I was literally bingeing all of your muppet videos last night 😂(amazing video btw :>)
I'm flattered 😆 thanks, glad you enjoyed!
@@SomeBoiOnline np your videos are amazing I was shocked when I saw you didn’t have at least over 1K subs
Hopefully we'll get there soon 😀
@@SomeBoiOnline agreed
So... do you like... y’know ... sleep....
Shame that its incomplete. But at least we now have access to more classic Muppets then we've ever had before. Win for the fans in my book.
And given how much music is in those episodes, and that music rights are the reason so muchs stuff was late to or never appeared on DVD or streaming, it is actually impressive they got so much of it on there.
What's a pirates favorite letter? you'd think it would be R, but a pirates first love is the C
omg i literaly laughed out loud
That’s a really good one!
Wokka wokka!
I don't get it.
@@eggmannega6895 Not, ARRR but it's the sea.
Another goof in season 5 is they put Gene Kelly first. That episode was the series FINALE! That's why you have an end of the world premise, as the running gag.
It was the last episode SHOT but not the last episode aired.
There is one episode that was supposed to have Bert and Ernie but Bert and Ernie doesn't make a an appearance. Kermit even announces them.
I remember that episode, the scene with Bert and Ernie was on the DVD release
Yes they do I watches that episode a couple days ago?
@@mattk8708 I think I saw that episode about a couple weeks ago. So it might have been just a slight technical error.
Probably a rights issue. Disney doesn't own the sesame street muppets.
@@griffnull8371 even though Kermit is one of the OG Sesame Street muppets and was frequently even aired in the 90s.
See how broken you've made the copyright system, Disney? This is what happens when you kill the public domain because you don't want your mascot to not be protected by copyright.
Would any of those songs be in the public domain even under the old rules before Disney interferred with it? Are they that old of songs? Although if that is why there is a sort of poetic justice to it.
@@dantheman8103 Copyright used to last for only fourteen years. Now, thanks to Disney constantly changing it to keep Mickey Mouse to themselves, it lasts for at least the lifetime of the original creator plus 80 years.
In other words, Disney is more unlikely to let its mascot to be unprotected by trademark.
@@JCBro-yg8vd Honestly I get things were different when they made it, but 14 years would be rediculously short. But do agree the 94 years or however long it is now is rediculous.
@@JCBro-yg8vd The thing that's really stupid about it is that Mickey is more of a Trademark, which can be registered and lasts for as long as the company does.
I'm still not happy that Disney never bothered to put Season 4 & 5 on DVD! Seriously wish Disney would just sell this IP. They don't get it and they just mismanage it over and over again. Admittedly, a streaming service is kind of the bottom of the barrel when it comes to releasing something, and they still mess it up! It's glorified cable TV Disney, fix this!
Glad I have the three season sets that I have. Physical is >>>>>>>>>> Digital.
@@gokaury I even got to the point I stared collecting the TIME-Life sets from before Disney bought the Muppets, as at least select episodes of seasons 4 & 5 would be on those discs. Seriously have to wonder if TIME-Life would have ultimately just released the whole show had Disney not bought the IP? Oh, well.
You’re not the only who wishes the Muppet franchise stuck with the Henson company.
Glad you mentioned this, because I was going to leave a comment asking if season 4 and 5 never released or I just missed collecting them. Glad I still have all 3 DVD sets AND the VHS tapes.
@@princess7strawberry They announced season 4 on DVD at the D23 convention in the late 2000’s/ early 2020’s…and then never released it! It was so messed up!
This pisses me off so much, I grew up in the muppets and other Jim Henson properties. It has left a big impact on me as I still love the muppets and my kermit collection is getting out of hand. Jim wouldnt have wanted this and I (and others) cant fulfill his dying wish by not letting the muppets fade. Its truly depressing.
While it is disappointing (especially when season 2 and 3 were uncut), I understand it. I think it's worth sacrificing some songs and episodes to have a more complete collection. Besides, with streaming you can easily update these transfers and add stuff.
