Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

YouHeart I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

cairn6 What can I say about the "Muppet Show" that has not already been said? I can remember seeing the first episodes and finding the series funny with all what went on each week. I also saw the feature films in the theater and enjoyed them just as much. But going back and watching the Muppets as an adult has truly made me realize what an amazing show this truly was, and still is. The one-off clips are creative.....check out the "Hugga Wugga" clip for a wild out of this world experience...and funny, a ship full of Viking pigs attacking a village to the Village People song "In the Navy". The regular weekly segments were hilarious...the pun filled Veterinarian Hospital, the Swedish Chef's culinary disasters, Wayne and Wanda failing in new and interesting ways to sing their songs, and the crazy mess ups in Muppet Labs. The regular characters are iconic. Fozzie Bear and his bad stand up comedy, Rowlf the Dog's piano playing, Gonzo and his wacky stunts, the two old hecklers in the balcony box, Miss Piggy and her diva-ness, Animal the wild drummer and the rest of the band consisting of some pretty cool hippie rock players, Dr Bunsen and his long suffering assistant Beaker, and of course Kermit the Frog leading the way. And then there are the live guest stars. Amazing a-listers every week. It was known back in the day that you had truly made it big when you appeared on the "Muppet Show". And while the main focus was comedy, the viewer would also be treated to some classic performances that were truly beautiful. Rowlf the Dog singing "What a Wonderful World" in a simple and heartfelt manner to a real puppy, Victor Borge's performance of "Inchworm", with the funnyman singing wisely and fatherly, and a surreal and hauntingly beautiful version of "Send in the Clowns" by Judy Collins. All great. 100 years from now people will still be familiar with this show.

Yulia Lukas The Muppet Show is maybe the best family show ever made, it is all the way back from the 70s but I discovered it when I was growing up (well my mom introduced it to me) and it was just awesome, I loved it. I still remember laughing my head off at Fozzie and Beaker and The Swedish Chef and pretty much all the other great characters Jim Henson put together. The man must have been a genius because I still love it today and my mom and I will pass it on to the next generation of family. The movies were also very good (OK so a few missteps but over all they're still good) and the new movie reboot was great too, I hope they can keep it up and make these movies (and maybe even bring back the TV show) for generations to come!

aaronj324 In fact This show exceeds a 10 in more ways than I can Count. This show was such a clean cut humor, that Puts The "clean" humor that you hear now a days to an NC-17 rating. when You see an episode for the first time or have forgotten about an episode( due to possible brain damage, electro shock therapy, or maybe just a good ole penguins blow up in your face as did many of Henson's penguins seemed to do on the show)you never knew what was coming around the corner. Nothing was scripted, and it was just good fun on a Saturday night, with a bowl of popcorn and singing dancing frogs,chickens, and things, And don't forget the whatever(Gonzo)I said it Before and I'll say It Now America went down hill since they left the air and we just have the good memories of our childhood. Thank you Jim Henson for the memories.

Dallas McGowan I grew up watching this show, and now am happy to say I can show my kids.(they love it too, & I've even got my 3 year old singing "Mahnahmahnah") I remember being very excited when it was time for it to come on, and, my mom was happy as well, because she KNEW I was going to behave, or miss out. *chuckle* It was something the entire family could enjoy together, regardless of age.It doesn't even matter that now the sets, costumes, and dialog are all a bit dated- they're STILL hysterical, still relevant, and just as entertaining as they were originally. I wish there was MORE programming like this, instead of todays pap & tripe. :-( Dear departed Mr. Henson- you created a masterpiece, it's pure genius, even to this day. We miss you & love you very much! -Dallas
