Not sure this has been asked....but, does anyone know where we can find a comparison of the new season 1 set vs. the time life set?
Thanks.

What if its something they can't control ...
They could take our complants wrong & not release old stuff at all.....

Does it have lots of good skits? Does Mark Hammil play Luke in them?

Just watched the time life disc with Vincent Price. The closing song is You've Got A Friend. Only about 2 minutes long, but this is one of the more charming parts of that episode. Glad I held on to the time life discs! I don't think any of the other entertainers (that have cuts) appear on the time life discs.

Yeah. The Mahna-Mahna song first appeared in Sesame Street 1969, except that the hippie didn't have sunglasses and instead of cows doing the "do-doo's", it's a pair of girls.

fuzzy packaging?
Wasn't this release supposed to have some kind of felt, or "fuzzy" packaging on the front? The set I purchased this morning at best buy was just a regular cardboard slipcase.
I thought they were making a deal out of the cover having some kind of fuzz on it or something.
Did they scrap that idea?

Same here. I was a tad disappointed. BTW, Muppets Tonight! rocked. I would love to own those as well.
