The Muppet Show: Season 1 on DVD !

According to some other reviews, it looks like this set includes some bits that ran on UK TV and not in the US. One more reason to pick this up. I think I'll be hitting CostCo for contact lenses and Muppets this afternoon.

Correct. The show was picked up by a british network in England where all the episodes were filmed.
So when The Muppet Show came to the US some episodes were edited.

Would ya pick me up some otter pops with your contacts and Muppets?

The UK bits were specifically aimed at the English audience, and were edited for US broadcast.

Honestly, if you didn't have super scary Muppet geeks pointing out that a few songs have been edited, you wouldn't know it.

The set was put together very well and I look forward to future seasons.

super scary Muppet geeks NOW we're talking.

Great review, Steph. We're pretty lucky here to have great info from both you and Zap......even if it IS about the Muppets.
