Funny seeing you here. I really do enjoy seeing your comments, as it shows that some people really do take time out of their day to use KZbin as a form of entertainment, even when they have a successful channel of their own. It’s not often you see bigger channels watching similar things as you, but it’s always comforting when it happens. It reminds you that they’re legitimate people, y’know?

"I was with Jimmy Dean but nobody remembers me anymore" That is really a sad line, especially since it has been said that Rowlf was more of a reflection of the real Henson than Kermit. Henson had many great successes and was by no means in the realm of "defunct"; but it is remarkable to consider what more he could have achieved had others had more open minds, and had his own creative instincts been a bit more disciplined. There is much cause for celebration, but also for some melancholy.

Amazingly, psychologists told SS that the muppets and live actors should *not* interact! However, when SS measured children's reactions to the show, they noticed that children watched more when the live actors and muppets interacted.

Also, in the beginning it did say that Ganz Cooney was creating provocative programs during the Civil Rights era, so it hinted at that already, but as said in the paragraph above, leaving enough room for you to dig into history on your own

honestly . . . . this whole story makes me have a whole lot more respect for the movie Happytime Murders. once you understand how badly Jim Henson wanted to break out of the kids programming thing bubble he'd been forced into, the idea of his son directing an adult oriented puppet film seems a lot more apt.

That said, having a back catalog of quality content is always a good way to build a resume, and this series is one of the best documentaries I've watched in a long time!

I think the reason the Muppets work so well is because their humor can be applied for all audiences. While it is targeted at toddlers, what adult doesn’t get a chuckle out of some of Sesame Street’s movie and TV parodies? Admit it folks, Grover in Game of Thrones was hilarious! Heck, I remember watching The Muppet Show when I was younger and laughing just as hard now. Younger viewers can enjoy the charm and chemistry of the colorful characters while mature watchers can appreciate their witty delivery for phenomenal punchlines. That, and everyone loves explosions. It’s why I thought that last ABC Muppet series didn’t work. It tried to hard to be adult and it showed in the final product. Meanwhile shows like The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, and especially Sesame Street are still fondly remembered today. Seriously, it’s been 50 years, how do we get to Sesame Street already!? AND WHAT’S THE NAME OF THAT SONG!?!

That opening sponsor ad was just about the best and most-subject-appropriate ad I've ever seen on a youtube video. Fantastic work!

Wow, even Michael Eisner has his hands on the Muppets even before he ran Disney and would later buy the Muppets, except the Sesame Street properties.

kory stephens they barely made the Muppets as popular, Disney has made some hits, but those Muppet movies and especially The Muppets reboot wasn’t that great.

@bigevilworldwide1 the Muppets 2011 wasn’t that memorable, the story felt contrived, the save the theater plot. Also Fraggle Rock is owned by HBO and Brian Henson. Disney could only own the Muppets IP, productions like Sesame Street was owned and produced by Sesame Workshop and PBS.

bigevilworldwide1 Sesame Street and its characters are owned by Sesame Workshop (not PBS), and Fraggle Rock is still wholly owned by the Jim Henson Company.

Your videos are so brilliantly done that at first i thought your sponsor segment was an old tv commercial. You deserve your own show on pbs or something similar. I'd definitely tune it every episode like I do here.

Pittsburgh Line Railfan Susie sells seashells by the seashore. Said Susie: “I need a site so I can sell shells from sea to sea!” So Susie used Squarespace and made a site that was simply spectacular! And if you use Squarespace, and say the secret word, you can save some serious sterling! Squarespace sure is a splendid sponsor!

This Series is amazing. This is hands down the single Best Jim Henson/Muppets Docuseries I've ever seen....and take that from a Fan of Jim since I was a child in 1981.

Just finished your one for the Disney Channel theme music where you ponder about being a documentarian versus a content creator. I immediately thought of this series. There are some heavy parallels I think between you and Jim with the embrace of where the culture is trending to while minting certain ethics and morals. Now back to arguably the best Henson career biography
