WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Jim Henson's legendary 'variety' show, made with a cast of randy pigs, U-bend nosed weirdoes and hairy-faced mentalists with drumsticks.

ANY GOOD? Amazingly not dated at all. In fact, it's matured. Like blue, veiny cheese. Without the vomit smells! Yum.

BEST BITS: The Judges' heckling of harebrained comic Fozzie Bear, Vincent Price's cameo appearance and Miss Piggy duffing up the flirty Kermit. It's female domination in puppet form!

KEY OBSERVATION: Animal talks like Arnold Schwarzennegger.

EXTRAS: Pilot show, plus gag and pitch reels hook up with all 24 episodes. Across four discs. Bargain.
