I've never heard of it before. Was it just released? I'm guessing it was, since a whole load of Ed Sullivan DVD's have been released over the past year or so. Am I right?

I'm not entirely sure on all the details but it's a compilation of Xmas show highlights from the Ed Sullivan show. I believe one of the clips is of Kermit & Piggy singing one of the songs from Muppet Christmas Carol which presumably they were promoting at the time (can't recall which song though!).

If anyone gets this I'd love to read your thoughts - it's not high on my list of Muppet stuff to pick up but I could be convinced otherwise!!!

I got it the other day DVDPlanet.

It's a christmas special from '92 that has clips from old Sullivan XMas Specials as well as "live" performances by Sullivan regulars such as Jonny Mathis and Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Bob Nehart hosts the special.

K & P open the show and do a short skit w/ Newhart, then The Muppets (including Kerm & Piggy along w/
:concern: :embarrassed: :confused: :eek: Rizzo and a Penguin for good measure) sing "It Feels Like Christmas" from MCC all in there costumes from the film a recreation of the Cratchet house used in the film.

these (in my opinion) are the best parts of the whole hour special. well and Topo Gigio ...
Goodnight Eeeeeeedyyyyy

Hope that helps.