Yes I completely agree that I much prefer this to the previous situation. As mentioned towards the end, yeah it would be nice to see more added over time.
But it's not complete, don't you get it?
@@Attmay I know but it's more complete than it was a year ago
About the Brooke Shields episode, the Alice in Wonderland story is in the Public Domain, so that is not the reason why it is missing. The reason why it is missing is because the episode used elements from The Wizard of Oz, including the music, and I doubt that WB would just let Disney use the music from Oz no matter how much Disney offered them in royalties.
I'm glad we're getting a lot of episodes and more than likely we'll get the Brooke Shields episode somewhere down the line over time once the music writes are settled with MGM. After all MGM owns the song we're off to see the wizard from The wizard of Oz. Also I think Disney is still settling more of the music rights for some of their episodes which means if they are settled then the collection will be updated soon.
Yes that's the outcome many are hoping for!
Actually, Warner Bros owns the rights to The Wizard of Oz and has done so since 1996. So all music rights from The Wizard of Oz would go through WB.
When it comes to the music, most of my frustration would be directed towards the msicic industry who are so infamous with their rights BS as any regular traveler of the net should know.
I've been bingibg Scrubs on DP some of the music used in certain episodes has been replaced with (really bad) substitutes. This has apparently been an issue for the show on streaming platforms for a while but, annoyingly, not for its home video or tv re-runs. Again, the music industry is maddening.
Yes in my experience music rights are particularly challenging to tackle. Even here on UA-cam, 'fair use' can be applied to footage etc. However music is a whole other ball game.
@@SomeBoiOnline the issue is the constant buerocracy, having rights carved up for different mediums in different countries which will honestly just lead to film and TV productions not wanting to use licensed music anymore, severely limiting the potential of different art forms mixing and collaborating. The final kicker is that smaller music artists may find it harder to get their tracks licensed and used, thus limiting potential exposure, all because the rights to their work is potentially under a label that might try and price gouge and hold said rights hostage later.
I thought the Brooke Shield episode wasn’t added due to the Wizard of Oz music and the running gag of I think Foozie dressing as Oz characters
Did some research and it was indeed because it used The Wizard of Oz. I honestly don't think that Disney can strike a deal with WB (Current rights holders to the film), to get the music rights no matter how much they offers I royalties unfortunately
Foozie
Well, at least the four episodes from season 1 that were edited on that season's 2005 DVD release are uncut on Disney+, meaning that Vincent Price gets to sing "You've Got A Friend" with the Muppets again, and Jim Nabors's cover of the main title theme to "Gone With the Wind" (notable for being one of the longest musical performances done on the show by a guest star) has been restored to his episode.
Disney has been blocking and banding a ton of stuff and content on their streaming service which is kind of strange.
Not really, they just added a bunch of R rated content outside of the US. Stuff like MASH and Bachelor Party are uncensored
My question is, why aren’t they stopping their old racist films?
@@TheEmilyp2012 Because removing things because it's not suitable anymore is stupid and sanitizes history.
@@MathieuLeblanc1991 The difference with those is they are stuff that in the US is mostly on Hulu, Star is basically a substitute. I am sure it's the fact that Hulu is not completely owned by Disney that is why it was not imported in that way. Makes you think in time it will but who knows when.
@@TheEmilyp2012 They have disclaimers on those films too don't they? I mean they didn't pull any Muppets episodes for that.
love your voice.
absolutely underrated.
Thanks so much, that means a lot 😊
I hate Disney for a lot of reasons, but one of them is being the biggest culprit of what I can only describe as "historical revisionism with art" and general censorship
This has nothing to do with revisionism or censorship tho? It just has to do with rights.
