It's the Muppets!: Meet the Muppets! is a compilation video of some of the best clips from The Muppet Show, released by Jim Henson Video in 1993. A similar video, More Muppets, Please!, was also released simultaneously.

Unlike The Muppet Show compilations from Playhouse Video, these videos don't have any guest star clips or any new footage.

The UK release of this video has more sketches than the American release.
