 | Hi
I am back from a short weekend trip, and found this in my in-box.

Did I miss that DVD 2 years ago? Does someone here already have it? The price is a little bit over the top yeah.
I know, the original show was broadcasted on HBO or somewhere and was widely available on dime, but the DVD is said to have the complete clips of all songs. (??)
So, is this new?

 | I haven´t heard of it before Bodo,but I´m going to get it,despite the price I think. The version of 59th Street Bridge Song from the Muppets,must be an outtake. wasn´t in the original airing was it? |

| Ian, so you also understand that this DVD version is different to the TV broadcast?
The Muppet clip was in the broadcast. I do not have the feeling the DVD is different. ... |

| hm, no ...what I remember this was just the muppets singin the song alone.
Ian, I can not see if there is anything different on this DVD to the televison broadcast. There are only songs missing: the George Harrison part, and the Miriam Makeba song - and I guess that might have been because of the dime rules. (both clips have been released official before) |

 | Kinda weird they´re looking for 100 for the essential Ps and 150 for the lyrics. Is this for a charity - I´d stay clear of it until there is confirmation |

| Release date is May 2009. So we have to wait a little bit.
But you get it in 5.1 surround sound, so it is really an update to the already circulating copies from the TV broadcast |

| The Gershwin Show is being presented this year as part of many Public Broadcast System´s (PBS) stations as their annual fundraisers. People pledge amounts for membership and get a gift.Sometimes the stations add some really unique items depending on your pledge.This is our "Educational" tv station in the US strictly supported by foundations and members. |

| Thanks Bodo,certainly at that price difference I will be waiting till May 9 to get my copy. As you said,having it in 5.1 surround and superior picture quality too,I´d imagine,would make it a worthwhile purchase. |

 | I just preordered, and got lots of warnings that it will play on Region 1 (USA, Canada) players only, and NTSC format equipment, so you will need a modified player and a suitable TV! |

| I can´t imagine that this will be a region 1,NTSC only release. Wouldn´t it ultimately be available in both formats and various codes,like nearly any other DVD release? |
