Heck, even when I was five I liked watching Muppet documentaries!
Me too. I bet a lot of us were like that. I was four, I think, when that PBS special about Jim Henson came out. "World of Jim Henson" I think. My parents let me stay up past 8 for it. That was serious stuff!

But yeah. The modern Muppeteers are never given their dues. Please give us some interviews with them, and stop forcing the actors/directors/crew to act like Kermit the Frog is a real frog, please. It's fun in publicity stuff, but seriously...

I definitely remember my Mom telling me about World of Jim Henson, I had it on tape for years. When I was even younger I was practically raised on the Henson's Place documentary, that's how I knew who Jim Henson and Frank Oz were, lol. It never ruined the Muppets for me, it was just more to enjoy! :smile:

I'm just gonna say that The Muppets will always be real to me. :big_grin:
Oh yeah definitely, I mean it all ties together for me, like they put it at the Fraggle wrap party, "We're the work and play of you who made us real." :smile:

I think the closest thing was Jim's memorial which I'm sure he did appreciate. : )

Although I think the Muppeteers should have more screen-time, I think it would be funny to watch the Muppets in the read-through. Maybe both performers and Muppets? :jim: I guess we'll just have to wait another painstaking 3 Days!!! *Man, I hope I get it earlier!*:smile:
