Bravo!!!! Younger people just don't have the memories that we who were around do. It was so different. Many of us almost never went out for a regular daily meal or even for the evening. Instead, we might fix some popcorn or other simple treats, turn on the television, and the entire family would sit around and be entertained by absolutely legendary musicians, singers, actors, comedians, etc., through the various programs available. It's actually almost overwhelming to look back and realize in many cases we were watching and hearing some of the very best in their fields...maybe ever!!!!!

This is amazing! For those of you educated and childish people poking fun, saying the puppeteer should be fired, or saying intellectually thrilling things like “this is stupid”, then, clearly, this form of art and entertainment wasn’t designed for you. As for the comment that adults shouldn’t be laughing at the marionette, let me inform you that the use of marionettes for entertainment (of all groups) goes back to around 2,000 years BC. Go get yourself an education. This is talent at its finest.
