Not as good as the first set. 
2008-06-18
This may not matter to alot of people,but I was really bummed after buying this set and discovering no Muppet Morsels(the pop-up facts about the show and the guest stars)like they had on the first set.When I buy classic movies and shows I really enjoy learning little things about them that I may not have known before.Most sets like this have a commentary track or something,this has nothing like that,and after having it on the first set I feel like I'm getting less for my money.If you don't care about things like that,and just want the episodes then it's a good set,but I was a little disappointed.
Hilarious

This is a great dvd set! (as was the 1st one) Lots of big guest stars. My whole family LOVES it. Especially my 2-year-old! We can't wait for season 3! My husband and I love re-watching these old shows that we watched as kids!

I bought this because I have season 1, for the nostalgia. My three children love the Muppets and season 2 was a huge improvement over season 1. Some of the best guests the muppets ever had, including Edger Bergan and Charlie McCarthy, Steve Martin, , Don Knotts, Bernadette Peters, Dom Deluise, George Burns, John Clese, and Bob Hope. I'd never need another Muppet Show episode if it included John Denver, but alas, he didn't show up until season 4.

I introduced my four grandsons to the Muppet Show with the first season.
We had all but worn it out when I learned that the Second Season was available. Now we have a new treasure of pure fun, for children and adults alike, to share as a family. I've already pre-ordered Season Three. The Muppet Show is a national treasure.

Pigs In Spacccccccceeeee! 2008-03-27
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!
Show enters it's stride

I watched this show over a few nights with my six year old daughter.
I remember it first time around, and was looking forward to reliving happy memories of the show as I recalled it.
This is an important point because the first season whilst funny, didn't quite hit the high water mark as this and subsequent seasons did.
Miss Piggy's unrequited love for Kermit, the introduction of Pigs in Space, Gonzo's ever more ridiculous sketches, The Swedish Chef (who had my aforementioned daughter in stitches), Stadler and Waldorf, and the calibre of guests stars were a few of the highlights of this seson, which does'nt let up for a second.
The sound and video quality are excellent for a series recorded 30 years ago. The extras are less stellar in quality, although the 'Valentine Special' (25 mins.) is quite good, and a nice addition due to it's rarity value. The 'Muppets on the Muppets' feature (12 mins.) is OK, and a Weezer music video promo clip (4 mins.) round off the extras.
Recommended for kids of all ages!
A true classic continues 2008-03-25
I love the Muppets and are glad they are continuing to release this wonderful show in a wonderfully done box set. This is a wonderful set of classic family fun with the characters we have all grown to love. i can't wait for Season 3.
The Muppet Show Season 2 2008-03-03
I love this video!! I loved the Mupppet Show and watched it every time it was on when it was prime time TV. I purchased Season One and plan to purchase Season Three when it becomes available in May. The talent of Jim Henson, Frank Oz and Richard Hunt were awesome! Let me know when you have Season Three available.
Count me among the very disappointed.

Season Two takes awhile to get going, which may be due to the staff changes that took place after the previous year. The first weeks of the show don't hold together as consistently funny as they had been. It isn't until disc 2 that the show's sketch writing gets back on its feet.
The package for Season Two of this show is an enormous step down from the previous season. Buena Vista cut corners, and it shows.
The most enlightening extra from Season One, the pop-up trivia notes, are not to be found here. This is an enormous omission; it added a great deal to my appreciation for the show, knowing about how decisions had been made, and about many of the old songs which the Muppets rely upon in this series.
Those bonus features that remain are disappointingly mediocre. The "1974 Valentine Special" is an enormous, directionless mess. The presence of Mia Farrow doesn't in any way make up for a script which seems to have no point. This show must have been very easy to obtain, because it's not very good. It may have been a practice run for the Muppet Show itself, as an experiment with musical variety.
"Muppets on the Muppets" seems to be a series of ad-libbed "interviews" with the cast of the 1996 "Muppets Tonight." Familiar faces like Piggy and Gonzo have been redesigned, in an attempt to depict characters who have grown older. Gonzo, for example, comes off as though he's meant to sound like an older, jaded Italian-American movie star, complete with weight gain, hair loss, and "neighborhood" dialect. Most of the characters interviewed sound as though this bit was done for the crew's wrap party, coming off as cynical and disparaging of other characters. The "who's he?" reference to Jim Henson falls flat, but says a lot about how Disney may be treating the whole franchise.
The Weezer video is cute, but lonely in this collection.
The Muppet Show is beloved by several generations of people around the world; its packaging should reflect this. Buy Season Two only if you must have the complete run, but know that they're skimping on it.
