New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

who's Jim?

I was watching the new season of the Puppet Show released on DVD and I was excited to watch the section "Who's Jim", I think thats what its called. Well, it appears that none of the Muppets know Jim Henson.

Can someone please explain to me WHY on earth Muppets Central would not take the opportunity to introduce the new Muppet audience to one of the greatest heros of my generation?

An artist, a humanitarian, a comedian, with a gentle soul who wanted to make the world a better place (and did). I cry and smile every time I think of him, but the DVD gave me "duh, I don't know who he was."

Fortunately, Jim's art speaks for itself!
I love you Jim

Hi, I'm new to this forum as well as being new to computers. I discovered the Muppets about 1989 when trying to find decent programs for my young daughter and was always delighted with it (so was she) The mix of interest, fun, education, broadening out of the mind and teaching to accept those different to ourselves is excellent. My personal favourites were Bert and Ernie, I so wish I had a dvd of them. My main reason for joining this forum apart from getting up to date with things is to try to find out how to get the Muppets and Sesame St. in other languages. I want German, Spanish and Hindi. Can anyone help me please? Sorry to waffle on and hi to everyone, regards, Glynis

Dear Philip:

I am not new to Muppets but relatively new to the Central.

62 year old Grandmother of 5 with a love of Kermit that knows no end.
I wish Miss Piggy would step aside so I could have a chance.

It isn't easy being green, when green is all you want to be!

Have been a huge fan of Jim Henson's since I was 12 and Wilkins and Wontkins were being the bad boys of TV.

Grew up in Alexandria, Virginia.

I bought my Wilkins and Wontkins from Wilkins Coffee. $1.00 50years ago!

My grandchildren 5-20 have grown up with the Muppets as did my 2 children. If it comes we will go!

Welcome to all after me and thank you for all before me.
