Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Danny Blankenship Being born in 1978 and growing up as a small child in the late 70's and early 1980's I was a big watcher of "The Muppet Show" it kind of set my path and influenced me with memories! As seeing those cute and lovable little puppet Muppet characters on screen just was a treat and delight for my little eyes. I was so involved with the Muppet genre that I collected the Muppet toys and had figures even having a plush "Kermit the Frog"! And I love the show for the fact that it had a little green frog named Kermit who was so enjoyable to watch because he was smart and did things so right from singing and dancing to telling funny little one liner jokes and doing parody so well by acting out little skits! Plus the other characters were so cute and memorable for the sight of a child to see and remember and it ranged from Miss Piggy, Fozzie the Bear, The Brown Dog, Gonzo, Animal, and the Rat, and the talking pigs and the laughing old men from the balcony. Each episode was done like a play like theater style, plus an audience was always present that the Muppets filmed in front of because the laughter was always heard. Any many many big name stars and entertainers made guest appearances on the show ranging from people like Rita Moreno, Candice Bergen, Phyllis Diller, Vincent Price, Rich Little, Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Elton John, Bob Hope, Roy Clark, Alice Cooper, Raquel Welch, Liberace, Sly Stallone, Cheryl Ladd and Brooke Shields now talk about a menu of famous folks! Overall great series for kids that was fun and a delight with joy and it was educational it brought lasting memories for me as "The Muppet Show" was the best!

Dallas McGowan I grew up watching this show, and now am happy to say I can show my kids.(they love it too, & I've even got my 3 year old singing "Mahnahmahnah") I remember being very excited when it was time for it to come on, and, my mom was happy as well, because she KNEW I was going to behave, or miss out. *chuckle* It was something the entire family could enjoy together, regardless of age.It doesn't even matter that now the sets, costumes, and dialog are all a bit dated- they're STILL hysterical, still relevant, and just as entertaining as they were originally. I wish there was MORE programming like this, instead of todays pap & tripe. :-( Dear departed Mr. Henson- you created a masterpiece, it's pure genius, even to this day. We miss you & love you very much! -Dallas

Bradley Baum I cannot fault it in any way. It gets a maximum ten out of ten from me. I am laughing at it just as much now (I'm watching the first series on DVD at the moment and I will buy the other series as and when I can) as I did when I were a child! Fabulous! The special guests were plentiful, varied, and always 'A' list for the time (some still are but a lot of them have now very sadly passed away and they and their talents will always be very greatly and very sorely missed) and always willing to send themselves up in a big way. Sure the singers all sang and the actors all acted etc. in the way the pieces were supposed to be done but, you see, it wasn't what they were singing/saying that sent them up but what was going on around them with the puppets, the scenery their clothes etc. they had put on for their sections. Spike Milligan, John Cleese, Steve Martin, Bob Hope, Harry Bellafonte, Shirly Bassy, Andy Williams, Roger Moore, Mark Hammil, Sylvester Stallone, Gene Kelly, Peter Ustinov, Liberace, Elton John, Alice cooper, Ethel Merman, Glenda Jackson, Liza Minelli, Juliette Prowse, Twiggy, are just a few of the many famous people that appeared on The Muppet Show and they were all more than happy to join in the general mayhem and ludicrousness in the show.The jokes are wonderful and have not lost their impact or become stale over time. Every line and every sketch is as fresh now as it was all those years ago when the programme first aired and could (no, make that would) easily hold up in today's world with today's families if they were to be repeated in all their glory. And if the children of today haven't heard of some of the stars well that wouldn't make any difference at all because you don't have to have heard of a star to enjoy watching them doing what it is that they do best and have the puppets take the mickey out of it! Muppets Tonight was the last time they all got together for at least one series and I loved it as much as I love this and long for it to happen again! OK so the script may not have been as sharp in Muppets Tonight, But I love anything and everything to do with them (and the fact that they are now owned by Disney is just too fantastic for words as I ADORE most things by Disney and Love the rest!)! I have got some of the programmes on video tape and I am now looking to replace them with dvds which (apart from the complete first series) don't appear to be around at the moment. Not the last time I looked anyway which could have been the wrong place(s) if they have been released at all. I have since found out they are yet to be released so I'll be buying them as and when they are! Or at the very least, as and when I can afford them!Easily above 10/10!

movieman_kev Kermit the frog, Fronzie bear, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the Muppet's take part in this musical variety show despite constant heckling from two audience members from the balcony. This show didn't exactly hit the ground running and had trouble getting guest star in the beginning, so Season 1 turns out to be a mixed bag indeed. In fact the only real lasting big stars are Vincent Price (to pour salt in the wound, his "You've Got A Friend", was cut.from the DVD), Ben Vereen, and Florence Henderson. Juliet Prowse? Come on now. Ruth Buzzi??!!? get outta here. The first season isn't a total loss some skits are very good & seeing the original pilot on the DVD set is a trip and a half. It's just the show could and WOULD get better starting with the second season even.My Season 1 grade: C+ Season 1 DVD Extras: Muppet Morsels (Pop-up Trivia Track; Original pitch reel; Promo gag reel; the original Pilot; Teaser for "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", and Trailers for "Valiant", "the Muppets Wizard of Oz", "Kermit's 50th Anniversary", "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Old Yeller: Special Addition", "Aliens of the Deep", and "According to Jim"
