Who loves Jim Henson?

Answer 1

I do - very, very much.

One of the most magical moments of my childhood was the episode of Sesame Street where the grown-ups finally acknowledged that Mr Snuffleupagus (that weird put strangely patient elephant-thingy, remember?) was real and not a figment of Big Bird's imagination. I felt just relieved, I guess, after so many near-misses!

I loved the 'Counting Count' so much that I was once put in detention for imitating his laugh after answering a question in class (my Maths teacher was a horrible woman with no sense of humour.)

That, and Kermit's reporter role - I can still remember the music for that segment vividly! What else - the visiting aliens who kept coming to see Ernie and Bert: 'Yip yip yip....'

Bunsen and Beaker were my favourites from the Muppet Show. I think the Muppet movies were overall a disappointment for me, and it's not because of my age now - the vintage Sesame Street episodes still, even today, have more genuine imagination, humour and warmth when I watch them.

If I meet Jim Henson in the afterlife, I'd say "I've been a fan of yours since I was FIVE... (cue thunder & lightning) AH AH AH...'

Answer 2

Bert-he had to stay with Ernie and he didnt use any anti depressants :-) God love Ernie yet he's so oblivious to what he does and the outcomes. super for a toddler to artwork out that so as that they dont emmulate it. i understand all of them and that i bypass over JIM HENSON-GREW UP WIHT HIS kinfolk OF MUPPETS!
