The Henson Productions Timeline

[Vic Romano]

This will be a great listing once it's all tweaked, good job!

1 It's spelled "B-R-E-H-M-E-N", not Bremen.

Are you sure?

2 What's the difference between The Muppets Go Hollywood and The Muppets Go To The Movies?

From the old Henson.com sites:

The Muppets Go Hollywood

The Muppets Go To The Movies

4 Are you sure of Muppet Babies in 84 and Little Muppet Monsters in 85? Don't remember seeing them on TV till 88.

Yes I am sure that Muppet Babies premiered in 1984 and Little Muppet Monsters premiered in 1985.

5 Are you sure of Jim Henson's The Storyteller in 87? Cause it's the second half to the episodes of Jim Henson Hour, which didn't hit the airwaves till 89.

Well, the old Henson.com site said it did come out in 1987.

[The Count]

Yes, I'm sure of the spelling. If you write it as "B-R-E-M-E-N", it sounds like briemen. But if you write it as "B-R-E-H-M-E-N", it sounds like brehmen.
Hope this helps and hope you take the other stuff into consideration when updating.

 

[BoyRaisin2]

It's Bremen. And the other things were correct too...although MTI was released in '96, not '95.

 

[GelflingWaldo]

Two Jim Henson Productions you missed:
Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird - 1985
Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art - 1983

And a correction to 1989:
It should just have

-The Jim Henson Hour
-The Ghost of Faffner Hall

the "specials" you listed are not specials, they were just regular episdoes of the show they were no more (or less) special than anyother episode of the show; and the Sesame Street special listed was produced as an episode of the Jim Henson Hour too.

I've seen the Wizard of Id pilot!

It's only about one minute long. The puppets look completely like the comic strip drawings! if you want to see it, and you're near NYC, go to the Museun of Television and Radio. They have it to view as part of their "Unseen Works of Jim Henson".

 

[GelflingWaldo]

I'm not sure what your criteria is for a production to get onto the time line. Is it productions by The Jim Henson Company? Is it productions that used the Creature Shop? Is it Muppet productions? There are many productions on (and not on) the listiwhich should (or shouldn't be) there depending on what you are using to define a "Henson Production". If you could share that with us?

Also here are some shows, films, and specials your don't have listed:
A Special Sesame Street Christmas
Sesame Street All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever!
Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street
Big Bird in Japan
Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
CinderElmo
Don't Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Elmo Saves Christmas
Elmopalloza
Muppet Meeting Films
Play with me Sesame
Sesame Street in Puerto Rico
Sesame Street Jam: A Musical Celebration
Sesame Street Stays Up Late!
The Street We Live On: A Celebration of 35 Years
The Wizard of ID
Wilson’s Meats Meeting Film


And here are some corrections on titles you already have on the list:
The proper title of what you have listed as "Follow that Bird-first Sesame Street movie" is "Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird". Also you have "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" listed but this is just a regular episode not a special. And lastly The film you have listed for 2004 "Five Children and It", you may want to check again as the film has not been released yet (and it's already 2005).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Are you sure that "The Bells of Fraggle Rock" is just an episode and not a special? Becuase it was listed as a special on the old Henson.com site.

2)According to IMDB.com, it said Five Children and It(2004)
