Been watching Muppet Show DVDs with the kids. The episode with Vincent Price was not as I remembered it. I clearly remember him transforming into Guy Lombardo during a skit, and closing the show with "You've Got a Friend." Yet, on the DVD, he transforms into Jack Parnell, and there is no big music number.

Happily, this is 2010, and Muppet Wiki site informs me that my memories were correct. The name "Jack Parnell" was dubbed over "Guy Lombardo", and the musical number was cut.

So, you're not totally insane. Yet.

Well, it is a Wiki. I may have just edited it to fit with my own reality!

Kate's ranted about this edit to me in the past - she takes her Vincent Price very seriously. I believe the uncut version is on YouTube somewhere.

There have been a handful of edits on the Muppet DVD releases. They're also taking a long time for each season which, from what little I've gleaned, is because of legal rights nightmares. Yeeha. :P

It was cut out because it was considered too scary for children.

...hm I don't have a Vincent Price icon, this is madness!

Allo!

Too scary? What about the episode where Alice Cooper tries to buy Kermit's soul?

I am SO making my Vincent Price/Clone Wars icon tonight.
