Good find Leanne.

It looks like it will contain both 30min eps that the Muppets featured on?

Its released in March, I wonder what bonus material will be on it? Maybe the you tube virals? BoRap?

Wow! I'm totally gonna order this. Thanks for the tip!

I haven't seen this officially announced anywhere, so this may just be a rumor, but I have seen on UltimateDisney's site (and they tend to be on target with all things Disney) that there is a June 2010 release scheduled for The Muppets: Studio DC- Almost Live in Region 1. I assume this would be both specials released on DVD.

So totally buying these when they come out on DVD. I recorded both, but having official DVDs without commercials or logos or anything is much preferred.

I gotta say I am surprised that no one has commented on having watched these yet! I bought it moments after it was released and have seen it in stores here as well that would usually never carry Muppet movies! (Of course I moved it to the front and centre of the video piles, I am a good fan )

Anyway! I thought it was SO much better than the original! There are so many really funny moments with the Muppets given a chance to just simply mess around for once. No pathos for Gonzo, no semi-serious breakup for Kermit and Piggy, no Kermit being the leader, or Fozzie having to prove himself...just them as themselves messing around and having one heck of a good time.

The outtakes and improvised making-of/behind the scenes stuff is comedy gold and the Muppeteers at their best (improvising), and every member of the EM band gets great lines -- Floyd gets fanTASTIC lines, and Dr Teeth gets a really really great moment with Demi.

If you've seen the original on youtube and thought it was carelessly thrown together and not worth your money, rethink and buy the dvd. It's worth it just for extended Rizzo/Pepe scenes and the outtakes!

Sounds fun. Your review is one of the main reasons I plan on getting this when it comes to the US.

I got last week and just got round to watching it. I didn't really like the show when I saw it on Disney Channel, but hey, new Muppets DVD had to be bought. I must say the bonus features were more enjoyable for me than the actual feature. I think my problem with the show is the real people because they all seem so wooden and forced. The Muppet performances are great and it's worth getting. Not likely to get much cheaper though as seems to be the case with all Disney DVDs

I got it when it first came out, really good I was a fan when it was on the disney channel. Really impressed that we got it here in the UK first. I hope they continue to make more, as it is really good to see Disney using the Muppets as they were originally made.

It gets the thumbs up from me.
