The
Vision of Jim Henson
 
Brian
Knatchbull (5-3-98) - Well the special I mentioned for
all Canadian Muppet fans to watch on BRAVO here in Canada was on this
morning and it was a great behind-the-scenes half hour.
The program
called "National Arts" is a production of Northern Virginia
Public Television, WNVT-TV Falls Church, Va. It was produced in 1997 and
it was about the exhibit titled 'The Muppets Take Maryland -Vision of
Jim Henson' at the University of Maryland which Jim Henson was an alumni
of. It also contained the look of another exhibit there from the Public
Television archives that had a lot of interesting things on Jim's involvement
with Sesame Street. The special contained too many things to list here
like many storyboards and artwork by Jim, many of the creatures from Jim
Henson's Creature Shop and how they were performed and also contained
nice interviews with Jane Henson, Cheryl Henson and Larry Grossman the
"Muppet Show" composer who also worked with Jim on Muppet*Vision
3D. I hope those that were able to see it could and hopefully those in
the U.S. will see it pop up sometime on your airwaves. It is a must have
for your Muppet collection.

- This special aired on the US Bravo channel several months ago. I hope
it will repeat again sometime for other US viewers. It was pretty interesting,
but a lot of time was spent interviewing the folks who worked on the "Vision
of Jim Henson" exhibit, so it wasn't really intensively Jim Henson
oriented. The interviews with Jane and Cheryl Henson were probably the
highlight to me, and the footage of the exhibit was interesting.
