Given that he also had some onscreen bit parts on the Jim Henson Hour, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see those either.

Yeah, I'm not holding out hope for Jim Henson Hour but I feel like there may be a chance to get Muppets Tonight on there. It has a much more modern feel than JHH and there was considerably less music used when compared to TMS.

Now that you mention it, I don't know why I'd be saying this, but I agree with you.

Though I wonder how Disney would have to release The Jim Henson Hour in any sort of way on Disney+. They could just limit it to these two episodes, and one special:
Oceans
Secrets of the Muppets
Food

...as Langham doesn't seem to make an appearance in any of the three.

The Jim Henson Hour had the worst representation; I highly doubt it will get any form of release period.

I doubt JHH would even come to streaming due to the licensing rights.

I’m gonna be blunt with you, they’re not gonna have the episode. End of story, bye bye, see you later.

Edit: Besides I heard Joe from Toughpigs talked with Disney and it was confirmed that they will not put the episode on the Disney+.
And that one's not on the Disney DVDs or on TimeLife, so in the immortal words of Salem Saberhagen: (sob) (sob) (sob) (sob)

But I guess I get why Disney wouldn't support a person like that. Probably would be like Disney airing reruns of The Cosby Show. That would be a no no on their part as well. It just would have been nice to see that ep somewhere since it is part of the TMS collection.

I don't know about you but seeing a convicted creeper isn't really nice especially with the Muppets.

The thing is Disney could just go the victim-blaming route and release the episodes..... but even as someone who dislikes them as a company, I know they’re smarter than that.
