"The Muppet Show" is out on DVD!!

[FergieTCat]

I bought one for my friend's 3 year old. This is my prediction of the ensuing conversation when he opens it:

ME: Here's your birthday present. (hands it to Tyler)

TYLER: (starts to tear open present. Goes too slowly, so I grab it away from him and tear it open myself.)

ME: LOOK TYLER! SEASON ONE OF THE MUPPET SHOW!!! (I will be talking in all caps, trust me!)

TYLER: (blank look)

ME: Let's put in the DVD player!

ME: IT'S TIME TO PUT ON MAKE UP! IT'S TIME TO LIGHT THE LIGHTS! ...

TYLER: (leaves room to go play with Legos)

ME: IT'S TIME TO MEET THE MUPPETS ON THE MUPPET SHOW TONIGHT!!

I'm sure somewhere in there I will be banned from the house, never to have contact with Tyler again!

I can't wait to give it to him!!

We bought this "for our daughter" (who's also 3.) DH and I loved it!!!! It's a great DVD. I can't wait for the other seasons to come out. DD wasn't too sure of it at first, but I think we've converted her. now, she'll ask to put it on too!! Finally, something mommy and daddy don't mind watching!!1

No shame here - we bought this for ourselves!

Luckily, our children like it as well so we have gotten to see it lots and lots!

Dh bought this for my 26th birthday last year. We absolutely love it. Our DD who is 4 loves it too. Although it keeps our attention a lot longer than hers.

Where can I find a copy? Is it out like at Target out or is it harder to find. DD loves Miss Piggy, She can Huyya! as good as Miss Piggy!

We bought it when it first came out. I won't lie, DH bought it for himself. It is really timeless though. We had my Dniece (7) and Dnephew (5) along with DS (8) all watching it and they all LOVED it!

I'm buying it for my Mom for Mother's Day

I found mine (I mean Tyler's) in the World of Disney store in NYC. It might be available in all Disney Stores because they own the Muppets.

It's also available through Amazon.com.

Dh bought it for me for my birthday last year. We were so thrilled to have it! I was vividly remembering watching the Mummenshantz episode as a kid and being creeped out. But my favorite is the Linda Carter episode where they all try to become superheroes (it wasn't in the collection).

We bought our copy at Best Buy, my IL's bought theirs at Target.

Thanks!!!! DD thought I had lost it when I had netflix sent her some muppets movies, but now she loves them. I keep telling her the old saturday night shows were even better than the movies!

I told her one night to hurry up with her bath or she'd miss the Muppets. I realized I had inspite of my best efforts turned into my Mother!

I love the Muppet show! We even got our wedding song "You made me love you" from this show in 1982. Yes i know its crazy but my dh and I saw this show way back when and Gonzo was singing this song to some chickens and we were 2 crazy young kids who thought that this would be a great song. Besides the fact that Judy Garland sang it so beautifully to Clark Gable helped too!!!

I bought this as part of our family gift at Christmas (got it at Target) and we all LOVE it!!! I can't wait for season 2 to come out! I love the funny phone call episode.
