One thing that's kinda funny, and I should check other Henson biographies to see if this occurs in others as well, is that Jim Henson, as well as his family, is often referred to by first name, while other people are often referred to by last name. For example, if it talks about Jim Henson and...

I'm four chapters in and it's so great. There's a lot of interesting stuff I didn't know. All this time I thought that the entire run of Sam and Friends was two episodes a day, five days a week, but the book mentions there were times when the number of shows per week were different, as well as...

Oh I didn't realize that the official description had the "'70s to today" line.

Last night I dreamt I was watching the final scene from The Muppet Movie, and actually spotted Lips there, in the back, right in front of Big Bird. And it made me wonder if the puppet had been around for two years before appearing on TV.

I got it for Christmas. So throughout the day, I would go straight to particular parts I wanted to read, back and forth, and then a few hours ago started reading from the beginning (though I'm only a few pages in to the second chapter). As I was browsing, I did notice one mistake, which is...

So I read that Jane Henson created these puppets and they've been doing it for the last few years, only now actually broadcasting a performance. Was this fact known among Muppet fans? I was surprised to hear about Jane creating some puppets. Interesting fact. I'd say it was okay. Of course...

Don't know how I feel about them showing The Muppets twice back-to-back while leaving out The Great Muppet Caper (but I'll forgive them for not showing Muppets from Space, and understand them not showing The Muppet Christmas Carol out of season).

I got Jim Henson: The Biography. And many of my presents were wrapped in Sesame Street wrapping paper.

The Crack Master is not in as much as this as I had expected. Couldn't they have just removed that part from the segment and continued airing the rest for years? Of course this is a little different than I had expected. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention when reading the descriptions...

When the title and some numbers appear, I wonder if that first number - 6 - is supposed to indicate this was from the sixth season. This was good. Maybe not great (aside from the rareness factor). Though the Crack Master scene was awesome. I wasn't expecting the others to be scared.

I don't think Robin looks like Kermit at all. He just looks like a small Muppet frog. He doesn't have Kermit's eyes or collar, and his voice isn't similar.

So what's "Janewary"? My first guess was a month-long tribute to Jane Henson. I'm not surprised that The Muppets will be broadcast on The Disney Channel and ABC Family, especially after learning yesterday that The Muppet Movie will air on ABC Family in January. And you know, with Muppets...

I'm not a fan of Duck Dynasty and don't really care either way if anybody from the show is fired or not for whatever reason, but yesterday me and my family were talking about this, and it got me thinking: The Duck Dynasty fans are probably most upset by this, and there are a lot of people...

Hearing about Regular Show replacing a broadcast of How the Grinch Stole Christmas reminds me of the time in May 2002 when a broadcast of Greg the Bunny was replaced with an airing of The Bernie Mac Show (and it stayed that way for the rest of the month.... Greg the Bunny was soon dropped while...

Can't remember if I ever asked this on the Muppet Central forum (I have wondered it a lot, and I asked on my Facebook wall today), but how is gravity a "law"? It's something that just happens. Breathing isn't a law. The ability to sleep or wake up isn't a law. Eating isn't a law. If the earth...

Maybe. A few years ago I decided to write a different story spotlighting each of the original five (can't remember if I did a Lips one).
