If you love the Muppets and love the TV show, then you will love this. I like to slap in a disk and selecting hit play all. Its a great thing to leave on the TV with NO commercials!

Only complaint is Season 4 is not out yet :(

I purchased this item for my boyfriend...he loves it! We have spent many hours watching and enjoying the muppets that we have loved since we were kids. The quality is great and the special interviews are a real bonus.

No one gets bored by these shows, ever.
So glad all the seasons are being published again.

DVD Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars

I used to watch them back in the 70s and 80s. never forgot kermit or Miss Piggy.. very nice stories with very interesting guests. music, show, and funny stories.

DVD Review: Just Great!
Summary: 5 Stars

One question though: I noticed that one or two of the skits are repeated in two of the episodes (on Disc 1 anyway) Rowlf and Fozzie singing "An Actor's Life for Me" and the Chickens playing the chimes. Maybe one of the episodes was a UK release?

Description of The Muppet Show - The Complete Third Season

Wocka! Wocka! Wocka! The innovative variety show s sensational third season earned television s prestigious Peabody Award as well as an Emmy? Award nomination for Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Program. Featuring a sensational lineup of hilarious guest stars including Sylvester Stallone, Gilda Radner, Raquel Welch and Liberace Season Three is loaded with more Muppetational moments than any show in primetime history. Experience all 24 episodes from Season Three digitally re-mastered and restored in this special 4-disc DVD set. With hours of bonus features, including an all-new behind the scenes documentary, original Muppet commercials and much more, The Muppet Show: The Complete Third Season is unbeatable entertainment for the whole family.

An iconic variety show that ran from 1976 to 1981, The Muppet Show was a masterpiece of puppetry and slapstick humor as well as a showcase for the best musical and comic talent of its day. Season three ran 1978-1979 and featured 26 famous guest stars, including Roy Clark, Pearl Bailey, Jean Stapleton, Harry Belefonte, Danny Kaye, Cheryl Ladd, Raquel Welch, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Sylvester Stallone. Some of the most unique episodes of the season were the Lynn Redgrave show, in which she and all the Muppets used the entire show to re-enact the story of Robin Hood; the Loretta Lynn episode, which was ostensibly filmed at the railroad station when the theater was being fumigated; and the visual effects-laden Alice Cooper episode. Other notable moments include Liberace's performances of everything from a Chopin Nocturne to a Boogie Woogie piece, Gilda Radner's amusing musical rendition from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "Carrots of Penzance" (or was that "Parrots of Penzance," or "Pirates of Penzance?"), and Danny Kaye's appearance as the Swedish Chef's uncle. Naturally, the season features all your favorite Muppet characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Scooter, Rowlf, Crazy Harry, Beaker, and Animal as well as the beloved skits Muppet Labs, Pigs in Space, Swedish Chef, Veterinarian's Hospital, and Muppet Newsflash. Truly timeless entertainment for all ages, this third season of The Muppet Show is just as adept at bringing back memories as it is making new ones. --Tami Horiuchi