@@fanfusion4276 There's plenty of parts of episodes and entire episodes censored or excluded
@@bogiewoods3037 From what I can see, Disney hasn't censored anything, but rather just put the warning they put on all the other outdated Disney+ shows ("This program negatively depicts..."). Even something like the Confederate flag is still on show, just with the warning in front of that episode
@@fanfusion4276 i don’t have disney plus, but is it similar to the warnings placed before older warner brothers cartoon collection dvds? where they mention the warnings due to the age of the material and outdated contents? if so that’s totally fine, a simple warning is way better than actual censorship
@@WafflesX3XD Yes it is, its a 10 second warning. They also outright removed an episode due to the guest being caught doing very nasty things in the 2000s
Hopefully they’ll eventually sort out the legal rights and air the full episodes. Some day...
Sadly, this is why Muppet Babies will never see any official release since they are filled with copyrighted movie scenes.
I read they removed it because of its stereotype features. I wish they could focus on how wonderful the episodes are.
The issue is that Disney tries to appeal to these other people who consider it racist when they don’t watch The Muppet Show themselves. ThAt’S rAcIsT! rEmOvE tHiS cHaRaCtEr! Those people on Twitter who say that don’t give a crap about Kermit or Fozzy or Gonzo, not even Ms. Piggy. All they care about is what race or gender the characters are when they really don’t watch or care about what they’re complaining. They just think they’re on a mission to make all white people look racist. They’re the same people who called anyone who didn’t like Rey from Star Wars sexist. Just leave us alone and let us enjoy our favorite shows and movies without any political BS being shoved down our throats.
@@JamesNerdMan85 this ^
Except for the Chris Langham Episode, all of the cuts were made because of music licensing rights
I don't think they remove any material that aged poorly because of racist and other stereotypes. Typically they just place a disclaimer at the beginning.
As disappointing as the missing content is (and understandable in the case of the Chris Langham episode), it's still kind of a miracle we were able to get as much as we did.
Though still hoping the Brooke Shields episode eventually gets added.
It's not as simple as "he's guilty of child p-rn so let's bury his episode." First, he already served his sentence so he's basically being punished again. Second, he didn't just appear on screen for one episode. He wrote for the show for three seasons. That's more than half the run. Still, it's ironic. They put him in because they wanted to avoid the controversy associated with Richard Pryor's freebasing accident, but they retroactively stumbled into another one.
Nobody in *Meet the Feebles* crossed that line. Just drug users, BDSM fetishists, gays, stoners, coprophagists, panty sniffers, and emotional eaters.
I love how he uses the ‘Jolly Roger bay’ theme from super mario 64 in the background
A personal favourite, glad you enjoyed!
It took Disney years to get this show on the service, instead of bickering, people should just appreciate that Disney managed to get 95% of the show on the service instead of keeping it locked away. It was supposed to be released earlier in the year but they delayed it to get more of the rights cleared up
Methinks part of the complaining comes from the people who were wondering why the last two seasons NEVER showed up on DVD; they were supposed to be released back in 2010 - there was cover artwork prepared for Season 4's release, only for Disney to pull the DVD sets out of the company's home media release schedule before they ever made it to their release schedule(s) for reasons currently unknown.
It's also said that the rights for S4 and S5 HAD been cleared long before Disney Plus came into being.
That or why it is that Disney sat on the show until Disney Plus came along (something they express for shows they produce & thus own outright; but rarely do for shows produced for/by other divisions particularly those not directly tied to the Disney name such as ABC).
@@AndrewsMagicandMore I am going to be honest, most likely the sets did not sell well and got quietly cancelled. It's what happened to the Disney Afternoon volumes. The first volumes of DuckTales and Darkwing did well but the further volumes had much lower sales
Statler And Waldorf Is Gonna Love The News!
The Brooke Shields and Chris Langham episodes are available, I think, on Canadian Disney+.
I heard from Muppet History that they're working on the rights issues, so hopefully that's true. But uh...I understand cutting Langham's Episode...
Hopefully that's true, Indeed 😬
The rights to a lot of these songs may have changed hands over the decade through mergers and acquisitions so they have to keep these up to date to keep the shows in circulation.
You can't erase someone from history though. His appearance on Muppet Show has nothing to do with his crimes or conviction.
