Muppet shows on in the U.S.?

[rexcrk]

Are there any Muppet shows currently running in the U.S.A.? Thanks

At the very bottom of ToughPigs.com, there's a list of Henson shows currently on the air and those not.

I believe Canada is getting The Muppet Show soon though.

I think it's pretty insane that the US don't have it, especially with the push the past couple years for the 25th Anniversary and the resurgance of the Muppets back into pop culture.

That's too bad, I'd really like to see it. What's the deal? Why aren't they airing it in America?

I'm right there with ya, I don't get why it's not airing.

Did you know that there are 45 episodes available uncut on DVD and VHS? ....

The Muppet Show will be back on TV in the US, these things always go in cycles. I know for awhile Hallmark (formerly Odyssey) still owned the rights to air the show even though they haven't shown it on TV since 2001.

Wow that's a lot of DVDs! I didn't know they had 15 of 'em! I've only seen like, 4 or 5 different ones

I remember watching it a couple years on Odyssey (in fact, I've even got "The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson" taped from Odyssey)
