Brief synopsis of Muppet Show, The - Season 1

Perhaps the strangest variety show ever to air on television, the wildly popular MUPPET SHOW helped to spawn an entire series starring Jim Henson's crew of puppet comedians. Combining musical numbers with comedy, THE MUPPET SHOW centred on the efforts of Kermit the Frog and his team of performers to put on a weekly show, featuring both the onstage acts as well as the backstage problems. Each week a new guest star, among the most distinguished entertainers of the time, would appear to participate in some of the skits and assist Kermit in making order out of the backstage chaos. Although the humour of THE MUPPET SHOW was often more adult and occasionally risque than the later Muppet endeavours, it was still appropriate for every member of the family. SEASON ONE contains all 24 episodes of the program's first year (the 1976-77 television season).

This boxset of the muppets brought back all those happy memories of sitting there after a bath on sunday night, after not seeing this for many many years it did'nt fail to disapoint and is as fresh now as it was then apart from some of the cheesy 70's guest stars who you wont have heard of , unless you're about 70 (ha, ha)

Rated - 3 starsSeason 1, disk 1

A customer from Cardiff, Wales , 09/01/2006

Dating from the 1970s but still able to raise many laughs, these weird creatures mock the familiar variety stage show and give some innocent guest stars a very difficult time. The first disk for Season One features such delights as the 'Mnum,mna' song, the sad story of how our singer was unable to go to Moro today, and several vain attempts by Wayne and Wanda to finish a song. This show may appeal more to teenagers and children than to serious-minded adults. Very silly and great fun.

Rated - 5 starsFunny memories

A customer from York , 04/05/2006

If you remember this show the first time around then you'll recognise most of the guest stars that appear. The show remains a funny, light, variety programme that entertains without having any great depth.

One thing that is worth noting is that you should turn the on screen notes on when you watch; Most are uninteresting but there are some which really add to your enjoyment.