@@ScooterinAB I'm going to say that it is still understandable, tho. Knowing what we know now, Henson would most likely not allow him to even be part of the show in the writing room
@@ScooterinAB Choosing not to show an episode lauding a man who was convicted of possessing explicit images and videos of children is hardly "erasing someone from history". It's more a matter of taste than anything - Langham is still a credited writer of I dare even say the vast majority of episodes of the show, but his guest star episode puts him front and centre as though he's someone particularly worthy of praise as the guest stars always are. It's no different than Kevin Spacey being fired from House of Cards, or cutting Jimmy Savile from reruns of Top of the Pops and posthumously revoking his honours, or New York based shows and films cutting out references to the WTC in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.
And in any case, it's not as though these missing episodes are completely unavailable never to be seen by the public because they don't happen to be on Disney+. It's really not hard to find the Chris Langham episode (or the full versions of any episodes that have been edited/aren't hosted on Disney+) if someone really wants to see it.
If they can get the music rights to make all the episodes uncut They should do an ultimate complete series DVD and Blu-ray box set and probably at the same time also edit back in The ATV and ITC ending titles and if they can get the permission from ITV
Well I’m out here chilling, because I literally bought the whole series (unedited, and good quality) on bootleg DVD, like, a week before they announced they were putting it on Disney. For a second I thought I’d wasted my mullah.
God, lucky you for getting those bootleg DVDs, those are a literal treasure!
Our parents bought VHS tapes of The Muppet Show for my younger sibling and me when we were 5 and 12, respectively, and we were hooked! I collected the DVD sets when they released, but once I realized that the episodes were edited, it didn’t end up replacing my VHS tapes.
Most notably, Brian Henson’s introduction to each episode on the VHS. Has this been archived anywhere? Do you have a video listing the edits on the DVD? Were the episodes on the VHS unedited?
If seasons 4 and 5 were released, who would you think be featured on the DVD cover? My guess that Disney would’ve published Animal and Gonzo, although personally Rowlf and Scooter might make more sense to me.
Disney's choices will forever confuse me. Eh, for the sake of the muppets, i'll stay tuned in. Saw your comment on that reddit post, led me to find your channel :p
You've got some great videos man! Keep it up :)
Thank you, that's really appreciated!
Here’s one of the infamously confusing choices Disney+ is known to make.
It does half-cleverly make a disclaimer that some Disney works in the 20th Century like Peter Pan (1953), some of the DuckTales (late 1980s) episodes and The Aristocats have racism in them that gave multicultural people more harm than help, and yet it doesn’t warn the audience about sexism (against either one of the genders or both like in the Mulan remake) in some of its works (re: Cinderella 2 with Cinderella’s “This dress, ew!” line and the fact that they were serious about it) before they can watch the movie/TV series.
I just watched the news and they mentioned the Johnny Cash episode with the stage decorated with the confederate flag. But they just issued a disclaimer.
It is also the one episode that got dubbed into Irish Gaeilge.
Watching this video I gotta say you did it again! Filled me in on media facts I wasn't aware of! Hoping to stick around now, and even after you become a classic youtube name
Jesus loves you💙
There's 95% of the show on there which is more than we've ever had. A lot of it is simply down to music rights but people are too quick to blame Disney being woke.
Dear Disney,
Thank YOU for not screwing with the aspect ratio on these! But why on earth was the frame rate messed with? As a fan of the look of the originally shot video, I wish they would have kept it.
Pre-Viewing Thoughts: I can’t imagine what the problem is. I watched it myself and nothing seemed cut or censored. I guess the audio sounded weird.
Post-Viewing: Ohhhhhhhh shoot.
I would think explosions and occasional gunplay would be an issue. The Swedish Chef even uses an old-timey blunderbuss to make donuts.
