I rember it very well we where walking in the Mall in East Tennesse and we pass by a book store that had a magizen rack that had a time magizen on it with kermit sitting in a directors chair looking very sad. i walk over to the book rack and the words on the Muppets say Goodbye to Jim Henson, or somthing to that nature. My heart was broken, i thought kermit needs me and i need him right now. i was sad for a few days i thought the muppets where dead the Person i was looking up to was gone, i was scared and hurt. That hurt went on for years. Kermit's voice would never be right and i totaly hatted both MCC and MTI. Then i just had to except the fact Jim was gone and that the muppets where still around and where just a little diferent.
Now i can happly say that i love both MCC and MTI and everything else that the muppets have done after Jim's Death.
