What's the name of it?

The A&E Biography of Sesame Street has some great behind-the-scenes footage as well... but that's just of Sesame Street. They show under the camera of Jim and Frank working Bert and Ernie. It's wonderful!

Aw man, I'd love to see that...

Is that the complete title to search for?

Just got the DVD 3 days ago, and the first thing I did was of course to watch the "Of Muppets And Men", and boy, was it ever worth the wait and the money!

I always thought Frank was something of a private man and wasn't much for interviews, so I was plesantly surprised to see, just how much he was featured (and getting due credit).

Some of the first memories I have of television, is actually the bit where Frank is going through that trap-door to operate Piggy in the sofa with Roger Moore, so maybe this thing was on danish national TV back then (probably was, considering how popular TMS was).

Heh, everybody had beards back in the 70's, apparently. Heck, my dad still has his 70's beard...

What a deligthful DVD, and again, muppet_dk, thanks for the tip. Just what I was looking for!

Now I only need to watch the "regular" feature on it with my girlfriend tonight.

He's also geting alot of screen time in "The World of Jim Henson" from 1995. It was shown on DR1 at one point.

After I watched the DVD I had the feeling that I have seen that before. I'am also guesing that it have been shown before on DR.

I think that was a demand if you wanted a job at JHC at that time

The A&E Biography of Sesame Street has some great behind-the-scenes footage as well.

One of my favourite things about that is the outtakes.

Telly: "Hey Bert!"
Bert: "..."
Telly: "Bert? Ah, he never talks to me."

or...

Ernie: "All you need, Telly, is a word that rhymes with-- oh, rats! Aagh!"
Telly: "Rats... Uh, flats!"

Actually you will get it a bit cheaper since you live in the states. The dvd will cost 79,2 dkr but then theres the shipment that will cost you 159 Dkr. The total price in US$ are then around 38$.

You can also find it on sites in the UK. It would proberly be much better for you to place the order there since the DVD has to be imported to Denmark from UK before it can be shiped to you in the US. And you can understand the language

HMV, blackstar or amazon uk
The DVD are about 5$ more in these stores, but I don't know how much they charge for the shipping.
Try to look there first, if you think it's more expensive then mail me and I will tell you how to order from www.dvdoo.dk
