I'm not 100% sold on the angle of this new show (Who is the audience? It's definitely not a kids' show. Will there be guest stars? Songs? Dances? Where is the vaudeville?), but they are still my favorite bunch of felt puppets so this week's post is for them.
Here is a collection of everything Muppets-- every movie, every straight-to-DVD movie, every TV show, every TV special-- to get you prepared for this new show or help you say goodbye to the "Old" Muppets. I have starred the ones that are definitely worth a watch. Either way... it's time to light the lights.
Movies
**The Muppet Movie (1979)You can't mess with the original. With Muppets riding bikes, singing about rainbows and trying to make it big.
The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
**The Muppets Christmas Carol (1991)
Still one of my favorite Christmas movies, and a very accurate telling of the original Dickens. Sadly, when the movies was transferred to DVD, it lost one of the best songs ("When Love is Gone"- below video). Make sure you check it out or watch the movie online.
**The Muppets Treasure Island (1996)
This is when the Muppets are at their best- retelling classics in the fun way that only the Muppets can do.
The Muppets (2011)
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
It's a Very Merry Muppets Christmas (2002)- TV
The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (2006)- TV
TV Shows
**Sam and Friends (1955-61)The very first time we see Kermit the Frog.
**The Muppet Show (1976-81)
Funny, no one realizes that the "Muppet Show" didn't last as long as the cartoon "Muppet Babies". People kept watching this show because of its musical numbers and to catch what guest stars were on. (Just a tip for the upcoming show)
Muppet Babies (1984-90)
Jim Henson's Little Muppet Monsters (Sept. 14 1985- Sept. 16 1985)
**The Jim Henson Hour (April 14 1989- July 30 1989)
Like "Walt Disney presents...", Jim Henson talks to his audience about how he created his world. Sadly, it didn't last that long.
Muppets Tonight (1996-98)
**Muppet Moments (April 2015-present) Disney Channel
The Muppets and kids! You can't help but smile at the Muppets improvising with some kids.
