Jim Henson Idea Man

Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
I'll never get to meet Jim, however, I had the honor of meeting Steve last year. A really great guy, so easy to talk to him, because he's as much of a fan of the Muppets as we are, and sitting in on his Q&A panel, you could just sense his passion for his work with the Muppets.
He was made from foam plastic, rather than foam rubber; rather than crumble into toast as most puppets do over time, Bruno just basically fell apart, and that was that.
You have to admit though, considering he was in use from the late 70s all the way into the early 90s is a testament to his...
Mickey Mouse has generally had a consistency with his design and appearance over the decades, most notably his head basically just being a large circle with two slightly smaller circles for ears. However, it seems like there was a period of time from the 40s and even up into the 80s, where his...

Same. As I've said before, Season 30 felt like, to me, when the show was "born again," because that ATC era is just so . . . it's almost like it was a completely different show.
I will say there were some interesting episodes and moments from this era, such as Slimey to the Moon, and perhaps...
BARRY: How about a suicide pact?
VANESSA: How would we do it?
BARRY: I'll sting you, you step on me.
VANESSA: That just kills you twice.
BARRY: Oh yeah.
I mean, it makes sense: many Season 1 inserts recycled already-established Muppets that were used in previous Henson projects, like Beautiful Day Monster.
Oh yeah, that's how much I try to convey the atmosphere and asthetic of the golden age of television, both visually and audio. Heck, my most recent outing was, in a way, a nod and throwback to old Krofft shows:
They lost me when they started dropping SEINFELD, hence why I bit the bullet and...
