Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Being born in 1978 and growing up as a small child in the late 70's and early 1980's I was a big watcher of "The Muppet Show" it kind of set my path and influenced me with memories! As seeing those cute and lovable little puppet Muppet characters on screen just was a treat and delight for my little eyes. I was so involved with the Muppet genre that I collected the Muppet toys and had figures even having a plush "Kermit the Frog"! And I love the show for the fact that it had a little green frog named Kermit who was so enjoyable to watch because he was smart and did things so right from singing and dancing to telling funny little one liner jokes and doing parody so well by acting out little skits! Plus the other characters were so cute and memorable for the sight of a child to see and remember and it ranged from Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear, The Brown Dog, Gonzo, Animal, and the Rat, and the talking pigs and the laughing old men from the balcony. Each episode was done like a play like theater style, plus an audience was always present that the Muppets filmed in front of because the laughter was always heard. Any many many big name stars and entertainers made guest appearances on the show ranging from people like Rita Moreno, Candice Bergen, Phyllis Diller, Vincent Price, Rich Little, Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Elton John, Bob Hope, Roy Clark, Alice Cooper, Raquel Welch, Liberace, Sly Stallone, Cheryl Ladd and Brooke Shields now talk about a menu of famous folks! Overall great series for kids that was fun and a delight with joy and it was educational it brought lasting memories for me as "The Muppet Show" was the best!

I haven't seen all 120 episodes; I've seen maybe 1 season's worth. But not an entire season.One guest star is Peter Sellers, who is known for his role as Inspetor Jacques Clouseu. He imitates Groucho Marx in one number, and is dressed as a preacher of some kind in another one.Right now, I'd say my favorite episode is the one with Christopher Reeve. He's not my favorite actor; and I never was a huge fan of Superman. But he acted a lot like Superman on that show, and I really like it.Many of the episodes I've seen are pretty boring, too, so wouldn't watch any that you're too unfamiliar with. Though don't take only my word for it.I like this show, and I plan to get all five seasons when they all come out.

It was a sketch show...with puppets. How cool! Obviously, the star is Kermit who hosts the show along with several others. Miss Piggy is his lover, but he dislikes her. Fozzie's his pal. Gonzo is the freaky whatever with a chicken fettish. Scooter is the geeky right hand man. We have Statler and Waldorf, two old cranks in the balcony. Then we have the Electric Mayhem band led by Dr.Teeth and Floyd. It had many reccuring sketches including Pigs in Space and Veterenarian's Hospital. Every episode had a special guest star human, all who participated in the sketches. It was a show that had several pop culture references, including a Star Wars spoof in almost every episode. Great show...watch it!

i was a little kid and i anxiously expected to watch "the Muppet show", although it was translated to Spanish,it was done in a very professional way,so,the jokes,the songs and the little details weren't harmed.i specially remember one episode with Alice cooper that was specially funny,and another one with a group of french artists(i don't remember it's name),making mimics(sort of)accompanied with dance and music.pure artistic expression and funny,funny entertainment. the creative mind of Jim Hensonis very inspiring for those looking fornew expressive ways to create TV shows for kids and adults equally. i will for sure look for this title to add it to my collection...how couldn't i? the child inside me will be forever grateful....
