This Is An Odd Question...

[Nick]

We just finished watching the VHS of Jim Henson, and it ended with the memorial service clip of Brian and Cheryl reading some quips and things from Jim to his friends.... Does Anyone know if there is a Video of the actual Service?

I have heard some things about how Everyone had a muppet, and at one point towards the end, They all held them up to sing the song, and then BB walked down the Isle singing "it's not easy being green"... I am choking up just typing this...

Anyway, I was just curious if one exists...

Try contacting MC forum user KermiClown, he has lots of Rare Muppet videos including that. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean...

It's a big fuss with people divided into two groups:

The "It's just not right, handing out a taped personal funeral service; when the original video explictly said not to be re-recorded."

And The "But we want to see it because we were too young/weren't able to go to it/simply want to see the beautiful things they've did for him."

And lots of people get inflamed over it. Just so ya know.

Oh... I did not know.
Well my apologies to anyone here if I offended.

Weren't the memorial service and the funeral two different things entirely? I've never understood this topic.
