about the order: The episodes are being presented in production code order - each show was assigned a number from 1 - 120 (if you've read Of Muppets & Men you'll know that Linda Ronstadt's was show 119). One of the key reasons for discrepancies in character...

As Bill points, the whole joke was never told onscreen. All we know is that these two bananas are walking down and the street and one of them says to the other...

No he doesn't; the Muppets that appear that number are the Woodland creatures from "For What It's Worth", the Woodpecker, Fozzie, Scooter, Rowlf, Robin, Kermit and Beauregard. Gonzo appears onstage in the goodnight, so it's possible that he may have been in that number as well (albeit in...

Couple of points: 1. I think having chapter points for each section only is a smart move rather than having them for *every* sketch/song. If you look at most archive television on DVD, they do the same thing with chapter points. I think it would be too clumsy trying to have chapter points...

There is a repeat, but it was intentional.

It was the closing shot of Zoot I was referring to, so technically the set isn't "uncut".

Don't ask me when it comes out Region 4 'cause I don't know (I'm guessing July/August). In the meantime a couple of questions: 1. Which version(s) of the end credits are used on the set? 2. Am I right in assuming that the original end shots from the Harry Belafonte, Loretta Lynn and Roger...

Were there Muppet appearances last year to promote the Season Two DVD?

Ummm...why would there be Muppet talk show appearances soon?

It's simple - the Muppets just aren't as popular as they were in the 1970's. Yes, they have a very large fanbase and people have nostalgic memories of TMS etc BUT at the end of the day that's about as far as it goes. The real problem is that television networks rarely schedule shows like TMS...

Jim Henson is credited as writer on all 120 episodes of TMS, so I don't know where you got six from (probably IMDB). Nevertheless, Jerry Juhl was the Muppets' head writer so it naturally would have been his job to come up with the screenplay.
