Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

[MartyMuppets]

I haven't got my set yet but that sounds very disappointing. Maybe you were just misfortunate enough to pick up a dud copy?

 

[Jon]

I am starting to think so! I'd be interested in the views of uk residents who have bought this ... wonder if it might be a bad batch?




EDIT- Even the Menus`look colour saturated and far from well defined, not at all crisp. Can't be right can it?

 

[MartyMuppets]

It certainly doesn't sound right. Not what you generally expect for DVD quality.

 

[CensoredAlso]

I'm not from the UK, but I agree the picture quality doesn't seem quite as sharp. I don't see anything blurred, but yeah perhaps over saturation of color etc.

 

[Jon]

On further examination apart from the hugely blurred opening section with the curtain rising before the special produced menus, i wil take back what i said about the blurring. However the picture aint as sharp and is much softer.

I wonder if Jim asked for softer lenses to distract from the fleece and foam nature of the cast?

EDIT- Or perhaps disney had a smaller budget for mastering after securing all the music rights?

The Muppet Show Season 2 has won in TWO categories of the TV DVD Awards: "Best 1970s Series" and "Best Children's Series."

I guess this doesn't help deter people from thinking TMS is a "kid's" show, does it?

I hope we will be getting the 3rd season of The Muppet Show on DVD next year because of this!

Yay! Well I do hope Disney happens to notice that.

This is just me, but I don't care if people think TMS is "kids" entertainment. I don't look down on that label. As long as someone is watching and enjoying it. And as long as the Muppets are really acting like the Muppets.

Now I know some people might be turned off because of the "kid" label. But they are wrong. And I wouldn't bend over backwards to make the Muppets appear more "cool" just to please them. It would be counter productive; I wouldn't really be introducing them to the Muppets.

 

[Jon]

Absolutely, it appeals to our inner child and that is something worthy of celebration.

It's a wondrfully crafted kids show with sizable cross generation appeal.
