Quick wit, slapstick comedy, excellent puppets and puppetry conceived by Jim Henson, an astounding array of guest stars, and a whole lot of backstage chaos made The Muppet Show a favorite family show for a whole generation in the mid to late 1970's and those same ingredients make it equally enjoyable for today's audiences.The 24 episodes of this second 1976 season of The Muppet Show represent the family variety show at its strongest, with familiar characters like host Kermit the Frog, his assistant Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Rolph the piano playing dog, and regular segments like "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian's Hospital," "Swedish chef," and "At the Dance." Intermingled throughout are silliness, skits, and songs featuring an impressive roster of guest stars including entertainment greats like Judy Collins, Don Knotts, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, George Burns, John Clese, and Bob Hope.The hilarious predicaments of the Muppets and their guest stars are absolutely timeless and the look back in time at the earlier careers of enduring stars like Steve Martin, Julie Andrews and Elton John is equally fascinating.Highlights of this second season are Kermit's emotional ballad "It's Not Easy Being Green," Judy Collins classic rendition of "Send in the Clowns," the two old men's curmudgeonly and witty criticism of every show,Miss Piggy's determined and amorous pursuit of Kermit, and the Swedish Chef's bumbling inability to catch up with the chicken.Bonus features include the rare 1974 Muppets Valentine Special featuring a young Mia Farrow and a host of virtually unknown Muppet characters including the enormous blue monster, Thog. Also included is Muppets' music video of "Keep Fishin'," and interview footage of "The Muppets on the Muppets."Whether reliving childhood evenings spent with family around the television or experiencing The Muppet Show for the first time, viewers of all ages will adore this second season. --Tami Horiuchi

- Suitable for Veneration
The "Muppet Show"thirty years after it's original airing on network television is either an acquired taste for younger viewers watching the complete second season series for the first time... or a box of chocolates for those fans who remember first-hand.
And like a box of chocolates, some of them are rather strangely flavored. Or as my daughter pointed out, after the first three episodes, (featuring Don Knotts, Zero Mostel, Milton Berle) many of the guest stars during the second season ... Read More

- "Turn in Next Week to See Last Week's Show."
The second season of the Muppet Show finds our heroes in fine form as they continue to attempt to put on their weekly show.Once again, the cast is made up of the Muppets with one human guest start each episode.And again, the wackiness is incredible fun.
Not everything is old and the same, however.Beaker, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's assistant in Muppet Labs makes his first appearance here.Poor Beaker is always the guinea pig in the experiments, which always have poor results.This season ... Read More

If you're a Muppet fan, this collection of the Second Season of "The Muppet Show" is a treat. Plenty of great sketches and celebrity guests, with the classic Muppet humor! Great DVD quality as well.
Rating: - Muppet Show is great.
Received DVD quickly and it was in new condition. Season two is the best. Great guest stars. Family friendly entertainment. Jokes for all ages. Cute and clever. No profanity. No uncouth humor. No sex. No violence. Can't find that any more on today's TV and movies. Image and sound are high quality. A winner!!!
Rating: - I miss the morsels
Another great season.My favorite character, Miss Piggy, is looking more like the swine diva I remember from my childhood.This installment does not have as many special features as the first season, but it's still a great set.There are a lot more special guest stars that I recognize.
