I came upon this exchange on Twitter this morning. The question was why isn't the original Muppet Show available on Disney+? To me that's the highest value marriage of legacy content and streaming platform. The answer was that media companies and estates' representatives have lobbied for their own advantages on copyright law until it has become an abyss from which some old shows will never emerge. I bought the Muppet Show DVD box sets when they came out. The second season came out soon enough after the first season and the third season took much longer to come out. I'm still waiting for a fourth and fifth season; when I went to DVD and Muppet forums for updates they said that acquiring rights had made it not worthwhile to continue the series. I just looked at Wikipedia to assist my memory and I see that half a dozen songs were cut from shows in the first season DVD set. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
