Why banned?

Dil - neither of your posts make any sense whatsoever. From memory, the Muppet Labs sketches don't feature any music that couldn't be cleared so I'm sure all scenes featuring Beaker will be there when/if the second season set is released. The Muppets are only a small part of Disney, and...

That's from the 2nd version of the Juliet Prowse episode. Muppy is J. P. Grosse's favourite pet, or at least that's what Scooter claimed. Muppy had been given his own dressing room by Kermit (albeit reluctantly) and he now wanted to change the title of the show. After reading it, Kermit went...

Which is odd, considering that Rhino Records, who own the Monkees back catalogue have constantly been releasing material since the late 1980's on a (fairly) regular basis. Look at the Missing Links series, the CD reissues of the original LPs and even the current Deluxe reissues. Monkees fans...

With respect Pug, I don't think it's wise to advertise this type of thing, considering that you are breaking copyright laws.

That and the fact that the sketches were (usually) old UK Music Hall numbers that the US audience wouldn't have identified with.

From memory it was mainly their eyes and eyebrows that stayed the same. Scooter kept his glasses and didn't Kermit keep his collar?

Indeed, it was the UK spot for that episode which was the final for that season to be recorded.

I already started a thread on this a few months back in this section called "Le Muppet Show". Unfortunately, I can't find the link as the search function isn't working properly. Mods - is there anyway you could possibly combine the two threads together?

We could...or we could not because we're not keen on breaking the law. And hello, welcome to the boards.

A little bit pricey? My friend, I can't see many people bidding for that item at that price. $1000 USD is a ludicrous asking price.

What in the world does that mean or indeed have to do with my last post?

Okay I think I know what you mean. A lot of the characters had previously appeared in different Muppet TV specials/series/commercials so most US viewers would already know some (if not most) of the characters were anyway.

Further to that last point - the rights to a song are (usually) owned by an individual and unless they give a movie company like Disney permission, or unless they have come to some other arrangement like ITC did with all of its TV series, then I'm afraid that particular song can not be used for...

How do you mean they don't introduce who the Muppets are?

I refuse to judge the episodes on the grounds that it makes it too easy for those who haven't seen them.

Wacky Races was an unsuccessful show? If it was, it's certainly a cult classic today.

We can only hope but I suspect that cuts will probably be made to other sets. Don't quote me on that though.

Australia and New Zealand Time Life only offered the videos and not the DVDs. Were the videos NTSC conversions or proper PAL episodes?

Or maybe because Twiggy is a nickname as opposed to a proper christian name. As an aside, if there was more than one guest he never used the title Mr or Miss.