I was massively disappointed that the Milligoon episode is missing as am a huge Spike fan and was looking forward to seeing the whole thing. There may be a issue with the Milligan estate on rights as the Ying Tong song is one of Spikes which may explain its absence.
this even happening is a miracle
I noticed disney did the samething with Family guy and the Simpson's they replaced or got rid of allot of the Jokes especially ones ripping on fox network and there is even some episodes missing.
lets all salute to the legacy of the muppets o7
i never knew that Kermit was recast before finding this channel
this man needs more subs keep up the great work
Thank you 😊
I remember the Brooke Shields episode. I can't imagine anything wrong with it that it wouldn't play on Disney+.
Let's hope that they change their minds in the future.
The problem is that it uses music from The Wizard of Oz and I don't think Disney will make a deal with WarnerMedia (who currently owns the rights to the film) to be able to use the music
I am currently binging on The Muppet Show and I hope that the copyrights can be settled as this is a classic that should not be dissected. As for the disclaimers, it is for the oversensitive types. I am sure that Henson meant it in the most positive light and love. He just wanted to bring enjoyment to all; we must appreciate him for that.
What about any episodes where miss piggy hits hard on an obviously unappreciative kermit? are they to be put out on the stoop along with clips the likes of peppy le peu?
Disney has been doing the Muppets dirty since day one. This jumbled mess of episodes isn't doing their rep any service.
wish there had all the movies too
Disney doesn't have much choice if it's a music rights issue
The Muppet Show even with cuts and warnings suddenly become the best thing on Disney plus which gives you an idea of how sh*t TV is in 2021.
WARNING: Some stuff maybe too sensitive to show to younger viewers....... so we’re just gonna edit that out.
@@JamesNerdMan85 Too sensitive, anyone under 30 🤣. Don’t write in that’s a joke I know not all under 30’s are avocado munching tossers 😁
@@misfit2022 I been watching anything Muppet related since I was born.
@@JamesNerdMan85 That is because it is good but my point was TV from 80’s should not be better than TV in 2021 but because of the content it is PS Muppet babies Animal go bye bye 😁
There were people bitching about the quality of TV in 1976. Trouble is, there was less to watch then than now.
Hey at least you Muppet fans got something. I'm still waiting for my childhood show Welcome To Pooh Corner to be put on the service and getting the whole Muppet series is probably more likely than that happening
Pooh Corner would be a cool one to see as it's pretty obscure. Here's hoping!
@@SomeBoiOnline Funny thing is I can see Pooh Corner getting hit with content warnings if it got on. There was an episode where a few of the characters danced around a fire dressed as Indians with the feathers and such lol
Haha you've gotta love the quirkiness of those old shows. Going of what Disney has done so far I'd say it would be left intact with content warnings on specific episodes.
I wonder if that’s the case just in the US, or in Europe too? In any case I’m enjoying the hell out of these episodes
I'm in the UK, as I mention in the video, there's actually a couple more episodes missing in Europe, as opposed to the US.
Well that is still more episodes then we had before so I will cheak them out. But confusing with the UK spots and stuff. I am gonna say for my case "Chris Langham" yes it is disgusting what he was convicted with, but that is assuming kids will google him up, or that parents don´t take responsebillity to know it themselfs. And I heard they 18 age limited some episodes so do that with Chris.
Never even HEARD of Chris Langham. And over the 5 season's there were odd choices of guest stars.
Season 3 or is it 4, has Marisa Berensin. I know, who?
The Brook Shield's episode was one of the episodes I was really looking forward to. I was really disappointed when I couldn't find it after they launched the series on Disney +.
You can find pretty much all the clips for it on here.
It's a very charming episode, and one of the VERY few where Miss Piggy doesn't hit anyone!! I have the episode myself on the old Time Life Best Of the Muppets. Brooke is adorable as Alice.
I think because of the wizard of Oz song and Fozzy as the tin manis why the whole episode was cut
Not gonna lie when I saw the title my first thought was music rights. Jonas left out certain episodes when the show first dropped on Disney plus but those episodes were eventually uploaded
Point 1) In Britain the commercial stations were under a tighter regime of regulation(geez, I wish our ACMA in Australia was as tough on our commercial stations), so they were very limited in how many ads could be run in a break, and how many breaks were permitted during a programme. In america it's "we interrupt our stream of ads to show a bit of the scheduled programme!" Point 2) The Henson Family decidedly should take back the rights to the Muppet franchise(characters, movies and TV shows) as Disney has wantonly abused their privilege of holding such a property as this.
