I’ve found myself in an emotional slump lately and I’ve now found myself watching anything Muppets or Jim Henson because it is so comforting. Can’t believe I didn’t enjoy this as a child but it’s never too late!

It's true what he says about people not caring about the puppeteer. I was standing on Columbus Ave , near my apartment, when a muppet came down the sidewalk, carried by a man I knew was Jim. The muppet said hello and I got into a conversation with it. I never paid any attention to Jim. The muppet had so much personality that it was real to me, so I just talked with it. Then they moved on down the street, talking to people as it passed. I will never forget it. I loved it .

For reasons that are unknown, my grandmother taped this special when it originally aired and gave it to me as a Christmas present. I still have it and have probably watched it 30 times. I quote parts from time to time. I have now gone on to be a professional artist, and I've even done puppetry as part of my job. MUCH was influenced by what I learned on this special. I even got to work on a theater project with someone who worked for Jim Henson Productions once! Thanks Grandma. I don't know what prompted your foresight, but it made an impact

I have a cool story about meeting a bearded man a while back in New York . I was hired to work in a Jewish deli on Madison Avenue at 65th Street in Manhattan part time at night with two individual who purpose in life was to be evil . They were rude sold hard drugs and was stealing cash from the store register every night . They even had the deli owner son the one who hired me hook on that garbage . It became a real snake pit . One dark lonely cold winter night I was in the back of the store and I heard a loud crash . I went to investigate what's causing the commotion and see a man bent over trying to clean up the mess he made . He drop a cup of yogurt .I told him don't worry I got this I will clean this up . When the man stood up I instantly said to myself this man is not a ordinary man there was something special about him . Something you do not see everyday . He was a tall bearded man in a long black overcoat . I recognize him it was Jim henson creator of the muppets . I immediately sense a humble wise old fashioned man . So I asked him how is Kermit the Frog . At first he look surprised that I recognize him then his face lit up with a big smile .I told him that I was a fan of his work . I ask him about a movie he made called THE DARK CRYSTAL . I told him the movie was very weird and dark . We also talk about Frank oz who did some of the character voices in the flim . You may know him as the voice of miss piggy . The way he described him and his work you could tell they were good friend .The conversation ended went I was call away. I told him it was a pleasure to meet him . What I got from this encounter is he was a genuine individual a kind smart man .Definitely a people person . It was like a holy experience . He left me with a good impression . Many dark days past . I felt confined in this box so it was time to move on . I wanted to work freelance so I became a trusted new york city messenger that took me to a location in lower Manhattan across the plaza from the World Trade Center and many part of the city and beyond . 😃

When I was working with Jim Henson on Sesame Street, I did bits with Ernie. And then Telly in Hooper's Store. My only regret was I didn't go on The Muppet Show or any Muppet films. I love the the crossover between the Muppets and Sesame Street gang like Bert with Connie Stevens. I was sad to see Jim Henson die but there's one thing that the Muppets did the tribute on was to bring the memory of him alive in our hearts forever. And that is , if just one person believes you and more believes in him makes us a family.

The very first time we see Jim in this when he's talking about how people focus on the puppet even if the puppeteer is visible... 100% yes. Adults & kids. I experienced this magic first hand when I was student teaching & had a one-on-one moment with a kind on the spectrum who mostly only spoke when he was having an episode & screaming. I grabbed a puppet and talked to him through the puppet and had a whole conversation about his family with him. I didn't act overly silly or try to be funny, just a gentle voice that let him know I was there, listening and supporting him. I still remember that moment & watching the shift he went through from angry and screaming to calm and talking to me. It was amazing.

Then early on Ralph the dog was on the Jimmy Dean Show on tv. Jimmy and Ralph had about a five minute set with each other each show. And sometimes Ralph would sing or chat with some of the guests. I wasn't very old at the time, and really enjoyed the whole show, but Ralph was a special part for me.

