Say Goodbye to Muppet Show DVD's

[BigTiny]

It seems that Time-Life no longer offers the Muppet Show DVD's. When I heard this I was shocked and though, 'no way'. I quickly searched their site and found that sure enough, 'The requested product is no longer available.'...

Wow, I figured it would be Christmas before this happened. I guess eBay will be the only place to get them (short of the 1zies/2zies at local stores)...

I wonder if Disney will reissed any of the Muppet Show.

Sorry you missed the news. It had been posted here for weeks.

You may want to sign up for our mailing list at the link below. It was mentioned there several times as well that TMS DVD's were not going to be available as of June 30.

Disney was going to charge Time-Life a high royalty for each disc Time-Life sold after June 30. Time-Life decided it was in their best interest to not sell them anymore.

The Columbia TMS DVD's are currently still available, but they won't be for long either. You can get those here...

Someone also posted that Costco has TMS DVD's in two-packs for $12.99 each. And there's always eBay as well.

Thats a shame. I guess that means Australia won't see a release of the muppet show on DVD in the near future if they are discontinuing them in the US.

they never did release the last ones that would complete the dvds to thew videos did they?

Well they didnt release every muppet show episode either. It would have been nice if they did, hopefully someone will one day.

 

[Raech]

actually I don't know the answer to my question.

Did they ever release the additional DVDs to make the set as complete as the VCR tapes?

I know they never did all the eps that actually was not my question.

Mabe Disney will make some.

Yes Time-Life did catch up the DVD's with the original VHS tapes.

The first six tapes debuted in November 2000 with the other nine arriving in March 2001. The first ten DVD's were released in July 2001 with the other five DVD's hitting the streets summer 2002.
