Editorial Review:
And now a show that needs no introduction, but here's one anyway... Go bonkers with Beaker, goofy with Gonzo and join the brave cast of "Pigs In Space" for one of the most revolutionary and acclaimed shows in the history of television. Garnering an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Comedy-Variety or Music Program in its hilarious second season, THE MUPPET SHOW redefined prime time and showcased a host of outrageous guest stars, including Steve Martin, Peter Sellers, Elton John, Julie Andrews and more. Experience all 24 episodes from Season Two – digitally remastered and restored – in this special 4-disc DVD set. With hours of bonus features, including THE MUPPETS VALENTINE SPECIAL and rare archival footage, THE MUPPET SHOW is even better than you remember!
Description of The Muppet Show - Season Two:
Quick wit, slapstick comedy, excellent puppets and puppetry conceived by Jim Henson, an astounding array of guest stars, and a whole lot of backstage chaos made The Muppet Show a favorite family show for a whole generation in the mid to late 1970's and those same ingredients make it equally enjoyable for today's audiences. The 24 episodes of this second 1976 season of The Muppet Show represent the family variety show at its strongest, with familiar characters like host Kermit the Frog, his assistant Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, Rolph the piano playing dog, and regular segments like "Pigs in Space," "Veterinarian's Hospital," "Swedish chef," and "At the Dance." Intermingled throughout are silliness, skits, and songs featuring an impressive roster of guest stars including entertainment greats like Judy Collins, Don Knotts, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, George Burns, John Clese, and Bob Hope. The hilarious predicaments of the Muppets and their guest stars are absolutely timeless and the look back in time at the earlier careers of enduring stars like Steve Martin, Julie Andrews and Elton John is equally fascinating. Highlights of this second season are Kermit's emotional ballad "It's Not Easy Being Green," Judy Collins classic rendition of "Send in the Clowns," the two old men's curmudgeonly and witty criticism of every show, Miss Piggy's determined and amorous pursuit of Kermit, and the Swedish Chef's bumbling inability to catch up with the chicken. Bonus features include the rare 1974 Muppets Valentine Special featuring a young Mia Farrow and a host of virtually unknown Muppet characters including the enormous blue monster, Thog. Also included is Muppets' music video of "Keep Fishin'," and interview footage of "The Muppets on the Muppets." Whether reliving childhood evenings spent with family around the television or experiencing The Muppet Show for the first time, viewers of all ages will adore this second season. --Tami Horiuchi
The Muppet Show - Season Two Reviews:
A Child's Delight 
2009-11-14 - Muppet's Season 2 was a gift for a grandchild and he was very happy with his gift. Also shipping was prompt.
Family Fun!
2009-10-26 - It was wonderful to find this collection. My daughter (10) gets as much enjoyment from these as I do. I grew up with the muppets, and finding the entire 2nd season was wonderful.
And let's face it, would you rather watch The Muppets, or what passes for pre teen TV nowadays?
The Muppet Show Season 2
2009-10-21 - The season two was bought as a gift purchase for a birthday for my spouse. The entire season did seem to like a bit of what we had seen in seasons 1 and 3. For the most part, we've come to know and understand that season two apparently just the headway of season 3. We did like it, however, in some parts of the shows are a bit slow getting started. This is not to say it was worth adding to the collection.
Awesome... But one thing missing... 
2009-09-22 - The fact that you can now purchase many episodes of the Muppet Show is amazing. The quality is good and the special features are very interesting. If you have however seen the season 1 DVDs of the Muppet Show you will find that on season 2 they no longer have the Muppet Morsels (the Pop-Up Video style information you can play during each episode). If you are purchasing it solely for that, then you will be disappointed. But for everything else you will enjoy what you receive.
Laugh Out Loud
2009-09-13 - These are classic Jim Henson at his best. Any true Muppet show lover should have these. The stars are dated but the punch lines never get old.
