The Muppet Show: The Complete Third Season!
I hate to give away my age, but I grew up with the Muppet Show. I still reenact The Swedish Chef while I am cooking as honestly I am not the best cook ever so I might as well be funny.
My favorite episode EVER made is on this DVD.
Alice Cooper visits the Muppets and offers the Muppets anything they want in exchange for their souls. It sounds awful but this was during the time where rock stars such as Alice Cooper were considered by many to be EVIL.. (LOL) Oh man, it's funny and I promise its children friendly unless they are scared of guys with long hair and super bad wardrobes.
A little side note.. Fozzie Bear is on the cover and he is actually fuzzy. Not that his fuzziness is a huge deal but I thought it was neat.
The final retail price will be $39.99 and that sounds a bit high, but for 24 episodes thats really like paying about $1.65 per episode. Totally worth it to regain a piece of my childhood.
Here is the actual info on the DVD :
The Muppet Show: The Complete Third Season

BURBANK, Calif., February 20, 2008 – It’s time to welcome back Kermit, Miss Piggy and the gang when all 24 irreverent and witty episodes of The Muppet Show: The Complete Third Season come to DVD on May 20, 2008 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment. Available on DVD for the first time, the complete third season of the Emmy® Award winning comedy series comes in a special four-disc set with new behind the scenes bonus features and rare original skits every fan must own!

Created by legendary puppeteer Jim Henson and featuring the inimitable voice talents of Frank Oz, The Muppet Show introduces audiences to the ultimate puppet femme fatale, Miss Piggy, and also stars Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Animal and a host of other iconic characters. The show’s zany skits, hilarious gags, and upbeat musical numbers make it a true family favorite, slyly clever enough for the discerning adult and silly enough for the child in everyone.

Riding herd on the spirited Muppet troupe keeps Kermit on his toes as the camera goes backstage to document the rivalries and romances of his all star cast.

I LOVE kermit!! I loved the mupets when I was young, I would love to share them with my children.

I never got to watch t.v. when I was younger, so it wasn't until after I was married that my husband introduced me to the Muppet Show. I'll enter this for his sake, and mine, and for the sake of our three girls, because the Muppet Show rocks!
I don't have just one favorite, but the Swedish Chef makes me laugh every time I see him.

I love the Muppet Show (and own the first 2 seasons on DVD)! A few of my favorite characters are: Gonzo, Beaker and of course Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem. Loved the show as a kid and still do.
Love the muppets, love the Mahna Mahna sketch, still cracks me up!--leenburke@yahoo.com
I love Muppets Taken Manhattan.
Oh I love the Muppet Show! I have not seen it in so long. I just know my kids would love it as much as I do. I love all the muppets, but I especially love Kermit!
mels7777@hotmail.com
Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy are my favorites. That's true love!!
I love the Great Gonzo.
Beaker cracks me up. In contrast to your Alice Cooper, my favorite episode is with John Denver! :-)
Miss Piggy!!!
melissaroehl at yahoo . com
My favorite muppet is GONZO of course!
Animal! without a doubt. . . this show brings back so many happy memories :o) They need to bring it back prime time!
I adore the Muppets. It's formed my entire worldview. Kermit is, of course, my favorite.
We love the Muppet Show - so far we only have season 1 on dvd. My son and I love to start at the very beginning... with Mahna Mahna! It gets us every time. Thanks for the contest.
My husband grew up watching the muppets. He may not admit it, but he still loves all of the muppets. Actually, he was a big fan of Jim
Henson! I would say that "Kermit" is most favorite muppet. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway drawing.

We love The Muppet Show. A few years back, I bought my kids the Season 1 DVD and it was so great sharing with them all of the classics that I enjoyed as a kid, like "Mna-Mna."
I have always liked Animal. From the Season 3 list, I think the Harry Belafonte episode would be the one that is most memorable to me. I can still picture him singing The Banana Boat Song (Day-O).

