Best copy with commercials on archive.org | |
7 | 55:14 | A Muppet Family Christmas (Original 1987 Broadcast w/ commercials!) | https://youtu.be/fFqan3_zvuA | Visual quality is a bit worse than the one listed above, but does appear to be an original 1987 airing, and nothing is cut out of it. Best copy with commericals on YouTube. | |
8 | 48:20 | A Muppet Family Christmas (1987 version restored by Alex Taylor) | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+(1987+version+restored+by+Alex+Taylor).mkv | Nothing cut out, with slightly improved visuals. Most complete version without commericals on archive.org | |
9 | 50:06 | A Muppet Family Christmas - 20th Anniversary Edition (Tv Version 1987 Original Airing) | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+-+20th+Anniversary+Edition+(Tv+Version+1987+Original+Airing).mkv | Starts off with an introduction by Michael Eisner and Kermit the Frog. Nothing is cut out of this version except for the commercials. Complete version without commercials. | |
10 | 47:59 | Muppets Family Christmas HD Version Jim Henson Sesame Street Fraggle Rock Muppet Babies | https://youtu.be/3zi68pvazxI | Has been slightly upscaled, but it's not extremely noticable. Nothing is cut out, but it seems to be a fan edit because of the varying visual quality. Best complete version without commercials on YouTube. | |
11 | 47:51 | A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) - Full Special | https://youtu.be/Bi9qSKZuvC4 | Some audio and visual issues. More consistent visual quality than the 47:59 youtube version above, but the overall quality is slightly worse. Complete version without commercials. | |
12 | 57:08 | A Muppet Family Christmas - Original 1987 Broadcast w/ Commercials | https://youtu.be/2qKtdmfTT9Y | Nothing is cut out of it. It is actually from a 1988 broadcast and contains only left channel audio. | |
13 | 56:51 | A Muppet Family Christmas (w original commercials) | https://youtu.be/Nyrk0wTpU_8 | A bit oversatured and not fantastic visual quality, but nothing is cut out of it. Some of the commercials have been reinserted in editing, so it is not an exactly-as-aired recording, and the audio quality on the commercials is all over the place. | |
14 | 47:26 | A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) (1080p Upscale) | https://youtu.be/3gAniAEQrak | Noticeable upscaling, which could look great to some people and awful to others, depending on how you feel about upscaling. It is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. | |
15 | 47:37 | VTS_01_1.mp4 & VTS_01_2.mp4 | https://archive.org/details/muppet-family-christmas-the-christmas-toy/MUPPETCHRISTMAST/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB | One of the best looking versions, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. | |
16 | 47:37 | A Muppet Family Christmas (1989 edit) | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+(1989+edit).mkv | Seems the same as the above version, but maybe looks slightly worse. It is however slightly more convenient to watch because it's all in one clip. It is also missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. | |
17 | 47:29 | A Muppet Family Christmas (2003 OOP PAL UK DVD) | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+(2003+OOP+PAL+UK+DVD).mkv | Visual quality is pretty good across the board, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. | |
18 | 47:30 | A Muppet Family Christmas ππ€Άπ―οΈ | https://youtu.be/ZceU_j1Szaw | Visual quality isn't too bad, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. | |
19 | 47:50 | A Muppet Family Christmas.ia | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas_202202 | Visual quality is pretty terrible. Audio quality is also not great, but it is a complete version with nothing cut out. There are better options on archive.org | |
20 | 58:54 | Muppet Family Christmas Original ABC 7 airing 1987 All songs, original ads | https://youtu.be/YOtHvFYgq6c | Pretty rough in terms of visual quality, but nothing is cut out of it. It does seem to be a 1988 airing, and not an original 1987 airing, based on the commercials that are shown. | |
21 | 47:29 | A Muppet Family Christmas - 2002 Portugal DVD - 1989 Edit | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+-+2002+Portugal+DVD+-+1989+Edit.mkv | Visual quality isn't too bad, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. One of the lesser archive.org options. | |
22 | 59:57 | A Muppet Family Christmas [1987] | https://youtu.be/pZ5ZTlzi_Tk | Recorded from YTV in 2000. Not the original 1987 commercials, but could be nostalgic for people who were young in 2000. A couple of really small things are cut out, including Elmo and Fozzie lighting the tree and Fozzie and his mom hanging their stockings. None of the musical numbers are cut. | |
23 | 53:34 | Muppet Family Christmas Movie | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvT5CHwTRno | Appears to be a fan edit as the visual quality is all over the place. It is complete, but it also has an annoying Kinemaster logo on it the whole time and has an odd mix of Barney, Wiggles, and Bob the Builder commercials at the beginning. | |
24 | 46:35 | Muppet Family Xmas 1987 | https://youtu.be/Xd2TQjuQkN8 | From a mid-90s VHS release, features the original VHS ads at the beginning. This one has many things cut out. | |
25 | 42:22 | A Muppet Family Christmas (Best Quality) | https://youtu.be/tyiaS-WwGSk | This one has many things cut out. | |
26 | 42:09 | A Muppet Family Christmas 1987 DVDRiP | https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas-1987-dvdrip-xvi-d-ac3 | This one has many things cut out. | |