Still no Muppets Tonight though :/
This is why it is better to buy all the Muppet Show episodes
This was a really interesting video. Strange how you don't have many subscribers yet.
Thank you! It means a lot to even have this many subscribers, but we can only hope more come in time 🙂
I really enjoy Miss Piggy's segment on Muppets Now. She's hilarious. I miss Kermit. I also like the prawn game show. Nothing beats the classic though.
this whole situation is infuriating
USA:Get Muppet Show
Another Countries:I am a joke to u?
Jogging was Steve's first solo.
Indeed it was!
@@SomeBoiOnline You can find clips for the Brooke Shields episode on here. I think it's pretty much all here.
@@Asukenick The entire episode is also on one of the Time Life DVDs.
There is a tiny cut in the season 1 Ben Vereen episode. During the Statler & Waldorf ending tag after the credits, Waldorf tells Statler “By the way your pants are on fire.” That part is there but Statler’s responding yell is cut. You just here him say “hmm?” Before he’s supposed to yell “Ohhhh!!” The yell is cut. It may just be a mistake from an old master edit. This is how it originally aired cut in the US with the full yell airing in the UK, But on the official released of the season one DVD it was restored and it’s even mentioned as a special feature pop up that it wasn’t in the original US airing. From my knowledge it’s the same on Disney+ everywhere that tiny bit is cut. At least it’s on the dvd. It’s so Minuscule though even if it was a mistake and they over looked or forgot to edit it back in, I don’t know if Disney would even bother to go back to fix it.
I'm disappointed that in the Vincent Price episode the Guy Lombardo, reference was not restored to the house of horror sketch. Instead we still get the lame "Jack Parnell" dub over.
@@chrismulwee4911 Wait why did they change it? What’s it like on the season one DVD? What’s it like on the time life DVDs?
@@zachhaumesser2092 They all, unfortunately use the "Jack Parnell" dub. Now I know that Parnell's orchestra were the real musicians off the Muppet Show, but it's Guy Lombardo that he (Price) CLEARLY turns into.
I take it, from your reply, that you've seen it the right way. I too saw the right version as a kid and a teen.
@@chrismulwee4911 right it makes more sense for Guy with the New Year’s Eve bit. What does the Muppet show book say? I have that packed away somewhere but I remember that skit being drawn in there. I’m assuming the original dub is lost forever. Is it even on UA-cam or the Internet?
@@zachhaumesser2092 The REAL version is very much in existance. Here is a comparison between the Jack Parnell dub and the original Guy Lombardo version.
The book ALSO uses Guy Lombardo

This is now how you make people happy Disney
Disney+ removes all mention of Lullaby of Birdland from the Don Knotts episode.
Sounds like the bird died...
EDITED AND MISSING EPISODES: Kaye Ballard, Bernadette Peters, Don Knotts, Cheryl Ladd, Spike Milligan, Danny Kaye, Roger Miller, John Denver, Anne Murray, James Coburn, Tony Randall, Hal Linden, Wally Boag, Buddy Rich, Marty Feldman, Brooke Shields, and Chris Langham.
Me watching every part of this video: this would be a good time for a VPN sponsor
First I've heard of a viewer actively requesting that a sponsorship segment interrupt a video 😆
@@SomeBoiOnline oh no that’s not what I’m saying! I don’t want it I’m just saying how you kept saying some stuff was only available in certain places sry
But you're correct it would be a good opportunity haha
@@SomeBoiOnline oh 🤣
Ay yo. Which episode is the one where beaker gets attacked by a gorilla in the lab. That scared me so much as a kid. And I kind of want to know which one it was.
