5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT COLLECTION OF THE BEST CHILDREN'S TVSHOW EVER!, April 21, 2004

By	Paulo Leite (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This 4-dvd box contains 12 complete episodes with some of the best Muppet moments ever! Every episode has one great guest star and wonderful funny musical numbers.

Disc 1: Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Dudley Moore.
Disc 2: Elton John, Julie Andrews and Gene Kelly.
Disc 3: Mark Hamill (with C3PO, R2D2 and Chewbacca), Paul Simon and Raquel Welch.
Disc 4: Harry Belafonte, Linda Ronstadt and John Denver.

This is a great collection of tv shows many grownups will love to watch too. I used to love the Muppet Show when I was a child and I am glad to say those characters and settings have lost none of their charm.

I think this is the perfect show for kids: lots of music, delightful characters, NO VIOLENCE... just pure fun and the unbelievable imagination of Mr. Jim Henson.

Personal favorites: Peter Sellers reciting Richard III while playing two chickens(!), Elton John playing "Crocodile Rock" in a swamp full of crocodiles, John Cleese refusing to sing "The Impossible Dream", Kermit dancing with Gene Kelly, The Muppet band rioting against Paul Simon's music machine and (last but not least) that wild group of aspargus!!

All episodes have an introduction by Jim Henson's son. The extras in each disc are very few (ONE short sketch, ONE original drawing, a few trailers ...that's it!).

The episodes have no subtitles.

The content is five stars. I just think these dvds should have lots of extras, I mean... I am sure there are lots of material out there. Will we ever get tired of the muppets? NEVER!

Don't spend the overweighted price for these out-of-pruduction "Best of..." DVD's, Season 1 of the Muppet Show will be released on DVD beginning August 8, and the other seasons will be released soon after.
