acroyearThere are cuts in the new Muppet Show dvd set. Seems that Disney (the distributors) and the varied copyright holders couldn't come to a payment agreement on some of the songs, so there are about 6 or 7 musical numbers cut from the set. Some are "muppets-only" numbers but one tragic one that DOES involve the guest star is "You've Got A Friend" from the Vincent Price episode...
...fortunately for my sanity, I at least have THAT one on vhs taped from TNT (which cut different things to fit in the increase in commercial time), but its still depressing.
Fraggle Rock season one should be immune, in that it was all original material.
still, if anybody tells me that having copyrights be such that material from 1976 will never again be seen until anybody who was actually alive in 1976 is DEAD is a GOOD THING, I will tell them up front they are lying knaves.
