Talk:Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas (TV program)

message: I removed the claim that some of Kermit the Frog's narrative introduction is edited from the DVD. It isn't. The confusion over this is that the original short movie, which ran on HBO, was edited for commercial TV release, with songs and scenes cut short (to make room for commercials) and extra narration by Kermit to fill in the gaps. For people who were more familiar with the edited version, the DVD seems like it's been edited when it has actually been restored
: No, Kermit is cut from the DVD. I've never seen either of the DVD releases themselves, but I have read on other sites that his narration is cut out. In fact, before he moved his articles to Progressive Boink, Mike Fireball wrote mini-reviews of different Christmas specials on his old website, this one among them. And in his review, he noted that "some idiot decided to edit Kermit out of [Sony] DVD, but leave him on the cover". And even worse, according to this article at Muppet Central, due to the Walt Disney Company's ownership of Kermit, he's not on the HIT Entertainment DVD either. So technically, he is cut from the DVD. - Nintendo Maximus
:: Kermit is not cut from the Sony DVD, at least not completely.  (I own it and am comparing at the moment.)  He shows up in the beginning, but doesn't seem to be involved after that.  I recall him showing up at the end of the restaurant scene, but since the Sony DVD continues beyond that scene, I suspect that was part of the 'extra narration' mentioned above. -- Kazrak 03:25, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm curious if a list of releases, like "this DVD" version, or "that VHS" version could be listed, detailing the differences.  That way one would know which ones need to be bought and combined to aquire 100% of the movie. Automagically 20:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am completely confused on the idea that Kermit was cut from some of the issues due to legal reasons. The truth is Kermit was never part of the show, he was added later to the ABC aired shortened version of the show. The original version is the HIT Entertainment one, which is what was originally aired on HBO in 1977.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.204.232 (talk) 01:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
