Dvds

[behemoth]

Right now TimeLife has 15 volumes of the best of the Muppet Show on DVD. But I heard somewhere that they are supposed to be releasing 5 more for a total of 20 DVDS. Has anyone heard about this or know what episodes will be on them. Its too bad they have no plans to release full season sets on DVD. Oh yeah one more thing.....does anyone remember a sketch on the muppet show where i guy was in his house singing or something and he had a bunch of birds. And then at the end a huge bird crashed through the wall and took the bird out of the cage and put the man in it. Does anyone know what this sketch is called or know what episode it was from?

That sketch is from the Nancy Walker episode.

That sketch can also be seen in the Playhouse video "Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff".

Are they going to be releasing all 20 on Video too or are the last five just going to be released on DVD?

This reminds me...

At Muppet Show Live, Bunsen was talking to Kermit about "these new fangled CD's/DVD's, which I'm sure everyone knows about by now" and my buddy Scarecroe shouted out, Kermit, Bunsen, Beaker, and Pepe (?) looked up and Kermit said to him, "Well, HE knows about them!"

It's Columbia Tristar who has the adidtional 5 volumes on their slate, but that's only if they ever get around to them. They're taking their time releasing them even more than Time-Life did. With only two volumes being released at a time (so far), and no sign of a release date for the next pair, we could be here for a while. Some cool company needs to step in, take over and do a complete boxed set.

I just went to Virgin Megastore and they have the lamest old shows in DVD boxed sets. I just wonder - why not the Muppets? Just weirdness.
