It's Time to Play the Music, It's Time to Light the Etc., Etc., Yada Yada Yada

Look at your Muppet Show: Season One DVDs. I bet they're pretty lonely sitting there on the shelf with no other Muppet Show DVDs to pal around with, forced to make awkward small talk with your Munsters and Murphy Brown discs.

Well, now they're in luck, and so are you, and so am I, because it's been reported on numerous websites that The Muppet Show: Season Two will be available on DVD on August 7, with 24 episodes on four discs. Bonus features will include a featurette called "The Muppets on the Muppets," a feature on the Muppet-centric Weezer music video for "Keep Fishin'," and The Muppet Valentine special. Now fans of Don Knotts, Rivers Cuomo, and Mia Farrow all have reason to celebrate!

Season two is where we first meet Beaker, and the Pigs in Space crew, and of course it's packed with hilarity and music and comedy and probably some chickens, so it's great that this is finally being released, two years after the release of season one. In fact, this announcement has me so excited, I'm going to go watch the entire season one set again to prepare.

Discuss the season two discs on the Tough Pigs forum!
