Customer Rating:      Summary: The Muppet Show Season 1 Rocks! Comment: Great to share this part of my childhood with my children! It's the Muppet's, if only a television executive could bring back similar programming now for children and adults to enjoy!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Still charming and delightful for the family Comment: I also grew up watching The Muppet Show--it was a family event every week to catch Kermit and the gang being their silly selves. Now my family enjoys it too. I know it will be wholesome family entertainment we can feel comfortable showing to our young kids, and it brings back great memories.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good for Kids Comment: I don't remember the show being this corny, but I was a tiny tot. My 3 year old loves this. I look at it now and think wow, how times have changed with kid shows.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Classics Comment: I've always loved the Muppet Show....since I was a kid. Great series, good quality and I will for sure buy the second season.
Customer Rating:      Summary: US version is NOT complete Comment: Due to Disney's aquisition of the Muppets franchise these episodes are missing key elements originally broadcast. Song licensing problems from Disney has meant that many classic moments have been cut.
The Cuts Include-
"You've Got A Friend" Sung by Vincent Price
"Old Fashioned Way" Sung by Charles Aznavour
"All Of Me" (Paul Williams Episode) Sung by Two Monsters
"The Danceros" (Jim Nabors Episode) Sung by The Danceros
"Gone with the Wind" Sung by Jim Nabors
"Stormy Weather" Sung by Wayne and Wanda
There are also cuts in the intro sequences and backstage chit chat preceding the songs. Also two Muppet News sketches and a balcony scene featuring Statler and Waldorf are missing.
If you want the FULL UNCUT episodes I sugest buying the UK Region 2 version instead of this butchered so called "Special Edition"
