hello fellow muppet-lovers, my name is lia & i am so happy to be a part of this community<3!
i am a new member, as this is my 1st post, but i am definitely not a
new muppet fan; i have been a fan of
jim henson,
the muppets, &
sesame street since i was a few months old (i am now 26)! growing up, my twin sister erin & i enjoyed
SS,
the ghost of faffner hall,
muppet babies,
the muppet show, & prob. more works of jim henson that i can*t even think of @ the moment.
i teach young toddlers (1 & 2 year olds) @ a daycare, & try to show them classic
sesame street (from 1969 to 1991ish), because i think that it was the best era of
SS, although there are still some gems here & there.
my sense of humor i think was
absolutely influenced by the muppets, & i
love it (you know the stuff, like chaos! LOL*)! erin & i watch
old jim henson shows recorded from my mom & dad for us when we were little & notice subtle things that we didn*t even realize when we were younger! i think it is some of the best stuff for kids- & most certainly adults- to enjoy!
my sis & i spend most of our time these days watching old muppet-y things on youtube; or spending time here, muppetwiki, etc. we have a youtube channel (VHSheaven) where we plan to upload our fave things (i.e. old episodes of
SS,
fafner hall, old commercials, & news clips, etc.). we are huge old pop-culture fans, too! so
old muppet clips are ideal viewing for us currently! lol*
recently we*ve become very into the muppeteers behind our fave muppets. i love all the muppeteers; but jerry, frank, jim, & richard are my faves because they were the 1st- the pioneers! i feel like each of them are a 2nd father & 1st teacher to me, in a way, & always friends.
ok, sorry about how long this post is. wow! enough muppet-nerdness here.
in the meantime, keep it muppetational, all<3!
