Hey, I come to the boards every once and a while, but I just registered. I was wondering if anybody knew of some good books or websites or even good give me excerpts from a book that could support my discussion of the muppet show being very cutting edge and boundary crossing. I need some sources for a history report I'm doing on the subject, so any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks A Lot!

I suggest searching amazon.com for books on Muppets (there are several)and writing them down, then getting them at your public library. This is the best Muppet site I know of.

Randlev, your best bet is to track down a copy of the 1981 book, "Of Muppets and Men: The Making of The Muppet Show".

Or "Jim Henson - The Works" By Christopher Finch (methinks...). That book has virtually everything in it (that is, up until 1993 :wink:)
