DVD Reviews of The Muppet Show - Season Two
DVD Review: Season 2, more of the best of Muppets!
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? It's the muppets at their best! This one, like season 3, came with the "fuzzy" velvet covers. Great entertainment!DVD Review: Gotta love a classic!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Just like season 1, this DVD does not disappoint! It's got great episodes and is fun for the whole family! The extras are a bit sparse, but because there are so many episodes, there are hours of enjoyment either way! For anyone who is a true muppet fan, or just looking to reminisce this is a great product! DVD Review: Of course I love the Muppets, but the release?
Summary: 4 Stars
The Muppet Show is something which, in all likelihood, could never happen again; the days of the television variety show and the British music hall are gone for good. Certainly post-Henson Muppet fare has been, to be blunt, lackluster. Despite that, the Muppet Show remains evergreen for future audiences, giving not only a time capsule to the 1970s, not only a bit of insight to stars great and small who crossed the Muppet stage, but a thick slice of wholesome family entertainment. What's more, the Muppet Show's provided family entertainment that did not lower itself to kiddie pablum, but rather appealed to broad, simple and universal emotions: the desire to be loved, the desire to find happiness, and the absurdity of the world.
Thus, how could I help but love Season 2 of the Muppet Show?
There are only two flaws for me. If there's a sound flaw (as other reviewers have repeatedly stated) I can't detect it- or at least I don't care enough to detect it. I definitely miss the Muppet Morsels from Season One, though (but not enough to endure the not-quite-uncut nature of Season One's episodes). The Morsels added greatly to the DVD. Second, The Muppet Valentine Show is, and I'm sad to say this about anything Jim Henson himself worked on, it was really horrible. The original Koozbane sketch and "Frog Went a'Courtin'" were all that was worth salvaging from that sickly-sweet disaster.
There is one other distinct improvement over Season One's release- aside, that is, from Season One containing expurgated versions of several episodes. That improvement is the addition of chapter break points within each episode, so that the viewer is not obliged to hold thumb to a scan button to rewind or fast-forward through half the episode to watch a really good bit.
Buena Vista is, apparently, learning from past mistakes; let's hope the learning continues.
DVD Review: funny lots of laugh with legends
Summary: 5 Stars
Surprise there all there all the funny comics of that error and are they funny you can really appreciate how dedicated they were to this film and it laughter all the way plus you get 4 dvd which are dedicated to each character you will really enjoy this filmsDVD Review: Not as good as the first set.
Summary: 3 Stars
This may not matter to alot of people,but I was really bummed after buying this set and discovering no Muppet Morsels(the pop-up facts about the show and the guest stars)like they had on the first set.When I buy classic movies and shows I really enjoy learning little things about them that I may not have known before.Most sets like this have a commentary track or something,this has nothing like that,and after having it on the first set I feel like I'm getting less for my money.If you don't care about things like that,and just want the episodes then it's a good set,but I was a little disappointed.
Description of The Muppet Show - Season Two
And now a show that needs no introduction, but here's one anyway... Go bonkers with Beaker, goofy with Gonzo and join the brave cast of "Pigs In Space" for one of the most revolutionary and acclaimed shows in the history of television. Garnering an Emmy? Award for Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Program in its hilarious second season, THE MUPPET SHOW redefined prime time and showcased a host of outrageous guest stars, including Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, Elton John, Julie Andrews and more. Experience all 24 episodes from Season Two - digitally remastered and restored - in this special 4-disc DVD set. With hours of bonus features, including THE MUPPETS VALENTINE SPECIAL and rare archival footage, THE MUPPET SHOW is even better than you remember!Quick wit, slapstick comedy, excellent puppets and puppetry conceived by Jim Henson, an astounding array of guest stars, and a whole lot of backstage chaos made The Muppet Show a favorite family show for a whole generation in the mid to late 1970's and those same ingredients make it equally enjoyable for today's audiences. The 24 episodes of this second 1976 season of The Muppet Show represent the family variety show at its strongest, with familiar characters like host Kermit the Frog, his assistant Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Rolph the piano playing dog, and regular segments like "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian's Hospital," "Swedish chef," and "At the Dance." Intermingled throughout are silliness, skits, and songs featuring an impressive roster of guest stars including entertainment greats like Judy Collins, Don Knotts, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, George Burns, John Clese, and Bob Hope. The hilarious predicaments of the Muppets and their guest stars are absolutely timeless and the look back in time at the earlier careers of enduring stars like Steve Martin, Julie Andrews and Elton John is equally fascinating. Highlights of this second season are Kermit's emotional ballad "It's Not Easy Being Green," Judy Collins classic rendition of "Send in the Clowns," the two old men's curmudgeonly and witty criticism of every show, Miss Piggy's determined and amorous pursuit of Kermit, and the Swedish Chef's bumbling inability to catch up with the chicken. Bonus features include the rare 1974 Muppets Valentine Special featuring a young Mia Farrow and a host of virtually unknown Muppet characters including the enormous blue monster, Thog. Also included is Muppets' music video of "Keep Fishin'," and interview footage of "The Muppets on the Muppets." Whether reliving childhood evenings spent with family around the television or experiencing The Muppet Show for the first time, viewers of all ages will adore this second season. --Tami Horiuchi
