I just have to say that I’m really excited about complete seasons of the “The Muppet Show” finally being released! We would watch that show every week and it was always exciting when Kermit announced the name of the guest star. My favorite skit was “Pigs in Space” (of which a playset is available). I also had a fondness in my heart for anytime Dr. Bunson Honeydew and Beaker were on stage as well as the Swedish Chef. The chickens skits were cute too. I loved that there was always this ridiculous mayhem “backstage” but the muppets always pulled it together for “onstage.”
I particularly liked Kermit the Frog (”Kermie” to those more intimate with him) because even though something always went wrong, he was able to keep things going and help everyone get along in the end. I guess he’s always appealed to the peacemaker in me.
Anyhow, here are some recent and upcoming DVD releases that I’m excited about:
