I won the first season box set from CHUD a while back, and I've been waiting for Season 2 ever since.

Finally. My daughters love the first set and I'm about ready to throw-up every time I see Joel Grey or Valerie Harper.

I'm wondering if Disney ponied up for a higher percentage of the music rights on this set, so there aren't glaring omissions like in Season 1. Not like they couldn't afford it.

Several songs/skits were left off of the season one DVD sets, most likely due to licensing issues for song rights, with the exception of a line from the Muppet Pitch Reel. They include:

Joel Grey - "Wayne & Wanda", "Muppet News"
Jim Nabors - "Gone With The Wind", "Danceros"
Paul Williams - "All of Me"
Charles Aznavour - "Dance The Old fashioned Way"
Vincent Price - "You've Got A Friend" (this really bothered me)
"Pitch Reel" - Kermit saying "What the hell was that?"

God, at last! Is it going to take another 2+ years to release each subsequent season though?
