*Ahem*

You forgot to mention that Bill Barretta was the giant. Perhaps the most important role in the tale of Jack & The Beanstalk...

PLEASE clear something up for me. When I watched the end credits for the miniseries yesterday, it showed the "Jim Henson Company" logo first and the "Hallmark Entertainment" logo second. Now whose show is this, HALLMARK's or HENSON's? It is "Jim Henson's Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story" so I'd imagine this was a Henson show, not a Hallmark production in association with Henson.

When the show aired on CBS, the credits were not shown here. So is this (like everything else) a Hallmark miniseries in which Henson was involved in, or was it a Jim Henson Television production in which Hallmark might've been involved in?

BTW, "Jack and the Beanstalk" came on earlier this afternoon from 2pm/1c-6pm/5c. I must say it is a pretty enjoyable show, nice to see Henson can still make a good fantasy program.

And I believe it the miniseries will also re-air Thursday and Friday at 9pm/8c. I think those are the dates.

Also, "Jack" has been nominated for 3 Emmys, 2 for makeup and 1 for music. Yay...

That's all I got. Still wondering who the show belongs to though.

I think it was a co-production through and through but i could be wrong.

Funny how no one even mentioned Hallmark during that time, even though the show was Hallmark-ish (what a word).
