My two favorite muppets of all time are Statler and Waldorf (the two old guys is the theature box).
They used to have a web show called "Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony." It was a great show! It even won a webby!!! Sadly not only did they cancel the show they took down all the old episodes
I have searched all the search engines I can think of and have found nothing. If anyone out there can lead me to the old episodes of "Stalter and Waldorf From the Balcony" it would mean alot to me.

It isn't working for me, but maybe that's because I'm in The Netherlands. I hope you have more luck:

I think you need QuickTime Pro to make it work. And of corse QuickTime Pro cost over $20

It used to be available on iTunes for free as a podcast. You should search and see if you can still download them there.
Not on iTunes anymore

Perhaps it was a copyright issue? From what I remember of the show, it was mostly their own film reviews, sort of like Ebert & Ropert at the Movies. I bet they had limited contracts with studios of how long the video with their content in it could be available.

Well, I believe we're talking before disney purchased teh Muppets. Also, Movies.com was absorbed by Fandango. Maybe that had something to do with it.
The Disney corperation purchased the muppets in 1990

Just as a clairical note Disney purchased the mupppets the same year Jim Henson died, which was the year 1990. In Statler and Waldorf From the Balcony Statler and Waldorf review movies from 2005-2006.

Disney didn't buy the Muppets the same year Jim Henson died. They bought them in 2004.
Originally Disney was going to buy the Jim Henson Company, but the deal fell through due to Jim Henson's death.

Yeah. Disney had a distribution deal for home video for some Muppets properties in the 90's, including the first two Muppet Movies and some of the TV specials. During that time, Disney produced their two Muppet films in conjunction with Jim Henson Studios. Disney then lost the rights to all non-Disney produced Muppets films and Sony got distribution rights. Disney regained those rights in 2004 when they officially purchased the Muppets from Jim Henson Studios.
