Special with John Denver and Muppets is not on DVD
You have questions. I have some answers.
Question: With Christmas rapidly approaching, I was wondering if there was a DVD for the “John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together” special. The music is on CD.
Answer: I do not know of an authorized release on DVD or any home-video format of the 1979 special, which suggests there is a problem clearing rights to material in it. I have seen bootlegs for sale, but I don’t recommend unauthorized releases because you can never be sure about either the quality or the vendor. If you just want to see it again, someone posted it on YouTube, although the sound was scratchy in the version I watched.
And I am trying not to think of Christmas “rapidly approaching” in October — regardless of what retailers are already selling.
Q: I was wondering what happened to “Amazing Race” this fall season. Will it be back?
A: Yes. CBS has ordered another round of the series to air sometime in 2016-17, and the new season was in production during summer. But the network has not yet set an airdate.