Once again, no calling out of the botched frame rate or Disney’s annoying interface prompting you to skip parts. Are people really so blind that they can’t see what’s wrong with the picture quality on this?
What is this music in the background? It sounds very familiar. I think maybe something from Super Mario Galaxy?
Correct! It's a mix of "Gusty Garden Galaxy" amongst other tracks from the game, creator is linked in the description.
I am happy about seeing all those episodes I remember well.. But I'm saddened by the firing of the man who played Kermit since the passing of Jim Henson... The voice of the new guy playing him is all wrong.. he's not Kermit anymore. So all those new shows that they are talking about I won't be watching. It'll just be too sad, because it feels like Kermit has died to me.
Jim and Steve were Kermit. Matt still doesn't have it yet.
@@Asukenick exactly!
That's why i have no plans to get Disney Plus for now at least. Not only i have an issue with the company itself, but the service has a lot of problems. Great video btw
Thank you! The content it has to offer is great overall and caters to my interests. However there are a few issues as you mention, but hopefully these are resolved further down the line.
Let's blame Henson's son who couldn't care to preserve his father's legacy.
I love muppets
The Brooke Shields episode actually was available on DVD in the US in the early 2000s.
When Columbia TriStar had the rights, they cleared things Disney refused to.
In latinamerica we don't Even have the show, only some movies, ABC 2015 (witch i love btw) and muppets now from 2020 😭
Such a shame that everyone can't all have the same content worldwide 😔
Stuff like this really bugs me. Once something is created, it is created. That's it. Provided that it was done properly to begin with, someone who didn't create it shouldn't be allowed to censor it. I'm tired of media being help hostage for petty reasons.
I bet the Spike Milligan's episode ban in europe is a complete disaster, was it because there's too many stereotypes in "It's a Small World" skit? because i bet Disney seems to be alright about one Small World references to the show, which makes sense since Disney still have it's own rights to "It's a Small World" attraction, since they owned the property. and as of could think we were hyped for all episodes for the 5 seasons to be released on Disney+, in my opinion, it's a false advertisment, since some parts and episodes were missing from the list, unlike some of it on DVDs.
What about the Brooke Shields Alice In Wonderland episode with the Jabberwocky in it. The Jabberwocky scene is my favourite part of the episode because my favourite character Rowlf the dog is in that scene alongside Scooter.
The reason why the fifth season is missing the Sesame Street theme was because Disney doesn’t have the rights to the song, nor the show itself.
Didn't Henson have the rights (would not surprise me). Otherwise I don't see how they could be retroactively removed.
What's up with the Super Mario Galaxy Music at 1:57 ?
There's Super Mario Galaxy music throughout, as I find the tracks accompany my videos well. This particular remix is by AJ Dispirito, who you can find in the video's description.
Also can you believe they labeled the muppet show as offensive!
That offends me. It's homophobic to label the episode with Jim Nabors as offensive.
0:55 Is that a piano version of "Jolly Roger Bay"' from Super Mario 64?
It sure is! It's a remix by the talented AJ Dispirito, who is linked in the description.
there is a segment of the Mummenschanz missing on the Muppet Show too!
I started watching these - and noted that in the first season, the episodes are all out of order. It's just weird!
This kind of thing was inevitable... I remember the problems they had with an animated feature called Heavy Metal. The music was a big problem, too.
More important is the validity of content, period. Some kid will watch the show and have no idea that anything is wrong... scrub successful. This happens with books as well.
I am glad that this is being caught, but; how much of what’s out there is unnoticed? No Icebergs, please. Just consider it.
It's not just Disney+ though, the stuff is also missing on the DVDs.
I notice they have "disclaimers" on some of the episodes now, apparently I guess because they make fun of certain minorities. But the one episode with Rita Moreno where they make fun of the French, and Ms. Moreno herself makes fun of Mexicans, and *every* episode with the Swedish Chef, skirts on by without needing a disclaimer.
So why doesn't Disney just get the songs cleared?
I think the best episode of The Muppet Show is when Jim Nabors guest starred.
