Region: 1

The Best of the Muppet Show was a line of videos and DVDs available through Time-Life Video. Time-Life originally released 6 videos, and then 9 more videos were released. The first ten were soon released on DVD, and the remaining 5 videos were released on DVD in 2002.

Each video and DVD in the series (each sold separately) contained 3 select episodes from The Muppet Show. The episodes included the UK Skits, however the season 1 opening sequence was replaced on the season 1 episodes with the syndication reworked "season 2" opening. Each episode included a brief introduction by Brian Henson, and each disc included bonus interstitials and an original concept drawing. On the main menu, there was a picture of Animal, which could be highlighted, leading to a hidden feature, which was a fact about the show, usually relating to one of the episodes included.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of The Muppet Show in 2002, Columbia began re-releasing the series in stores. At that time Time-Life had only 10 volumes available; they released another 5 a short time later. Columbia initially announced that they would reissue the entire Time-Life series and add an additional 5 volumes, for a total of 20 [1], but they had only released volumes 1-5 and 7-8 before the sale of the Muppets to the Walt Disney Company in 2004 terminated their distribution contract.
