great dvd submitted by Ele Z. on August 6, 2011, 3:56pm lots of fun

Just A Muppet Sampler submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 15, 2014, 7:36am A few great episodes of one of the greatest, most fun shows ever.

This is still the bar by which shows are judged, particularly ones that appeal to both children and adults. It's more than just a kid's show which grown-ups can bear to have on (Fozzie would come up with a joke here). Built around the idea of a variety show, it delivered variety in every possible way: puppets and humans, puns and slapstick, guest stars whom only the adult viewers would know but whose scenes still entertained the kids. Music, skits, and the craziness going on backstage in the Muppet Theater - an innovative show that holds up.

Watching it as a kid I didn't know much about the guest stars, but I'm impressed now, both by the guest stars willingness to participate in this madness and whoever got them on the show in the first place. I love rewatching these episodes and really appreciating seeing people I know more about now and how the creators integrated their talents into the show.

Classic episodes of a beloved series submitted by doctorfang on July 22, 2014, 3:50pm This disc contains only three episodes of The Muppet Show. The Mark Hamill episode, of course, contains many Star Wars references, and appearances from R2-D2, C3-PO, and Chewbacca. Paul Simon's humor complements the humor of the Muppets themselves, and results in one of the best episodes of this show. And Raquel Welch? Well, I'm not sure how THAT episode ended up on this disc.

Easily Three of the Best Episodes submitted by am_nich21 on August 19, 2023, 1:42am These three episodes are everything you want from the Muppets: zany plots, inexplicable puppets, and a few random explosions, interspersed with genuinely entertaining all-ages television.
