My husband recorded the Muppet Christmas from TV when the kids were little and we watched it every, single year. (Sometimes numerous times in one season, on car trips, at grandparents houses, etc.) It was fun and very enjoyable since the Muppets have great kid appeal and we remembered watching the Muppets as kids. Unfortunately, our old VHS tape, complete with commercials is worn out and we wanted a DVD version. I purchased this last year and was tremendously disappointed to see that some of our ABSOLUTE FAVORITE quirky moments of the show were completely cut out and were not even in the extra features. My favorite joke, "It's Reindeer"... "No, it's snow, darling!" was cut out as well as the muppet baby film and some other really fantastic jokes and ridiculous slips on the icy patch.If you've never watched this in any other form, you'll love it, it's still very cute and heart warming. For those of us who know it by heart, it is a tremendous disappointment.