I completely understand why they had to do this.
Ma-rye-ah. They call the wind Mariah. I don't blame you for getting it wrong, but I live in North Dakota and am a huge Kingston Trio fan, so I thought that should be said.
As I was watching Season One, I think it was the Joel Grey episode that had a disclaimer from the people who are in charge of Disney Plus at the beginning. I saw the whole episode and couldn’t figure out what the disclaimer was for. Can anyone explain it?
i'm not 100% sure but i think is because of this: ua-cam.com/video/Hjx__HntNLw/v-deo.html
@@detectivewobbuffet2778 that would do it
we should just buy pirated seasons on DVD with all the clips, songs and celebrities.
Or make our own. Not that I'd know how to do that or anything... *eyes dart around*
So basically disney is forcing us to pay extra money if we wanna see the rest of the episodes
Super Mario Galaxy - Gusty Garden Galaxy Piano (Nostalgia Edition)
Is this what I'm hearing? What's the exact song if it's on youtube?
It's a remix of Gusty Garden Galaxy, titled 'Wind Garden' by AJ Dispirito - who is linked in the description. Here's the exact video: ua-cam.com/video/nOqfZiEhsfE/v-deo.html
@@SomeBoiOnline I didn't read the description close enough. I knew it was well a made Mario Galaxy remix.
Some of the best! Glad you enjoyed.
I’m actually not entirely concerned
Disney released the Dinosaur series and later edit the episode list so the final dark episode would be the last episode featured there
Gives me hope whatever episodes are missing in Muppet Show, at least some would be updated
Yes I think it's definitely possible, though in the UK we don't have Dinosaurs at all 😆
@@SomeBoiOnline well Star is launching internationally soon, so far out of US lol maybe it’ll include it there
@@SomeBoiOnline I heard some non-US countries are getting *The Golden Girls* on Disney+. Here in the US, it is on Hulu, and they recently pulled an episode from 1988 called "Mixed Blessing" in which Dorothy's son marries a Black woman twice his age. When the woman's family is at their house, Rose and Blanche walk in with mudpacks on their faces and once they realize who is there, they try to explain that it isn't blackface.
Love the music. Its super Mario
Confused on the Brooke Sheilds episode thing. Why would refferences to Alice in Wonderland keep it off, isn't that book in the public domain? And Disney owns the movie so not clear on why it would be an issue. Am I missing something?
Its because they sing Were off to see the Wizard and they can't get the rights to it I believe.
@@Asukenick Huh, makes more sense but would they not be able to edit it out? Or was it too integral. Because I know other songs were edited out.
@@Asukenick Yeah, and I honestly don't think Disney is willing to strike a deal with Warner (who currently owns The Wizard of Oz movie and songs) to get the music rights for the episode
Why was the Alice in Wonderland episode removed? Was there music from the MGM movie in it?
Yes with Were off to see the Wizard.
It is because it used music from The Wizard of Oz, which is currently owned by Warner Bros
What is the background music being used here?
It's comprised of a few remixed tracks from Super Mario Galaxy, by the talented AJ Dispirito!
Can't imagine music rights being the issue with Brooke shields episode. Disney owns Alice in wonderland, and just about everything else these days as well.
Disney don´t own Alice in Wonderland that is public domain. But yeah that is not the reason they toke those parts away.
@@Ahturos I'm pretty sure it was because of the song Were off to see the Wizard.
Hm that could link to the absence of The Muppets' Wizard of Oz on the service too. Or maybe not... Nonetheless strange it's not on there.
@@Asukenick Not to mention that the song is a payoff for a running gag in the episode, which would have made it difficult to edit out.
1. Alice in Wonderland is in the public domain
2. The reason why the episode is missing is because it used music from The Wizard of Oz, which is owned by WarnerMedia via Turner Enterainment.
Reigon Block will get stop as more and more people use VPN apps. Thank god technological workarounds are easily available and a way to fight back corporate autocratic control. I just wish people had more monetary discipline over instant gratification.
