COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Alice Cooper And Liberace submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 15, 2014, 7:23am Alice freaking Copper. And Liberace. ...That sums up The Muppet Show.

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 seeing performers I actually am familiar with now mingling with the Muppets.

A slice of 1970s heaven submitted by doctorfang on July 22, 2014, 3:47pm Alice Cooper AND Raquel Welch AND Liberace -- all on one disk! What more could you ask for? The Muppet Show captures a slice of 1970s culture with this disk in particular. Raquel Welch's scenes seem a bit racy for kids by today's standards, which might remind some of us who lived through watching them as kids that we need to lighten up! The humor of The Muppet Show is timeless and still appeals to all ages.
