Product reviews...
OK, I'm showing my age a bit here, but I can still recall many of the Muppet Shows with fond memories. It was great to relive some old memories, and be reminded of some of the episodes that I had missed seeing all those years ago.
The pack contains four DVDs, each with around 6 episodes each, though some have more and some less... to make room for the extras etc. My favourite episodes were those that had skits involving the Swedish Chef... my all-time favourite character, and the episode with Vincent Price as the special guest, which originally screened in 1976... of course, it wasn't my favourite episode back then, but became my favourite after I saw some of his other movies in later years.
Overall, if you have ever enjoyed The Muppet Show, or you just want to relive some wonderful memories from your younger years, then this is a wonderful addition to your collection. If you are not sure what the story is regarding The Muppet Show, then you would be well advised to go out and buy this and see what you have been missing.
Random listing from 'Entertainment'...
Semi-retired policeman Henry Crabbe (Richard Griffiths) would rather be cooking than catching criminals.
Unluckily for him, he happens to be good at both. His boss, Assistant Chief Constable Fisher (Malcolm Sinclair) doesn't want to lose him, and his accountant wife, Margaret (Maggie Steed), worries his new career as a restaurateur won't be financially viable.
While indulging his culinary passions, Crabbe remains on call for those particularly tricky cases that Fisher sends his way. Larger than life as he is, sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough of Crabbe to go around.
