Yeah... and what's all this with several hundered Sports channels? COMEON!!! They don't even SHOW sports (otherwise Futurama would still be on the air) all they do is show those annoying Sports Center type shows. And do we really need haf the channels out there? And why won't Toon Disney show Darkwing Duck or Tailspin anymore instead of Sub-Brina the Preteen wretch and Teamo Subpar-o?

Hello Welcome I'm Comical DrBob
Last months they were showing The Muppet show on the Disney channel in Australia,but somehow they stopped its still listed in the tv guide but when I went to watch it something stupid was on so I was so annoyed
They played a bit of the 1st season & most of the 3rd season then took it off the air only to replace it with Boy meets world [its on numerous times of the day]
Bye

Yeah, that's typical Disney. In the states, we don't even get that half a month of Muppet magic. We get 24-7 Boy Meets World, Even Stevens (which isn't as bad as you might think), and whatever their other shows are. Sad sad sad sad sad.

Ok,the stupid foxtel guide [paytv operator] for Disney is wrong & I found out that the Muppet Show comes on at the weekends only.

Last time I got a continual fix of the Muppet Show was in the mid 80's when Nick had that Muppet mornings(with The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, and that Andy and Randy thing)
Before then, I hadnt gotten a continual fix of the Muppet Show since its original syndication int he early 80's.
Last time I saw an episode of the Muppet Show was the live Muppet Show in person in 2001....so yeah, definately need to get back into watching that(the recent half hour TMS infomercials piqued my interest though)
Sadly, TMS and Fraggle Rock, arguably two of the greatest shows ever on TV next to Seinfeld...are virtually nowhere to be seen on tv as of late. A true shame. We get endless Wings, Married With Children, MASH, The Nanny, and freaking Home Improvement everyday...but no JHC shows in site(cept for Sesame, which I cant get in due to poor antenna reception)

Where do you get Married with CHildren? THey don't have that anymore over here.
I am sick of all the Darma and Greg/ Will and Grace reruns.
They actually started reruning Newsradio again (it's off and on with us) and they only have 3rd Rock on at like 1 p.m.
But it's not the reruns that bug me, it's those endless Judge Joe Judy Hatchett Wapner Doofus/ Blind X-rated Date presents Soft porn Bull doodoo.

To the person who started this thread:
In case you don't know already, Time-Life is selling 15 TMS videos and DVDs through their website. 45 episodes are available (3 per tape or disc). 2 of those DVDs are now available in stores across the country from Columbia-TriStar, and 2 more are coming in March. It's not quite the same as having them on TV, but if you need a TMS fix, that's the way to go (especially since these episodes are completely uncut).
Hope that helps! And here's to TMS showing up again soon, perhaps on TV Land.

I used to watch "Muppet Matinee" on Nickelodeon all the time! and do TMS DVDs have anything extra on them or are they exactly the same as the tapes?
