I wish the whole collection of Time Life DVDs would be sent to my house. Then I'd be cool.

I think part of the reason a lot of Henson stuff is not on air is that they have a reputation for demanding high license fees. If you're a TV programmer and you can get Happy Days for $250* an episode versus The Muppet Show for $500 you're going to go to decide to go with the Fonz instead of the Foz.

You and me both, pal. If TMS was on TV, I wouldn't be quite as upset about missing vol. 6 from Timelife. I could just tape it. I don't know though. Even if the show WAS on TV, they still wouldn't have the UK spots and some times they're the best parts. I don't know.BoyRaisin2 said:
