The Muppet albums are listed with various names as the artists: The Muppets, The Muppet Show or Various Artists. Should these be combined as Various Artists ? On the record labels there is only one entry [the Greek one] that actually lists "The Muppets" as an actual artist.

It would be useful to have them grouped together, i.e. with either The Muppets or The Muppet Show as the main artist (the two can be linked together, along with any similar variants if there are any).
This is a case where I would argue we don't need to go down the "Various Artists" route. They would look good grouped together.

I think they should all be under "The Muppet Show" with any search for "The Muppets" redirected there.
We would list them as whichever was shown on the release I think, and have perhaps "The Muppets" as the master version (i.e. everything would show in that discography) with "The Muppet Show" linking back via a "See The Muppets... ..."
I'll have a look at this later unless a fellow Mod wishes to jump in first (feel free).

If I may add my two cents, I would go with "The Muppets" as artists, since "The Muppet Show" doesn't take into account the movie soundtracks, of which there are I believe about five

I would also go with "The Muppets" since "The Muppet Show" was just that particular series name. Disney refer to them as "The Muppets" whenever they talk about any upcoming projects for them, so that seems to be the logical choice.
