Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I like the look of the puppet, but the stiff mouth movement bothers me.
What doesn't bother me is the performance! He may not sound exactly like Sam, but the personality was certainly there! And Kermit popping on-screen in classic Muppet Show style was awesome.
This is definitely one of my favorite videos they've done, but that probably has to do with the fact that I love Sam so much.
The look has grown on me a bit. If the movement is deemed to be a performance problem, then I'm sure they will adjust it.
I think part of the reason why they are going back to the classic Sam look, is so he looks more like an eagle, specifically the shape of the beak. They might want to consider dialing back on his eyebrows though.
I think the problem is the shape of the beak... it seems just kinda small, and the bottom lip doesn't really move all that much either... so I really think it stifles the movement in that aspect. I mean, Sam's beak was a lot more flexible in other puppets. I like the rest of the look fine, but it seems the beak needs a real adjustment to get the full line of expression back.
