Just FYI -- according to DVD Talk at this link:

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/bargain.php

Columbia TriStar has finally announced the release of the next set of Muppet Show DVDs, due out Mar. 4. They continue to follow the Time-Life chronology, as Vol. 3 is the Harry Belafonte et al. disc and Vol. 4 is the Peter Sellers et al. disc.

Also, on Mar. 4 Columbia TriStar is releasing "Superbit" editions of Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.

Anybody know what "Superbit" means?

"Super Bit" DVDs are exclusive to Columbia Tri-Star (for now) and contain higher resolution images than most DVDs and higher quality dolby 5.1 sound. Unfortunately, the advanced bitrate of the disc's audio and video fill up most the DVD and the majority of them have no extra features because of this.

They are probably the highest-quality DVDs out there and they play on most DVD players, but are probably not worth buying unless you have a high quality DVD player and TV set or monitor to watch them with.
