thank you

a good friend has not one but two of those altered apex machines. he's kept track of which ones can be "hacked" and how. i'm tempted to get one myself for just this type of programming while they're still out there.

thanks for the extra information (and compliments are always nice, too!).

Both Great Performances: The World of Jim Henson and People Profiles: Jim Henson were done after Jim had passed, but both use interview material with him. For example, People Profiles opens with a real short clip of Big Bird walking into Jim's office and offering him a nacho (I laughed over this for about an hour), and Great Performances begins with Jim and Kermit sitting together, talking to the interviewer about how he feels okay with being seen manipulationg Kermit and that he doesn't pretend to be a ventriloquist, etc.

From where were these behind-the-scenes and interviews taken?

Hey!

"From where were these behind-the-scenes and interviews taken?"

The "nacho" clip shown at the beginning of People Profiles, with Jim & Big Bird is from the special "Henson´s Place" from 1985!

A very great UK special!!!

Hope this helps,

Hans "Animal" Jensen