Jim Henson 1936 - 1990 Jim Henson was one of the most famous puppeteers, film maker and artist of the 20th century. He quite simply revolutionised puppetry in a way that nobody had ever done before. He designed puppets in such a way that the whole face really appeared to be talking to the audience. He designed the eyes in way to force the audience to focus solely on the puppet, as though the entire face filled the screen. To begin with, Henson was not interested in puppetry as an art form per say. He was primarily interested in television. He used puppetry as a vehicle for getting into the television industry. Henson began his career in the 50s with a 5 minute puppet show for adults that aired at 11.25 at night, entitled Sam's Friends. His team became known for making commercials for products such as dog food. In 1969, he was recruited by a children's television workshop to become a key innovator in the development of a program called Sesame Street. The aim of the program was to combine education with entertainment using a combination of of human performers and muppets and short animations as a vehicle for teaching children basic literacy and numeracy skills. In addition to spacial awareness, social skills and issues that would affect them in everyday life. In 1976 Henson and his team went on to produce The Muppets Show in London which became the most popular tv show in the world at the time. Characters like Kermit the frog, Ms. Piggy, Sandy Evil, Beaker, Fuzzy Bear, Gonzo and many more quickly became household names. The show also featured wide variety of human guest stars prominent in show business at the time. Everyone from Spike Milligan to Leo Sawyer appeared on the show. It ran until 1981. In the early 80's Henson moved on to film to create masterpieces such as The Dark Crystal 1982 and Labyrinth 1986. They were spectacular works of art that combined comedy, artistry and story telling in a unique cinematic fashion that few had witnessed before. Initially they were not well received by the critics I believe this was because Henson had previously been pigeon holed into being a children's performer simply because he was a puppeteer and they did not know how to interpret such films. To me Henson was not just a children's performer, he was an artist, a storyteller, craftsman and philosopher who never had enough time to complete his work as demonstrated by his experimental film Timepiece which was nominated for an Oscar in 1965. Henson was also interested in folk tales and bringing those folk tales to a wider audience, which came through in one of his final projects before his death. The Storyteller which was hosted by a veteran actor John Hurt of Elephant Man. Henson's gentle message was peace and harmony in the world and a dream that encompass singing and dancing and making people happy, that's a quote from The Muppet Movie 1979. He commented on racial harmony through the voice of Kermit the frog in the song, Being Green, and environmental issues through the series, Freckle Rock 1983-1987, and above all use his muppets as a metaphor for the way he believed people should live their lives. His family continue his legacy with dignity and grace. My purpose in writing this was not to lement about my childhood but to try and get people to understand the complexity and beauty of Jim Henson as a performing artist. This is not to dismiss the vital contribution of people like Frank Oz R.I.P Mr. Henson.

What a wonderful man. His work is truly inspiring, i've always loved puppets / muppets. I'm training to be a teacher right now and i'd love to incorporate puppetry into my work, it's such a beautiful and fun way to teach children about the world. I'm not sure how i'm going to go about it but i'm totally going to attempt to make my own puppet, a little class mascot character (Probably a baby Axolotl, i'm going to use him to teach sign language / Makaton. ) This was such an interesting video. Really wonderful, just like the man himself!

Not seen this since my dad taped it off the tv when I was a baby for me to watch. Came in half way thru the "they look at the frog not the beard guy" henson interview. The man was a legend. Part of the creative God Tier

This just appeared in my timeline today,12/26/20. This man shaped my childhood as he did for so many others. I even bought the entire Muppet Show collection. Rest easy Mr. Henson. You are still missed..😢😔

Whatever his goals were, he accomplished an immeasurable value in attracting children to LEARNING. I used to watch Sesamy Street with my kids and his characters had such a powerful affect, i attribute their academic success to watching this program, almost religiously. It was amazing how he managed to weave together academic skills with high moral values and still entertained all the parents as well. Sesamy Street is the best thing in Television history. Henson was a genius that made the show colorful and unmatched in its quality. His legacy is the shining success of the millions of kids that saw his work. Fifty three years old..they say the most beautiful of flowers, often bloom for the shortest time. He was a national treasure.

Thank you so much! I had this taped off the TV when I was little, and watched it until it wore out. Although I think there's a little chunk missing about Labyrinth, I'm so glad I can watch this again!!

He left us too soon but not without impact. I feel blessed to have the chance of watching most of his movies and loved them. The things kids these days miss so much but don’t even bother.

I watched most of the “storyteller hour” on video about 30+ years ago. They were a genuine effort to bring new meaning to fairytales. I think they were truly remarkable and hope that one day they will be re-mastered and reproduced. These are worth keeping for posterity!

I remember watching this show and admiring how Mr. Henson’s normal speaking voice kept making me think of Kermit and other Muppet characters he voiced. I miss him and the magic the Muppets had while he was still alive.
