Will be great for a nostalgic look back. Hope they include the Rocky Balboa episode.

My kids love the old Muppet movies. Can You Picture That is officially my daughter's favorite song.

As a kid, I geeked out when Luke, Threepio and Artoo appeared on the show.

I haven't seen Veterinary Hospital or Pigs.....in.....SPAAAAAACE! in so long. Really looking forward to that.

I love the idea of this. I wonder if it holds up.

I know this is about the muppet show but the Muppets was the best one season show of the last decade


Such a shame it got cancelled

For anyone that find themselves in Atlanta, I can't recommend the Center for Puppetry Arts enough... The main draw is the Jim Henson section and I could have spent an entire day there.

This is my dad's all-time favorite



and mine of course!

I'd never seen that. Jim Henson is an American icon.

Loved the Muppet show, loved the recent office style one. There is something on Disney+ right now but it just hasn't been as good. Lot of one shots, I think they're just experimenting to see what sticks.

Disney hasn't had much respect for the Muppets. Them using a free version of the editing software for the Disney+ show, including the watermark on the screen, was a low point.

You're going to have to dumb that one down for me, I don't get the connection.

It's a joke from the original Muppet movie

"No..no..no. That's a myth."

"A what?"

"A myth. Myth."

One of my favorite "gifs" from the earlier, more innocent days of the internet:

This announcement absolutely made my day yesterday! I bought seasons 1, 2, and 3 on DVD when my son was a baby - 16 years ago! They never released any complete seasons beyond #3. There were some special 3 episode DVD releases that had episodes from later seasons (like the Star Wars episode), but never all of them.

Season 1 does have some weird episodes. It took a few before they hit their stride.

I believe there are/were a few copyright issues with some of the episodes.

It's on my bucket list. There is also a museum in Queens, NY called the Museum of the Moving image that has quite a few Muppet/Jim Henson artifacts. They were just months away from opening the Jim Henson display when we went to NYC. I put that trip off for a long time hoping the exhibit would open but finally gave up.

Thanks for sharing that! EOJBC was my absolute favorite Christmas show as a kid. I had it on DVD, but loaned it to a friend and never got it back.

I remember when JH died. I was 12 and absolutely heartbroken. I thought The Muppets would never be the same (and they aren't, but I still enjoy them).

Jim Henson's funeral and the special Muppet Show tribute to Jim Henson are both on YouTube and are both incredibly touching, sad, funny and impactful.
