I think I've been deprived...I've only seen a couple episodes of Pigs In Space...where is the best place to find some that I can watch? Did PIS originate on The Muppet Show? Sorry for all the questions...

 

[Fozzie Bear]

Currently, I've been in the process of collecting all the PIS sketches onto one video in chronological order of appearance, but my VCRs have gone on the blitz so that part of my project is kaput.

Foz, go ahead and try getting a "DVD burner" for those PIS eps. Good Luck and send me anything on where to get video clips of Muppets please! I'm desperate for some of the Sam and Friends bits including the Wilkins commercials. Is Wilkins still operational? If so, what is their website?

DVD burners cost money that I don't have. I'll see if a friend can digitize it for me, once I get my VCRs going and can finish my project...something is up with the connections and it's just all wrong.

I've been working on the project though, and I hope it'll be worth it; but, the video collection is NOT the project that I'm working on.
