John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together

One of the most memorable and enjoyable Christmas specials of its era. I remember it fondly and would love to have it on DVD so that I could watch it again.

This 1979 special has John Denver and his not-quite-mop/not-quite-puppet friends sing a selection of Xmas songs amid a series of brief sketches. It's mostly musical, with a thin story stringing the songs together, but it works for the most part.

For me too, this Christmas special is one that I remember very fondly. In 1989, I snatched up the 2 CDs I found of the soundtrack recording, giving one to my sister and keeping the other for myself.

I play my album every year, and remember fondly watching this on TV. Don't be such a Grinch!

Can anyone else believe (or not) that it was 40 years ago on this day that this special originally aired? At that point in time television was much newer to the mainstream of the world than it is today and John Denver probably captivated a lot of viewers the way he created the illusion of a man conversing with living puppets.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME.

I am a huge John Denver fan. I have a large collection of his music on vinyl.

I wish that they would release this on DVD too. It was such a great show.

I was reviewing some old VHS tapes I have and came across The TV show John Denver & The Muppets A Christmas Together.This made me go to my computer and look it up to see if I could find a DVD version of this show to buy.
