Really good so far.

Kermit: I didn't know that Crazy Harry played an instrument.

What about when he played the triangle in the season one opening. :smile: must have a short-term memory. Lol.

By the way, I asked this before but nobody answered so I thought I'd try again, does anyone know when the episode was where Fozzie first said "Wocka, wocka?" So far I haven't caught it on 'The Muppet Show.' Just in the movies. I'm thinking maybe I missed it somewhere.

Oh, okay. I guess that's why no one answered the last time either. Lol. If I had more time on my hands, maybe I'd go through them from the first ep and find out which one it was. It was probably before the Cloris Leechmen ep, because in that, Fozzie Pig said "Hoga hoga" which was probably a parody of "Wocka wocka." Maybe I'm wrong on that. I still think it might have started in "The Muppet Movie." I guess we'll just have to keep searching.

Fozzie Pig's "Hoga Hoga" is supposed to be a parody of "Wocka Wocka".

Interesting project. I'll see if I can find the first "Wocka Wocka" when I get the chance.

Well, thanks for that info. That indicates that Fozzie most likely first said 'Wocka Wocka' sometime in the second season. Like, I said if I had the time, I'd look through it too and see if I can find it. I'm just really busy this week. I have a tough job. (sigh)

Praise #1: Harry Belafonte episode.

Praise #2: Loretta Lynn episode.

Praise #3: Pearl Bailey episode.

Praise #4: The show took bigger chances this season, especially with the afore-praised Harry Belafonte episode and Loretta Lynn episode (train station) and the Roger Miller episode (cluckitis) and the Lynn Redgrave episode (Robin Hood). They were happy to experiment, and it paid off for all of us.

Praise #5: We saw the introduction of Lew Zealand, a favorite of mine. He's underappreciated.

Praise #6: We were given the Muppets on Puppets special and the Purina Dog Chow commercials. Sure, the audio dropouts are a nuisance and we might ask for MORE commercials, but what we did get is great.

Praise #7: This season includes some classic skits that I remember from childhood and that will always have a special place in my heart, such as "Catch a Falling Star . . ." and "You're Always Welcome at Our House" and, of course, "Inchworm."

Praise #8: Most everything else.
Wow that's almost everything I love about this DVD set. I think Palisades should've made Robin Hood Themed (Lyn Redgrave episode) action figures instead of those Vacation stuff.

Lew Zealand is great. I can't forget that song with Rowlf. "Owt rof Eat and Eat rof Owt" (tune of Tea for Two) hehehe

The three Bear on Patrol episodes were cool! And "The Rhyming Song" on the Loretta Lyn episode still cracks me up.
