Henson's Place

I'm just curious. What exactly is the tv special "Henson's Place" about?

It's a wonderful English-produced documentary about Jim Henson with lots of interviews with people who worked with Henson.

I figured that that was what it was about. Don't they have like a tour through the NY offices or something? I remember seeing a photo of Jim talking with Big Bird in his office.

Here's a quote from IMDB on it:

"A wonderful documentary with featured performance clips and interviews featuring Jim and Jane Henson, Frank Oz and others. The documentary focuses on the Muppet phenomena and a look at the behind-the-scenes of the Jim Henson Company in its glory days. The Documentary was originally produced for French and British television and eventually found it's way to the United States."

It's a great special about the company.

My other favorite Henson company documentary I believe was titled; "Of Muppets and Men: The Making of the Muppet Show". I haven't seen that video in over 20 years. That was great too. The video's title was similar to the book title.
I hope that video is eventually included in future Muppet Show DVD sets.
