Amazon.com:
Diana Ross, Brooke Shields, and Rudolph Nureyev dance, sing, and banter in this trio of episodes from television's The Muppet Show (1976-1981). Dressed as a diva, the star of soul joins Kermit in a 'live' variety show to a tough crowd of Muppets. When Ross is not giggling at the good-natured Fozzie or those mellow crooners, the Gills Brothers, she belts out a couple of familiar songs, including 'Love Hangover.' In the second installment, Brooke Shields, 15, plays Alice, in a thematic show based on Alice in Wonderland. Shields is paired with Miss Piggy as Queen, who is outraged at her only line, 'Off with her head!' The highlight is a Muppets rendition of Jabberwocky, hilariously offbeat and imaginative. Finally, ballet superstar Rudolph Nureyev lends his talent and self-deprecating style to a variety-show format, fending off the flirtations of Miss Piggy. In a truly Muppets moment, Nureyev dances with Piggy to 'Swine Lake,' or, rather, avoids being knocked down by the imposing porker. Raucous fun. (Ages 5 and older) --Lynn Gibson

Rating:  - Too Slow!
I ordered this DVD over a month ago and have NOT received it. I contacted the seller and I was told I needed to wait longer. I am NOT happy with this service this slow.
Rating: - The Best of the Muppet Show
Dear Sir or Madam,
I cannot comment on this CD, since the CD I received was defective, and I sent it back to the seller.
Rating:  - Episodes to make you say, "Huh?"
While "weird" is the natural domain of the Muppets, this set of episodes is weird even for them. That isn't exactly a good thing, either. The Diana Ross episode seems dated and thin (like Ross herself), and its major running gag is weak. The Brooke Shields episode is more palatable; personally, I was glad to see my long held conviction that Dr. Teeth is the Cheshire Cat finally vindicated. Even here there are some uneven bits, but this second episde of the set is the best of the three. The Nureyev ... Read More
Rating:  - Classic Take of What the Muppets Do Best.
This 3-episode collection of THE MUPPET SHOW contains the episodes that guest-starred Diana Ross, Brooke Shields, and world famous ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev.
In the Diana Ross episode, the running gag is that the Muppet Theatre is jammed packed with Diana Ross fans who love everything Diana does, but hate everyone else and boo them off the stage. Waldorf and Statler decide to rate everything done on stage: Diana gets 10s and the Muppets can't seem to get a score higher than a 3. The ... Read More
Rating: - Not the best
I would rate the two out of the three episodes as rather weak. The saving graces were the Rudolf Nureyev episode, Vets Hospital, and Statler and Waldorf rating the Muppets performances.
