Editor's Note
Statler and Waldorf might have heckled from their spot in the balcony box, but THE MUPPET SHOW remains one of TV's most enjoyable shows for the whole family. With wacky humor appealing to kids and parents alike, this variety series featured all the favorites in Jim Henson's gang: Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal, Rowlf, Fozzie, Rizzo, Gonzo, and more. Beaker meeps, the Pigs in Space try to save the universe, and Kermit just tries to keep the show from falling apart. With musical numbers, sketches, backstage insight, and less-than-helpful cooking tips from the Swedish Chef, life at THE MUPPET SHOW is never boring. In the second season, the beloved Muppets are joined by celebrity guests including Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, Bob Hope, Julie Andrews, and Elton John. This four-volume set includes all 24 episodes of the Emmy-winning second season, plus special features such as "Weezer & the Muppets" and THE MUPPET VALENTINE SPECIAL starring Mia Farrow.
