Sounds like a good idea. But I now that I look back at what I wrote I meant that sense Fraggles used to Air on Disney Channel and sense Bunny towns tunnels are so similar that that may have been in influence by it.
I guess so..It's nice that they don't own the fraggles to though..or do they?:scary:

No, that would be Hit Entertainment. I'm sure that a lot of things are influence By Henson and the tings they did. you know?

I think he is IMHO, the father of most of the better puppet ideas still around today:excited: .

But about Johnny and The Sprites. Surprised that is has so many Puppeteers from Henson and Sesame Street!
Hey, Johnny is John Tartaglia, so he's got connections with Sesame Street and Henson, so naturally there's going to be quite a few puppeteers from both sides on his show.

And also, It's taped at Kaufman Astoria Studios, so It's filmed in the same building as SS is!

I actually saw these on some really lame morning show, that Fox network one (not the news network, the broadcast network). I checked it out after flipping through the channels, and I heard one of the puppet characters sounded like Rosita. Sure enough, it's the same puppet actress. It looks cute and everything, but I've never had that much exposure to it.
