Hello I'm Joe.
I live in Minnesota and I can't remember life without the Muppets!
I'm 25 love TMS and Fraggle Rock with a passion!I'm also a big baseball fan,which works out great cuz we have the best team
in the world, (no exaggeration......)
I used to watch TMS before I could walk, and I Love them still.
I have been observing Muppet Central for a while now (tail-end of 1999?)
Anyway I've finally taken the time to post, I know its been a while
but ..........
I've been extreamly impressed with Muppet Central and all the work you all do to make it a wonderful place to visit!!
My favorite Muppets would hafta be Dr.teeth and the Electric Mayhem!!!! They were my introduction to rock n roll!
I remember loving Fraggle Rock when it came out even though I never had cable as a kid,the first thing I saw of them was a video my parents bought me called Fraggle songs vol. one.
I had a few opportunities to watch the show when it went through its original run on HBO (relatives houses etc.)
I even had a few episodes on a tape my aunt made me one year.
She made it for me for Christmas and the tape had The Bells of Fraggle Rock's first airing!!
Somehow through the years some tapes got taped over or just deteriorated
I remember being in 7th grade when Jim passed, I stayed home from school the next day and devoted my entire day to watching his wonderful creations on the big screen. ( my parents knew how much Jim means to me so they let me do it.)
some of my family members and friends have found it strange that as I grew up, I was still mezmorised by The Muppets.
It was kinda like "Joe, your still into that?"
but now they all realize it's just a part of me that will never go away!
Anyway I would just like to say Hi and thank all of you for this wonderful place to gather and enjoy the Henson legacy.
