Muppet Family Christmas [VHS]

Amazon.com:
A warm Yuletide special, A Muppet Family Christmas pairsthe Muppet gang with the perennial favorite Sesame Street castfor a holiday celebration. With a blizzard brewing outside, Fozzie'schildhood farmhouse on Christmas Eve becomes the backdrop for a medleyof holiday tunes--eight in all--ranging from the Muppet band's rousing"Jingle Bell Rock" to Big Bird's sweet rendition of "The ChristmasSong." Though the script meanders in part, the 42-minute program shinesas a musical revue, seasoned with quick-witted interludes by theculinary comedic Swedish Chef, slapstick odd couple Ernie and Bert, andthe diva-like escapades of Miss Piggy. While lacking the irresistiblesizzle of The Muppet Movie, the show's finale, which includesKermit and Piggy under the mistletoe and a cameo appearance by JimHenson, proves that nothing can dim the Muppets' appeal. --LynnGibson

Rating: - A Christmas treat
This is a very cute, very sweet Christmas special that brings the holiday spirit into your heart. How can you resist the Muppets, the Sesame Street gang, and the Fraggles all rolled into one Christmas Eve? Lots of singing and jokes to go around, it will become one of your favorites for that special month of December. (Or perhaps even more, as my 2-year-old nephew needs to watch it with every visit, regardless of it it's winter or summer!) A holiday classic for all ages.

Rating: - Look for UK or Dutch versions
Several others have documented all of the scenes that are missing from the US version. Search for this on e B a y - look for DVDs that have R2, UK or Dutch in the description. These versions have all of the scenes and are in English. The catch is that the DVDs are coded for Region 2 (US DVD players are Region 1) and are in the PAL format (US is NTSC).

If you can get your computer's DVD player to play Region 2, your system will play the PAL format just fine. If you want to watch this ... Read More
Rating: - I wont be buying the DVD of this favorite Christmas movie
I came to Amazon a few weeks ago in order to buy the DVD version of Muppets Family Christmas for my grandsons. Its been a family fave of ours for 20 years now. Imagine my surprise when I saw the price of it! That alone was enough to deter me and then I read the reviews and saw that several of the best parts of this movie had been edited out.

Whats the point in spending almost $200 when it isnt even the original movie?

Amazon: A word of advice here. Dont bother trying to ... Read More

i have this video but on vhs without any commercials and was hoping to find the whole thing intack so i can have it on dvd. i am soo glad that i read the review from Fritogirl.. those edits make the show almost unwatchable in my opinion... tho being able to see Elmo before he was so big is also a funny thing..in this version Elmo is just one of the other monsters, but he is there none the less. just singing along....with Harry Monster and Grover.. is also before Zoey.. the Fraggles are included which ...
