I loved that bit!
God I miss the Muppets. Quality TV entertainment died with them. I'm actively looking for the original shows on DVD as of right NOW! Brian

Sadly we Brits have to put up with the usual old rubbish like 'One Foot in the Grave', 'Only Fools and Horses', and more recently 'Little Britain'. Don't know how put up with it all. Somehow we just keep churning them out: 'Monty Python', 'Faulty Towers', 'Smith and Jones', 'The Office', 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme', 'Fast Show', - we just can't seem to make em like the Muppets! PS - I can't access the Muppets extract so will take you at your word that it is 5-star rated

Now try to imagine anything _else_ for the next hour or so.
(Muppet Show Season 1 on DVD == HIGHEST recommendation. The pilot alone is worth the purchase price. And, for reference, Mahna Mahna is the first sketch on the first pisode.) You're going to make someone ask what your #1 bit is, aren't you? Last edited by vsp; 09-06-2005 at 11:17 AM. |

I'm guessing Swedish Chef.
Although this piece is certainly part of The Muppet Show, I could have sworn that this bit was originally done on Sesame Street.

Rolf first appeared on the Jimmy Dean show, so yeah, there's characters and bits that existed already before the Muppets Show came along.
My fave? Pigs in Space.

#1 is pre-Muppet Show. It's the bit where the two space aliens come across a ringing phone.
