Fans of Golden Age comedy are in good hands with this trio of Muppet Show episodes. Special guest George Burns sings old vaudeville numbers and dusts off vintage one-liners, all while Rowlf the dog (voice by Jim Henson) accompanies on piano. The legendary comedian also dresses down sleazy gossip columnist Fleet Scribbler after the latter presses Burns for details about Miss Piggy's private life. Dom DeLuise hosts an energetic show full of pratfalls, particularly in a hysterical sketch set among the fuzzy, babbling inhabitants of Planet Koozebane. There's also high drama when DeLuise grows incensed over Piggy's legion of admirers; their growing numbers force her to dress in the star's changing room, resulting in an epic exchange of ego-driven insults. Finally, Bob Hope finds Kermit stealing some of his oldest jokes, but later trades quips with a horse during a "Don't Fence Me In" number. --Tom Keogh

 Great shows -- forget the extras April 28, 2004

These are three of the best "Muppet Show"s on DVD yet. The "extras" are not accessible via the main menu -- you must go into the individual episodes to find them, although there's not much there worth watching.

Can somebody write a review of this DVD for me? I am a Muppet fan but only like the best of the best. I have been back here many times to check for reviews but have none. It would be much appreciated.
Thank You.
