The Muppet Show - The Complete Third Season (1976)

Muppets ROCK!

Long time Muppet fans like me, who have taped some episodes back in the days, have long awaited for these restored and remastered DVD reissues to get ride of those old dusty VHS! I own all three sets, and they are fantastic! This one is no less.

The Main Features: As you access the interactive menu, you'll face some funny skits by Kermit and Piggy. As we should and can expect from a Disney release, this set features all the 24 episodes of season 3, fully restored and shiny, and most important complete with UK skits.

Bonus material: Altough video quality is very high, you'll notice audio skips and mutes from time to time. Even I have seen copies of the rare 1968 documentary "Muppets on Puppets" with full audio. The master original must have been damaged. But that's the only down point.
Then we have a set of vintage 1960s Purina Dog Chow commercials, with Rowlf and Baskerville, that are a treat to see, altough very short, and a featurette by the name of " A Company of Players ", with interviews and such. Very interesting.

Conclusion: Very recommended. If you are a Muppet fan and lover, this will bring back countless memories! July 23, 2008

Brings back so many memories AND stands the test of time

Wow! What can I say. The Muppet Show was my first favorite television program and will forever be associated with great memories of hanging out with my parents, just laughing and having a good time. My immediate memories of the show were hazy from time, but I was really surprised at how much of this stuff I remembered and the overwhelming sense of familiarity I have with the show. It's like seeing an old friend after years apart and not missing a beat -- there's no need to catch up because everything that was once there still is!

So funny, so creative, so groundbreaking, so great.

I highly recommend checking out these DVD sets. If you are unfamiliar with the series, you will certainly be pleased. And if it's been awhile since you last checked in with the Muppets, your old friends are just as great as you remember.

And to tide you over while waiting for your order to arrive, here's a taste of what the Muppets are up to today:
