Okay I might buy this it depends if I have money.

Kelly Osbourne's cameo must be part of the extended cut, as I don't remember her being on ABC. A Quentin interview? The rest sound pretty cool, though. I'll get this at some point, if not when it comes out.

If it's Pepe interviewing him, then it's certainly appropriate. After all, who else sprinkles every sentence with the word "okay"?!

It was so-so. I don't need to buy it!

This was a cute movie, though I'm not sure if I'll buy it. The fact that it's over 20 mintues longer than the broadcast version is certainly tempting, though, and may just make it a better film.

I don't know. My roommate will get it so I may watch hers and she can watch my season one of The Muppet Show that I'll be getting. I still haven't seen it.

I'm still not thrilled it stars Ashanti. I usually call her a Beyonce rip-off.

I like the Muppets but I honestly did not find this movie interesting especially Ashanti's performance, she is NOT a good actress..I will not be buying this DVD.

i don't know about this one, i might just want to watch it first

who has seen this movie????? i really want to know how this movie is before i buy it.

I Saw The Movie, Ill Probably Get It Along With The Muppet Show: Season 1.

They are two completely different artists. Theire music sounds different, their voices are different, and they appeal to different markets.

It was a good movie and I'll be buying this.

TVGuide.com has an interview with the now-apparently brunette Miss Piggy. She talks a little bit about the two upcoming Muppets DVDs too: http://www.tvguide.com/news/insider/050624a.asp

Thanks For The Link.

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before but I tried searching and didn't find much but about the DVD...

But is The Muppet Wizard Of Oz any good!? I missed it when it came on TV and I was wondering if it was worth picking up the DVD when it comes out!?
