Dude was so ahead of his time. The editing feels like something out of adult swim.

…..Your right it does!

23:56 Jim created The Storyteller so he can mashup Labrynth and The Dark Crystal with that era's music videos on MTV and VH1.

It’s almost like Jack and the Beanstalk:The Real Story. Also it’s nice to hear The Horned King being a storyteller.

11:17 That was a straight up muppet Andorian in the audience! As well as the rock monster alien from "The Savage Curtain"!

Love the Extremes! It's like Hanna Barbera meets Ratfink! Wish they used them more

Jim wanted to mashup the Muppet Show with The Storyteller but it didn't work

[@sweetjoey2]

Better than what Disney has done with star wars and Muppets 😮

[@jessyleppert2]

@@sweetjoey2 yes

[@sam4metroid]

Personally, I love it. Mixing his "cute" puppets with his more realistic, fantastical animatronics is really interesting!

[@yosefdemby8792]

He wanted the schedule for the series to follow like this: the first week would have hour-long episodes of The Storyteller, the next week would have the MuppeTelevision sketches, the third week would have specials akin to _Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas_ and _The Tale of the Bunny Picnic_, and the fourth week would have various hour-long specials. It was NBC who requested the overall split format seen in episodes like this one.

Great. Thanks

[@sweetjoey2]

I loved this then and still do
