CORRECTION: MUPPET SHOW SEASON ONE HAS EDITS

[Chelsea]

I'm ashamed to say I missed this the first time.

Episode 3: Joel Grey:
Sketch: "Muppet Newsflash"
Song: "Stormy Weather", Wayne & Wanda-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf
There's actually a bit added compared to the original listing I have - a small bit between Gonzo, Joel, with guest spot by a Banana.

Episode 6: Jim Nabors
Song: "Gone With The Wind", Jim-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf
"The Danceros" -A four legged dancing creature
Strange Sketch Order in 2nd Quarter of Show

Episode 8: Paul Williams:
Song: All of Me

Episode 9: Charles Aznavour
Song: "The Old Fashioned Way", Charles-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf

Episode 19: Vincent Price
Song: "You’ve Got A Friend", Vincent & The Monster

I don't have the resources to see if any specific lines were cut out of any scenes (doubtful), almost all edits are music edits). Pitchfilm MAY have had a line cut out - it's possible, but I didn't notice anything condusive to an edit.

Original Pilot (Sex and Violence) runs 25:22, so I doubt it's edited. Pitchfilm is 2:51...

this is disappointing, but to be expected i guess...

I remember most of those segments:

Episode 3: Joel Grey:
Sketch: "Muppet Newsflash"
Song: "Stormy Weather", Wayne & Wanda-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf

i barely remember this one, never thought much of Wayne and Wanda anyways

Episode 6: Jim Nabors
Song: "Gone With The Wind", Jim-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf
"The Danceros" -A four legged dancing creature

i like the dancing creature, but Jim Nabors singing? TOO SCARY *shivers*

Episode 8: Paul Williams:
Song: All of Me

I really liked the Paul Williams episode, its a shame that any of the songs were cut from this one

Episode 9: Charles Aznavour
Song: "The Old Fashioned Way", Charles-w/comments from Statler & Waldorf

I don't remember this one

Episode 19: Vincent Price
Song: "You’ve Got A Friend", Vincent & The Monster

this was a classic segment from the show, if any of these songs could've been "saved", this would've been the one.

I don't have the resources to see if any specific lines were cut out of any scenes (doubtful), almost all edits are music edits). Pitchfilm MAY have had a line cut out - it's possible, but I didn't notice anything condusive to an edit.

Original Pilot (Sex and Violence) runs 25:22, so I doubt it's edited. Pitchfilm is 2:51...

i think most fans are still going to be pretty happy even with these cuts.

this is very dissapointing especially 2 of those episodes i really remember the scenes well, hopefully this is justa rumor, if Disney cant clear music rights i dont know who can

How can it be a rumor when I checked the episodes myself? Having taken a close look at the episodes in question, and comparing them to what's supposed to be in each episode...what's listed above *IS* edited out.

NOOOO!! Why Disney? Why? Time-Life can release uncut versions. Why can't they?

I might not buy this now. Unless they decide to release every episode unedited.

...because TimeLife was able to pick and choose which episodes they were going to release, this made it easy for them to avoid any licensing problems.
