Thinking about this, the only thing I can think of that resembles what you have written is "Why Can't We Be Friends?" number from the John Denver episode. Can you give us any more details regarding this skit?

I think your memory is playing tricks on you here as I don't recall any such scene from TMS at all. Sam was not known for his singing, and in fact apart from the Opening Theme I can't recall him singing at all.

Sayer and Coolidge were top recording artists of the 70's. Miller was one of the biggest names in country music in the 60's. His most well-known hit is probably "King of the Road".

You have to bear in mind that Disney may not have been able to clear contemporary clips from British TV shows that the Muppets/Henson appeared on (assuming they did). The second problem you then have is, does such material still exist? If it doesn't...well, that's a no-brainer anyway. I...

While it's disappointing that the Morsels won't be on future sets, I can't say that I'm too sad that they won't available. As good as they were, I think the problem is that compared with other DVDs that use a similar format, they didn't go in to great detail about certain aspects of each...

Someone is selling a still from the Raquel Welch ep of TMS. The still is taken from her opening number. The price is too rich for my blood but I thought someone else might be interested in adding it to their collection -...

The Jim Henson Hour has not been commercially released on DVD, so the only way you are going to get it is if you contact one of the many Muppet traders on these boards.

Thanks for that Danny. I posted some queries on the ATV forum and got a rather detailed response from member Lee Bannister. I may post some of the other things he said in a new thread, but with regards to the Season One compilation... Lee had never heard of this special and suggested that...

The suggestions that I have been given are all very fine but...ummm...people *might* just want to double check my profile. ;)

Well done everyone; I've been trying to find info about that compilation for some time now. Here's what we know about season one in the UK - ATV began airing the series on 5 September, 1976 beginning with the Joel Grey episode. Airings continued for another 15 straight weeks, but then the...

I don't remember seeing Wanda in Celebration of 30 Years. Which table is she sitting at?

I've never heard of the second one, but yes their archive will contain those other two specials. Ideally, I think they should be released individually but the problem is that they're somewhat obscure and rarely seen on TV these days and as such might not sell well.

Technically that is correct, but in reality... Certainly there were five production blocks, each consisting of 24 episodes each, but in the United Kingdom Season Two actually consisted of 30 episodes, while Season Three consisted of 18. The remaining seasons will eventually be released...

Can you be a bit more specific as to what you refer to as the Muppet Show font, please?

Well I can tell you that the Disney Playhouse channel in Australia and New Zealand did play the special over Christmas. If you mean why don't networks play it every year, well then you may as well ask why don't they play every single christmas special ever made for television every year? ;)

*That* version has never been commercially released. In fact, none of the first season TMS guests have ever had any of the versions of the songs they sang on the show commercially released.

Looks good, but unfortunately it doesn't ship to New Zealand. :(

*Sigh!* I'm afraid that to me, this whole idea can be summed up in one word. Dumb. Very dumb. Folks, I hate to bust your bubbles, but the Muppets are not as popular as they once were. They are a product of the golden years of television (1950's to 1980's) and while they were at their peak...

I suspect you're thinking of the James Coco episode of TMS where Rowlf sang "Eight Little Notes", with the Bust of Beethoven joining in.

When the album was released on CD in the 1990's, approx. three songs were left off. The 2006 re-release contains *all* the songs that were on the original LP.
