The Jim Henson Hour 10 Secrets of the Muppets

[@cyberdragonessmaster]

The weird part is even though I'm seeing the actors and the Muppets together it doesn't take away any of the magic it just like watching two performers doing and act together its just like Jim said "the fantasy always wins"

[@johnnymanize]

There’s some truth to that statement. In fact, I believe it was Steve Whitmire that said when you see the puppeteer and their puppet together, you hardly even see the puppeteer, because you’re mainly looking at the puppet. And from my experience, I found him to be right

[@daltysmilth]

That was one of the great things about Jim. He knew that seeing how the magic is created wouldn’t diminish the audience’s enjoyment of it. If anything, it would give them even greater appreciation of when the tricks are expertly performed.

[@gvivo2120]

Jim Henson's work is a stroke of genius. These muppets have charmed millions for their innocence and humor. Here, the nostalgia is deep and as a child, I recall valuing the Jim Henson's Hour as gold.

[@nigelmurphy6761]

That man was and is an absolutely genius. The fact that his creations are still as popular now all these years later after his untimely passing is a true testimony to his absolute creative genius. Thanks Jim.

[@marthagilbert3459]

I've been watching Jim Henson shows and movies since I was little; the first Jim Henson show I saw was Bear in the Big Blue House, and I've liked puppet shows ever since.

[@topherholland4646]

My dad got me into the Muppets with about 30 episodes of The Muppet Show(1976-1981). I always loved the Muppets, and Jim Henson died way too soon.

It’s sad that Jim Henson died so soon after this episode. I often wondered, maybe he knew he didn’t have much longer to live and wanted to do something like this.

[@lalabirdbrains]

I think he did know. This was an odd episode

[@newstarcadefan]

I remember seeing this on Nickelodeon's Special Delivery back in the day. It's a shame it was so short-lived, and Jim Henson ended up passing not long after.

[@caitlinbrown7727]

Same. I think it was on something like Mega Muppet Monday on Nick? I had it taped and watched it so much I still have most of this special memorized 25 years later

Actually, this episode aired posthumously for Jim Henson. He died two years before it was shown.

I wonder, if there ever been an occurance when Jim Henson, Bob Ross and Fred Rogers found themselves together in one room - at some perty, perhaps, or during a TV interview or whatever? I think the universe would collapse from the wholesomeness of that, so I guess that means that never happened.

Ah yes, The Muppets, Fraggle Rock, The Storyteller, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal.......loved these as a kid, and even though I'm almost 40 now.......I still do. Henson was a genius IMO. He made his shows intelligent, he didn't "talk down" to kids like they were idiots. Gerry Anderson of "Thunderbirds" and "Terrahawks" fame was the same, his shows were intelligent too.

Nya, I have the same opinion. There are very good puppeteers in Japan, so it's not unreasonable to think that he would have done a collaboration that resulted in a show half between puppet show and anime. Maybe he would also have done a show based on bunraku, the traditional japanese puppets.