I love the Swedish chef!
I used to love the Muppet Show.
In particular, I loved Beaker and Prof. Honeydew.
I love the Muppet Show, though I wasn't often allowed to stay up late enough to watch it. My favorite Muppet Show Muppet is Gonzo, hands down (though I have a soft spot for Ernie on Sesame Street).
I love Miss Piggy she was my favorite along with the Chef!
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
well i love beaker but my kids love gonzo!
well i love beaker but my kids love gonzo!
Animal has got to be my favorite. In fact we sometimes refer to our youngest as "Animal" because she is so crazy and has wild red hair and makes us laugh. I have great memories of spending evenings with my grandparents watching The Muppet Show on Saturday nights.
I couldn't choose a favorite episode, but I'd love to see the one with Danny Kaye as the Swedish Chef's uncle. Thanks for the contest!

I like Kermit the best. ALways have; always will!
Who doesn't love the Muppets! I think I'd have to say that Kermit is my favorite :)
I watched the Muppet Show all the time. I guess my favorite is Kermit.
I LOVE THE MUPPETS!!!
My fave is Miss Piggy, we can relate lol
Gonzo is our family favorite.
Kermit that beautiful green thing!
I love the Muppets! We have the first season on DVD and my hubby plays the "Mahnahmahnah" sketch for our girls all the time - in fact I have that song as my ringtone when he calls my cellphone. :)
Kermit is my favorite Muppet!
Added this one to my Contests page at http://momstakeonthings.com/?page_id=6

Miss Piggy has always been my favorite!!! I grew up watching the Muppet Show and I would love for my girls to enjoy it too.
My daughter likes Miss Piggy
I like Fozzy.
His acting ability is underated & lives in Kermit's shadow! :)
We LOVE the Muppets! I remember looking forward to it every week! I loved the swedish chef!
I can't believe the Alice Cooper episode is your favorite!! Its mine too!! I've always loved Animal, I love when he and James Coburn meditate! It is great!!!
Well, for this season, Liberace is probably my favorite episode (so far).
Overall, I like Mark Hamill and Garth Brooks as guest stars (Garth was on Muppets Tonight and did everything except country most of the show).
Favorite sketch overall - probably the wonderful trio singing "Danny Boy" - Beeker, Animal, and the Swedish Chef. As a musician, that cracks me up.
(Had no idea Season 3 was coming out so soon after Season 2. The wait between Seasons 1 and 2 was really long.)
paschott at g mail daht com (in case it's not in the profile)
I am a big fan of Gonzo. And I haven't seen it, buy my guess is the Liberace episode will definitely by my favorite. Liberace and the Muppets -- what's not to love?
I've not seen many of the show's episodes, but I love the movies, and anything to do with the muppets. The episode with Liberace sounds great :)

My favorite series of sketches was Pigs In Space. I'm not sure why, but oh did I love it! I so miss the real Muppet show. It's great that it's back on DVD. It's hard to pick one favorite Muppet, but I think I'll go with Kermit. What would the Muppets be without him?

I only have vague memories of this, so I'm not sure who my favorite character is. I do think Beaker is cute, so I'll go with him.
Wasn't there an episode with Mark Hamill (and possibly other Star Wars peeps? I'd love to see that.)
i love oscar - he's my hero
Miss Piggy was always my favorite!
My favorite Muppet is Animal on the drums and my faorite episode is the one when Julie Andrews was on.

Janice. She's so groovy. Especially in the Veterinarian skits.
I love Animal! My son loves Miss Piggy!
I loved Kermit, Gonzo, Beaker, oh heck I loved them all. I loved the Chef chasing around the chickens, and pigs in space, and ... I just loved that show, it was a big part of my happy childhood memories.
My favorite was Gonzo! I would love to win this and share it with my daughter! It would be perfect for family night.
I love the muppets. Statler and Waldorf crack me up and I love animal, too.
Sooooo excited about season 3. I love way to many of the muppets to mention them, but one of my favorite sketches is in the first season when rolf sings "you and I and george" I crack up every time.
dreamsngr@yahoo.com
Sam Eagle was always trying to get things to run smoothly. and failed. "PIGS IN SPACE" was another segment I loved. So much like Star Trek but OH so my more funnier.
Please let me relive these laughs.
Thank you.

