Muppet Family Christmas: Official Talkback Forum

[Super Scooter]

Y'know what one of the things I really like about MFC is that it focuses mainly on the Muppets as opposed to human characters. The only humans were Doc, who fit in nicely, Santa, who had a very brief cameo, and my favorite, Jim Henson! I mean, humans are great (like Scrooge and Long John) but it's really about the Muppets!

Huh? When was Santa Clause in Muppet Family Christmas? I don't remember him being in there.

Unless you're thinking of Doc entering at the end dressed as Santa. That's about it, though.

Unedited Muppet Family Christmas

Anyone out there have a copy of the unedited Muppet Family Christmas that you'd like to trade or know where to buy one? I'm feeling the need. Thanks.

Whoa You know what I noticed last night while watching Muppet Family Christmas last night? Sweetums was missing from it! I find it hard to believe.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. My guess is they already had Big Bird taking up lots of space. No Snuffy or Telly (unless I missed him) either.

My fiance's parents taped all of the Christmas specials off of the TV back when she was young. I couldn't believe all of the specials she had on the tapes, that I had forgotten about while we were scanning them looking for a Muppet Family Christmas. Sure enough we found the unedited version, and watched it. For the last four or five years we had been watching the edited version on the tape I bought, and didn't even realize the cut out scenes. When I saw the version from TV I was shocked that they took out such great scenes. I really hope that they bring out a fully restored version.

We just watched this again the other night, (the more-or-less unedited verson from Nickelodeon a few years back), and we've been quoting from it ever since. This special is one of my favorite Muppet projects of all time. Everything about is it so perfect--hilarious and heartwarming! I remember the first time I saw it, my jaw dropped about a foot when the Sesame Street gang showed up!

Ida know, it could have been the "real" Santa, played by the actor who does Doc.
