Cita:The past weekend the Brooklyn Academy of Music ("BAM") held a gathering called "Muppets, Music and Magic: Jim Henson's Legacy". It was a 2-day affair featuring workshops about the Muppets and Henson's related work, screenings of various films such as The Muppet Movie and Labyrinth, and lots of guest speakers.
As you may recall, Disney bought the rights to most Muppet items in early 2004, as we mentioned in passing here. Now reader "JVG" sent the first report of several from this past weekend that told us that during question-and-answer sessions at BAM, it was revealed that (in "JVG's" words) Disney plans to release a full first season Muppet Show set in 2005 or 2006.
Similar reports also seem to be hitting at MuppetCentral.com, where extras seem to be in-the-works as well:
...Craig Shemin announced that they WILL be releasing season by season box sets of TMS on DVD. No details right now cause they just found out today but they are forthcoming. They said that Crag [sic] and Jerry Juhl were both being interviewed for them so it sounds like we might have a few extra goodies tossed in too.
That's very exciting news, and we'll be looking forward to it here. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about this, there were many of you. Stay tuned for updates as this progresses.
