I finally got ahold of the PAL MFC European dvd release. It was nice to FINALLY see an unedited version of this; however...digging a little deeper it appears to NOT be "unedited", but missing a key scene with Fozzie and Ma Bear hanging stockings(as well as a brief scene with Rizzo and Elmo) Other than these two scenes, is the UK release complete?

I first saw it around Christmas of 1988 on ABC, so I guess I was lucky to see the "full version".

But for those who've complained endlessly about MFC re-edit, just get the European PAL version or see the missing scenes in their 8 minute entirety on youtube.

(I have both the 1998 vhs and the 2001 dvd release as well)

I wouldn't say that those are key scenes. It's missing a few minutes that I believe were commercial bumpers in the US
