Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s The Muppet Show!

I had my eye on this box set before Christmas, and thanks to a little bot of Christmas Money, and HMV dropping the price to £25 I was able to pick it up. It’s 28 episodes of The Muppet Show. Just look at this list: Roger Moore, Lynda Carter, Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamil, Sylvester Stallone, Peter Sellers, Debbie Harry, Shirley Bassey, Andy Williams, Steve Martin, Bob Hope, John Cleese, Bruce Forsythe (yeah!), Danny Kaye, Brooke Shields, Dudley Moore, Raquel Welch, Peter Ustinov, Vincent Price (yeah again!), Gene Kelly, Elton John, John Denver, Kenny Rogers, Alice Cooper, Twiggy, Liza Minelli, Julie

Channel 5 Are First

Congratulations are in order as Channel 5 become the first UK terrestrial TV channel to show “The Towering Inferno” since the World Trade Centre was struck by Saudi terrorists.
