The RHLC!

I'm sure someone has noticed this before, but I did a few various searches on Google and the forum here and didn't see anything. In fact, the Muppet Wiki doesn't include this either, so maybe I am the first to notice that this puppet who appears in "Jim Henson Presents Mother Goose Stories: The Prince and the Beggars" bears a striking resemblance to Richard Hunt.

I snagged a quick pic via my digital camera while trying to cram in a "Mother Goose Stories" marathon on Netflix streaming before the show expired on 3/15.

Wait, MGS was on Netflix?! Dude, you should have grabbed every episode to seriously bulk up the entries/pages for that production on the Muppet Wiki, episodes, characters, cast, etc.

Sorry, I don't visit the forums here that often. And I just noticed on 3/14 that the show was expiring -- I only had time to watch 7 eps before 3/15 hit. And when Netflix says that a title expires on a certain date, what they mean is that it expires immediately at midnight the day before.

But someone did mention it here a year ago:

http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/...f-toys-mother-goose-stories-on-netflix.47205/

I use the Netflix streaming companion site instantwatcher.com to stay informed about when stuff expires and what's new. Netflix doesn't make that info available until it's within 30 days of expiration. Instantwatcher's search is also vastly superior to Netflix's.

Just a couple examples:

http://instantwatcher.com/titles?q=muppets&search_episodes=

http://instantwatcher.com/titles?q=jim+henson&search_episodes=

I would think some devoted fan would have started a running thread here on Muppet Central to keep fans informed of what's currently available via Netflix Instant Watch, and what's about to expire.

"Fraggle Rock: The Animated Series" and "The Secret Life of Toys" both expire in April.

That's actually awesome I'm not going to lie. I should do that in a random class sometime. Hop on a chair and scream Jim Henson. I did a speech on the company once last year for speech class. It was pretty awesome. I got like a B on it but the teacher who graded it rarely, if ever, gives As.

 

[Lola p]

yeah, it was pretty cool. i got a lot of weird looks though. lol.

 

[Lola p]

ok, i did my spech, and i got 10 exttra credit points! i got them for going on for about 10 mins. (we were only suposed to go for 2) i am sooo happy!

That's great Lola, good for you! I totally understand, I loved History class but I hated it when it was reduced to "This President, that war, Next President, next war." Ugh, lol.

Glad your speech went well.

 

[Lola p]

ya, my speech was the only one to go outside of the box, too. mine was fun to do, and everyone else said they hated the project, but i personly loved it.

Hi, everyone, how's it going?

I've been pretty absent from the MC forum of late - between work and assorted other things, plus I just came back from a trip to Ireland.
