Your episode list for The Muppet Show DVD's 16-20

[Daffyfan4ever]

I've been meaning to ask about something on this subject. Is there any store where I can purchase these without ordering from Timelife or any company? Timelife forgot to send me a copy of Volume 6. I got a DVD player for Christmas and I would especially like to find either a VHS or DVD that one somewhere. I would also like to get volumes 16-20 without reordering. How would I go about doing that?

Volumes 16-20 don't exist yet. There's no way to get them. As things stand now, Time-Life will offer those first though. If you purchased vol. 6 from Time-Life and they left it out of your order or sent you another title by mistake, they usually happily do an exchange if you write them and thoroughly explain your situation. Fill out a customer service form on their site and they will help you out.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll look into that. Another thing I'm wondering about, and this is changing the subject, but is there any video store where I can purchase "Muppet Family Christmas?" My mom works as a teacher's aide and she was watching it with her students the other day and she said she wanted to see it again. I was thinking of buying it for her birthday. Any suggestions on this?

Of the non-Time Life series, I have the following already on VCD (for trade):

15. Paul Williams, Florence Henderson, Valerie Harper
16. Candice Bergen, Marisa Berenson, Buddy Rich (first 2 mins. missing)
17. James Coco, Phyllis Diller, Connie Stevens (this one has the Bert song)
18. Avery Schrieber, Kaye Ballard, Mummenshanz
19. Don Knotts, Zero Mostel, Rich Little
20. Milton Berle, Judy Collins, Nancy Walker
21. Lou Rawls, Petula Clark, Jaye P. Morgan (not burned yet but will if interested)

(I know that Mummenshanz is on one of the dvd's but I missed it)
Anyway these are the recent Canadian airings, with a few more on the way, hopefully.

Well, no offense to you or anything, but most people who I've offered to trade with online haven't kept their word to send me something, so I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.

(What do you think of this, Disney? Time-Life Video was planning to use more DVD's. Perhaps you could bring the rights of the Muppetsto Time-Life, in case you don't have the rights to do a complete version, and tell Time-Life to immediatly bring the rights of the Muppets back to you. : Okay?)

I have been thinking about starting a thread like this for a long time. i have thought about this since I heard that Columbia was releasing the time-life DVDs and releasing an additional 5 volumes. I guess it's too late now, but this is what I would have included:

Volume 16: Linda lavin, Phyllis George, and Zero Mostel.
Volume 17: Shirley Bassey, Kaye Ballard, and Leo Sayer.
Volume 18: Hal Lindon, Valerie Harper, and Kris Kristofferson & Rita Kooledge
Volume 19: Paul Williams, Avery Schrieber, and Loretta Switt.
Volume 20: Rich Little, Judy Collins, and Leslie Uggums.

 

[Dil]

I'm sorry, you've got to prefer my list. Only two of the episodes on your list, Minor Muppetz, have generic intros. A lot of the specifiez episodes have some pretty memorable things to see to me.

 

[Dil]

Oops! I meant that only two of the episodes on your list, Minor Muppetz, have SPECIFIC intros. I miswrote my post.

Anyway, here's a perfect list of The Muppet Show DVD's 16-20:

(What do you think, (Disney)? If you don't have the rights about that, OK, here's the plan: You could bring the rights of The Muppets to Time-Life, then Time-Life would be honored to make volume 16-20 of The Best of The Muppet Show, and you would also ask Time-Life to bring you back the rights of the Muppets immediately after the volumes from 16-20 are released all done. After all, it's the 30th Anniversary of The Muppet Show. Would this be a deal?)
