Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie on the Hallmark Channel

[Jeffrey Gray]

But why bother even watching them? Hallmark has always been known to take every Henson program they show and hack it to ribbons...

Jeff,

Because we love the Muppets, If we didnt watch everything that had cuts then we would watch hardly anything.

Well you guys in the states wouldnt, Remember you could say that The Muppet Show was cut !


See ya

It's *very* good. It's one of my favorite specials (perhaps more than MFC). The songs are just wonderful...

Jake,

You can hear the music from "Emmet Otter's Jug-band Christmas" on Muppet Central Radio.

Paul Williams ("The Muppet Movie", "Muppet Christmas Carol") wrote all the songs for this special.

It's "MFC"

I looked up Dec. 15th on www.tvguide.com, and it lists the 1:00 showing on the Hallmark channel as "The Muppet Family Christmas". Clicking on the title brought up a box which listed "Sunday, Dec. 22 at 6:00pm" as an "additional showing" of the same title. No word yet on whether the 1:00 showing on the 22nd will also be MFC.

Hope this helps - set your VCRs and cross your fingers that it's uncut! I know I'll be taping it!

<hugs!>

Odyssey cut it when they showed it in 1999 and 2000, so I wouldn't be too sure (but they didn't cut the songs, I know that...)

The other special is Emmet Otter

Again per tvguide.com, Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas will be shown on Hallmark on December 22nd at 1:00 pm.

Wish they would just show their so-called "Jim Henson Presents" all year round and not just during Christmas.

Huh, I miss Odyssey.

DO you think they're cutting down MMC? and what is TCT?
