A behind the scenes look at the world famous 'Muppet Show'
mad_matt873 September 2002
Basically this 50 minute documentary looks behind the scenes of the award winning show. It has interviews with Roger Moore [a guest star, the writers, directors and the puppeteers, including good information from Muppet creator Jim Henson. The good thing about this it shows you lots of classic clips from the show which made stars like Kermit, Miss Piggy...etc famous. Even their guest stars became more popular like Vincent Price, Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, Julie Andrews and Ethel Merman. Their so famous that their still around today entertaining both children and adults. The only disappointing thing is its colour is dark because it was shot 21 years.

a must for muppets fans
tradingnorth5 August 2005
This should be watched by all fans - fascinating to see the background scenes and how the chaos and mayhem on screen isn't what is happening with the performers - good use of footage and commentary from all the the team.

You should be pleasantly surprise by all the work that goes into bring kermit and co to the screen, this is shown by the enthusiasm by the team and you get to understand how the show had such high production values.

Also gives a great insight into how many stars of the day were lucky enough to work with the muppets.
