    Steve and Jim

    Comparing Henson and Whitmire to Connery and Moore is insulting to Steve Whitmire's talent. No he's not Jim Henson, but he is Kermit the Frog, and a very, very good one at that. He has the personality down, and tweaked it a bit over the years, as any artist should when taking over...

    The Disney Deal: One Year Later

    Wow, one year. Last year the news broke on my 29th birthday. An intersting gift for a Muppet fan. At first I was bummed, but the people at Disney aren't idiots! They do quality work and seem to appreciate the Muppets more than I thought! So turning 30 with the Muppets out of Henson's hands...

    The Henson Productions Timeline

    I've seen the Wizard of Id pilot! It's only about one minute long. The puppets look completely like the comic strip drawings! if you want to see it, and you're near NYC, go to the Museun of Television and Radio. They have it to view as part of their "Unseen Works of Jim Henson".

    New Marlo Thomas CD with Kermit, Ernie and Bert

    In the 1970's Marlo Thomas did a whole thing with Free To Be You And Me including books, music and a film, and another one later, I think it was called Free To Be A Family. This seems to be the next thing along that line. There is a book out also that goes with the CD.

    Elmwood Productions, my puppet site

    We're working on the Quick time, it's coming hopefully right after Christmas. We're editing on the Mac, but the site is done somewhere else, and it's kinda new to us! Glitches and delays! As the Demon puppet says in one of the clips "It's a work in progress".
