stolen shamelessly from a friend's blog.

I still can't stop smiling. Bring back the muppets!

Stolen, indeed, from _my_ blog! Still, it saved me the trouble of posting it myself... :-)

erm, not yours! stolen shamelessly from someone else's blog...

that's not to say I wouldn't have shamelessly stolen it from your blog had I found it there first! :-)

The URL is the site of my Italian friend Sergio, and he put the Muppets track up on it the night before last. Therefore, if you didn't steal it from me, you stole it from someone else who stole it from me.

Not that I mind or anything - I was going to post it anyway!

I love the Muppet Show!! Every now and again I catch it on tv when they do Muppet Marathons. Loves those! I'm thinking about trying to get it on DVD.

I was lucky enough to get to go to the Jim Henson Memorial that was held at the Smithsonian Instution's Museum of Natural History. There was not a dry eye in the house when Kermit sang "Rainbow Connection". There were a lot of dignitaries there, as well, as Jim's kids and most of the puppeteers he'd worked with during Sesame Street and the Muppet Show (and all the movies). It's amazing how many lives he touched.

How many of you grew up with Kermit and Cookie Monster like I did? In fact, they started the same year I was born. Sesame Street has always been a part of my life.

GSD bless Jim Henson!

I didn't grow up with Sesame Street - we had 'Rainbow', remember?

I do remember watching the muppet show, however...

I sort of skipped over the Muppets, although I thought Kermit was sort of derangedly cute. The crowning achievement imho was 'Fraggle Rock', still have the theme tune locked in my head, and the Doozers were so cool. :)

LOVED the Muppets. And Fraggle Rock. Didn't really like Seseme Street all that much, except for the monsters. Let me clarify that. Liked the Sesame Street monsters, didn't like the people. I was utterly devestated when Jim Henson died. It was as if Kermit himself had died. Thanks GSD (and our Universe's Deity) for Brian Henson who carried on the family tradition.

(Gonna have to look at that link when I have more time. Waiting impatiently)

I have an original Muppet Show album, dating from the mid-seventies. A few years ago, I suddenly felt like taking it out, looking at it and maybe playing some of it.

The next morning I heard that Jim Henson had died. Possibly around the time I felt like looking at that Muppet Show lp for the first time in years.

Hubby has both the first and the second Muppet show albums. When we first started going out I made him play them every time I went to his place. A touch sad, that.....

I'm the original guilty thief, he nicked it off me :-)

Sylvester says.... *plock*




actually he says peep, cheep, chirrup, squalk,muttermuttergrumblegrumble, oh and now he falls off his pirch whish is followed by a sheepish peek round to see if anyone was looking and a quick scramble back up

Rainbow? Yes, I remember. However, I didn't want to remember...

Zippy, George and Bungle all got into the same bed. This is kids TV? Mind you, they may have learnt it from Looby Loo, Andy Pandy and Teddy.

A bunch of preverts, the lot of em.

Yeah, well. Big Eaers was constantly telling Noddy to 'climb into my bed'. One of the reasons it was banned.

IIRC (and it was a loooooong time ago) Teddy never got into the hamper with Looby and Andy. He might have dressed like a wazzock, but he was no fool, that Andy Pandy.

And what about Mother Woodentop? And George off Rainbow would disappear for a bit, only to return wearing a dress and claiming to be called Georgina. Oh, yes, there was a lot of filth on kid's TV in those days.

When we got older we had to make our own filth. Jenny Hanley, Sally James, and especially Carol Leader all came in useful here.

I used to belong to a church choir who sang from the gallery. Of course we were known as "The Muppets".

Used to go along to the huse of one of my brother's friends to watch the Muppets. They had the hugest colour telly you could buy back then, consequently they had all the neighbourhood children round every evening.

Sesame Street was having a re-run when my daughter was tiny and she loved it, especially Count von Count. It came as no surprise that she loved Buffy and is now a Goth.

Could you ask for more on a Saturday morning?

What, she rides round on horseback dressed in smelly leather with a horsetail on her helmet, slaughtering Romans and designing churches with lots of pointy bits on?

I'm really struggling not to answer that with 'fresh tissues'.

Oops.
