Notice Disney did not say no. These should happen.

I e-mailed back and forth with Disney customer service trying to get a straight answer. Here is what happened:

Muppet Show DVDs

Are there any plans to release the Muppet Show on DVD in seasons sets

RE: RE: Muppet Show DVDs
Dear Disney,
I know that at this time there are no current releases by Disney of The Muppet Show on DVD, but rumors are saying that Disney is working on them and planning to release them. Are there any plans to release the Muppet Show on DVD in seasons sets? And if so can you share some details? Thank you.

Although you said you don't have a release date for "this title" is
there a title for the Muppet Show in the works and coming sometime in the
future? Do you have any information on the future life of the show on DVD?
Thanks again.

Well, after a few e-mails back and forth they said "we don't know". Ugh! The responce with "no release date for this title" had me going, thinking there was a title just with no date attached, but it turns out that is their way of saying "all items in our computers have set dates, and we don't have an item like that in our computer". But they did direct me to someone who may be able to answer the question (hopefully if I can talk to a real person on the phone I can get a straight answer). I'll call tomorrow (hopefully), I also ask anyone else who can to call too (it's toll free) and see if we can get a straight yes they are really coming (and maybe even a when). And also voice your desires for the Muppet Show DVDs to come (and also to get an official announcment with details out (to stop our hopeless guessing games here),

That's the same response I've been getting. Between me and you they gotta come up with something GelflingWaldo

That e-mail back and forth was really funny. That somehow needs to be in print somewhere on the set when it's released!

 

[dwayne1115]

Well thanks for trying anyway. that shows your really pasionit about it. What is Disny doing. I think they are more confuesed then we are ha ha

 

[The Good Doctor]

I would agree with that.

 

[GelflingWaldo]

Disney (being such a large, well known, and watched company) is very careful not to say anything until it is official. So I doubt that we will get any type of confermation out of them until there is an official press release or announcement to back it up. And those types of things don't come out until the release and product details are pretty set in stone and finilized. Being that in November people were being interviewed for bonus features probally means that the disk and disk features are still being worked on and created. Unlike HIT who was willing to answer questions about Fraggles to the best of the ability, Disney is more likely to say nothing one way or another until they have all the facts ready.

 

[christyb]

Yes. But we all would still like to know something. Arrggghhhh! This waiting thing is killing me.

 

[Beauregard]

That's the same response I've been getting. Between me and you they gotta come up with something GelflingWaldo

SO, has anyone called the toll-free number?

 

[christyb]

I did once upon a time. Frankly got soooooo frustrated with people who had no more of an idea than I did...So I haven' t called back since.
