The Muppet Show on DVD
Did you know that Miss Piggy was originally named Miss Piggy Lee, in honor of Peggy Lee? Did you know that every Guest on the Muppet Show was originally going to get a replica of themselves in Muppet form, but the tradition only lasted two episodes? More importantly, do you find this useless Trivia useful? If you do, you should rent the Muppet Show on DVD. There are pop-up facts just like these, but more importantly, there are Muppets!
I was raised on the Muppets and still love them with all of my heart. Sure the puppet run variety show isn’t for everyone, but it’s for me and anyone who loves the furry clan.
Last Christmas, I bought a 10 DVD set for my kiddo with every episode ever. Jim Henson’s son introduces some of the discs, and some of the scenes. It’s great. They go into where some of the muppets got their names, i.e. who they’re modeled after.
