Whoring for the Frog

Would I post a banner for The Muppet Show if I wasn’t an actual fan of the show? Well, yeah, probably; I’m a sucker for free shit. But the fact remains that I bought the first-season set a few weeks ago–long before I was asked to add the banner–and have been digging it ever since. The pitch film that Henson made for the network alone is enough to make the discs worth picking up.

Anyway, here’s the official press-release:
