HI! I was just wondering if anyone had any footage of early muppet material Jim Henson might have done. Like pre-muppet show skits. It would be awesome to see how he began. I'm not even sure what he did before the Muppet Show and if he was even on television. Let me know!

Thanks!

Hi Kelly,

To find out some more on early Henson stuff, take a look at MC's Timeline. That should give you a decent outline. If you want to get more in-depth, you really need to pick up Jim Henson: The Works while it's still available.

Hope this helps :smile:

Kelly--

Jim Henson: The Works is still available at Book Star, and I've seen it at Davis-Kidd Booksellers and Barnes and Noble in case you can't find it anywhere else.

Then again, I'm not even sure if those stores are even located where you're at.

Maybe so. Hope you get lucky and find one, it's a GREAT BOOK!!

FOZ

Scott, how's it goin, man?)

Here's a great link to an old song jim henson sang on:

I don't know when this was, but it certainly was before the muppetshow.
