An iconic variety show that ran from 1976 to 1981, The Muppet Show was a masterpiece of puppetry and slapstick humor as well as a showcase for the best musical and comic talent of its day. Season three ran 1978-1979 and featured 26 famous guest stars, including Roy Clark, Pearl Bailey, Jean Stapleton, Harry Belefonte, Danny Kaye, Cheryl Ladd, Raquel Welch, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, and Sylvester Stallone. Some of the most unique episodes of the season were the Lynn Redgrave show, in which she and all the Muppets used the entire show to re-enact the story of Robin Hood; the Loretta Lynn episode, which was ostensibly filmed at the railroad station when the theater was being fumigated; and the visual effects-laden Alice Cooper episode. Other notable moments include Liberace's performances of everything from a Chopin Nocturne to a Boogie Woogie piece, Gilda Radner's amusing musical rendition from Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta "Carrots of Penzance" (or was that "Parrots of Penzance," or "Pirates of Penzance?"), and Danny Kaye's appearance as the Swedish Chef's uncle. Naturally, the season features all your favorite Muppet characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Scooter, Rowlf, Crazy Harry, Beaker, and Animal as well as the beloved skits Muppet Labs, Pigs in Space, Swedish Chef, Veterinarian's Hospital, and Muppet Newsflash. Truly timeless entertainment for all ages, this third season of The Muppet Show is just as adept at bringing back memories as it is making new ones. --Tami Horiuchi

great November 18, 2008
I used to watch them back in the 70s and 80s. never forgot kermit or Miss Piggy.. very nice stories with very interesting guests. music, show, and funny stories.
Just Great! October 11, 2008
One question though: I noticed that one or two of the skits are repeated in two of the episodes (on Disc 1 anyway) Rowlf and Fozzie singing "An Actor's Life for Me" and the Chickens playing the chimes. Maybe one of the episodes was a UK release?
Hard to argue with Muppets September 30, 2008
There's not much to complain about when you're talking about the muppets. I've purchased all three seasons for my girlfriend, and she's pleased as punch! Season 2 and 3 even had the "fuzzy" velvet covers.
still fun after all these years September 23, 2008
My husband is a big Muppets fan, and when he found out Season Three was out on DVD, he didn't even ask.. he just ordered it. sure, some of the guests stars we are like: Huh? whozzat? but all in all, it's a great romp overall.
Very happy. September 22, 2008
The DVD set arrived in perfect condition in a fairly short time. Very satisfied and happy to have more Muppets to watch!
