Like wise ;) . I don't like the film much but "MFS" has been getting a lot great reviews :D

I really hope It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas is in widescreen - It would be useful. Then UK fans can get R1 DVD print for the extras :crazy:

[MuppetDanny]

I just found that :

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland
Time - 07:30 to 08:50 (1 hour and 20 minutes long).
When - Monday 22nd December on Channel 4

Will be on, also show in widscreen :p

Later :zany:

[anathema]

Uh, the UK DVD release is widescreen. I wouldn't touch the R1 version with a 30-foot pole.

[mattyboy]

I was wondering what channel is TG4 or whatever cos I've never heard of it? Also is it available on NTL cos most channels which run through digital seem to all feature on Sky.

[anathema]

Republic of Ireland. And no, you can't get it in the UK :-( The channel does appear on the satellite feed, but it's not available for subscription.

[Wozza Fraggle]

Do we know anyone around here who lives in Ireland?

Or even someone on the coast, I heard that some people on that side of England can pick up that channel.

Id sure be interested in getting a copy!


see ya

[Wozza Fraggle]

Frogot to add that A Berry Bear Christmas is coming on The Disney Channel or Playhouse Disney. Not sure when tho...


see ya

That wouldn't help. *I* can pick it up, but as it's encrypted I can't do anything with it...

[anathema]

Hi guys -

3) Oiche Nollag Leis na Muppets (????)
Time - 16:00 to 16:55 (55 minutes long).
When - Wednesday 24th December on TG4



This translates (roughly) as "Christmas Eve with the Muppets". Presumably MFC.

[Wozza Fraggle]

Either way, I still want to see them. Imagine if it was A Muppet Family Christmas and it was uncut! :eek:

see ya

[anathema]

No chance! The completely uncut version hasn't been seen since 1987.

[MuppetDanny]

Did MFC got shown in the UK (Uncut version I mean) ? I do remember in the late 80's on BBC 1 showing "The Christmas Toy" - Sunday afternoon comes to my mind :crazy:

[anathema]

I don't know. Finding the original US broadcast date was hard enough!

[sarahwithbaloo]

I'm really looking fotward to the I Love the Muppets show on BBC2 I liked other shows in the series I bet it will be good. :)

By the way Hi I'm Sarah and this is my first post see you around.

[Whataday]

Yeah, I'm also looking forward to I Love The Muppets. I missed it first time around.

[Whataday]

Might I add that Jim Henson's Jack & The Beanstalk is on Channel 4 in half an hour.l

[Wozza Fraggle]

Have the VCR's ready for the next airing of 100 Greatest Musicals on Channel 4.
Miss Piggy gives a new interview!

see ya

[alexmongers]

i love the muppets is the best muppet documentary i've ever seen! very well put together it goes through short biogs of kermit, piggy, fozzie, s&w, gonzo and mentions most of the others but the best part is when they discuss the electric mayhem and floyd is interviewed!there is a great animal section where he is compared to keith moon of the who (as talked about in the animal vh1 ad thread. :boo: it was superb! how i wish they would repeat all 120 shows!! its alright for the americans. you can get most of them on dvd. over here not so

[alexmongers]

:halo: yalking of animal, theres another advert on in england at the moment. the va va voom advert (cant remember which car!) just know it features thierry henry (the arsenal/french international footballer) and a smoky jazz club with animal on the drums. its very funny (just a shame theres an arsenal player on it! would be better if it was a chelsea player instead!) ;)

[camilla]

I'm annoyed as i missed the i love the Muppets stuff. I nearly missed all of them. it was a great muppety xmas and i love the Animal advert.
If anyone has a way to copy videos I would love a copy of I love the muppets