Kermit is my favorite, he's so loveable. Miss Piggy reminds me of this girl (exfriend) who stole my true love years ago from me.
I did not even think about the Muppet Show on DVD. I used to be an avid watcher. I wonder if my husband has seen them. His mom controlled what he watched. This would be a neet thing to add to our collection.

I never could resist Fozzie Bear! I'm not so keen on Kermit and Miss Piggy for some reason. I like everyone else though.
What a great contest and DVD set! I love all of the Muppets! One favorite is Beaker -- he just makes me laugh! Of course also love Kermit, Fozzie and all the regulars. My children think Animal is hysterical! Thank you for the chance to win!

When I was working full time, going to school full time and raising my two grade school children full time, I allowed myself 1/2 hour a week for TV. My favorite TV show was and will always be The Muppets. Animal was my sons favorite. His son has never seen them so it would be great to win this DVD.
I have to go with "Animal"!
I have always loved Kermit and would love to pass this along to my daughter! Fozzie rocks too!
My son loves Sesame Street and anything to do with puppets so I know he'd enjoy the Muppets as much as I did as a child, heck I'd enjoy revisiting this part of my childhood!
My favorite has always been Gonzo!
Your listed on my bloggy's sidebar!

Oh my, I do not think I could pick just one favorite episode. Favorite character is easy. I loved Miss Piggy. I had two Piggy stuffed animals (one puppet) when I was little. I had a ton of collectibles with her as well. She was so versatile in the sketches she was in ;)

Episode 8 with Loretta Lynn is my favorite on this dvd. She did a skitt with these little Cabbage Patch looking babies that was so funny. I love the Muppets, all of them. If I had to pick a favorite then I guess I would have to pick Animal.

I loved the swedish chef. I frequently break out with the "da bork" "da bork" while I'm cooking. Another other fan may be tempted to fall on the floor laughing at my wit, however my husband just looks at me like I'm the wierdo in this family. (He grew up in the country and didn't have cable to watch tv.)
neeseyb1 at alltel dot net
I've always had a soft spot for Miss Piggy
I haven't watched this in many years. Kermit is and always has been my favorite!

Kermit is my favorite.
Woka, woka, woka, Fozzie Bear was always my favorite. I even had a stuffed animal of him I slept with as a little girl. I love, love, love the Muppet Show! I got the first season on dvd, asked for the 2nd for my birthday and christmas, didn't get it though. But I need to have this one because Fozzie is on the cover, and like yourself my fave episode is the Alice Cooper one as well. I have even got my kids hooked on the show now.
Kermit has always been my favorite too :)
I love those two who sit up in the balcony and heckle the characters-I have no idea what their names are, but they are the BEST!

I love Kermit the Frog...he is so cute. "Its not easy being green" LOL
I've always been partial to Rolf. I have no idea why. I also always loved Ms. Piggy's dogs. I don't know if they count, but I remember, as a kid, I always got so excited when I saw them on the show.
Kermit
The Swedish Chef
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
My favorite Muppet has always been Rolf. I like a dog who can play the piano. Plus, he reminded me of a stuffed animal my grandfather gave me as a little girl.
I like the Beaker guy who is always nervous, he's the assistant to a scientist guy who can't see good...I would love to watch this with my kids.
i really love the episode with Alice Cooper, that one was sooo awesome. And i love Miss Piggy, how could u not love her??
My favorite muppet show episode is when they sing Manah, manah. I still crack up and now my kids can join in the fun too!
My favorite Muppet is Beeker.
Thanks so much.
The swedish chef. Hands down.
Kermit!
jaydonco1 (at) aol (dot) com
