Heard it on the radio this morning. All through the first half of (a three hour) class I couldn't stop waving my hands and squeaking. I can't wait!! With Fraggle Rock and Sesame Street airing, the Muppetyness will be kept well alive, even without the ABC series!!

I want to know if the line "Gee, Gobo" that was edited out of The Hub's broadcast of one episode because one guy thought it sounded like a racial slur has been restored here.

Personally, I would be very happy if it didn't look like the trainwreck "remastering" that Freeform's broadcast of the Bells episode last year was. Why...why did they make it look like it was filmed? I mean, there's all those cleaned up DVD transfers they could have used, even if they wanted to cheat a widescreen ratio. It looked like the 30 something year old puppet show was 40 something years old and kept in a dank basement. HBO I'd hope won't have to edit episodes like 8 minute commercial break 5 times a half hour Freeform did.

This is exciting news, though I don't have HBO, any word on whether the remastered versions will be released on DVD / Blu Ray? I only own "Where it all Began" on DVD...
