” at first it looked like even turning up a single star to kick off the season. ”
Huh??

Reading the portion about Frank Oz and the other muppeteers singing at Jim Henson’s memorial brought tears to my eyes.

Alice – glad I’m not the only one. I almost started bawling.
This is fantastic. I need to get the second and third seasons on DVD.

For some reason, I remember the Muppets cutting to a Muppet News Flash and there was a huge lightning bolt, thunder and loads of smoke. It was so perfect, I might have dreamed it as I only remember seeing it once.

The actual ceremony is on youtube. And yes, it’s damn moving, like everything the muppet family did and believed in.

If you haven’t watched the Jim Henson Memorial before, you should. But be warned — you will cry. I don’t care how tough you are. You will weep oceans after only a few minutes of watching.
But it was also cathartic.

Today I discovered that I’m “Of a certain age”.
The Muppet Show was, at one time, the greatest thing in the world to me.

This is a lovely article, and it’s great to see so much love for the Muppets. My inner Muppet geek can’t resist pointing out that The Muppet Show didn’t actually have “guest hosts”… Kermit was always the host (except for an episode or two where it was part of the storyline that he was incapacitated). Florence Henderson, Connie Stevens, Rudolf Nureyev, etc. were guest stars, but unlike the way it’s done on Saturday Night Live, the guests didn’t have anything to do with hosting the show.

I miss the Muppet Show, too. Got teary at the thought of all of the puppets at his memorial singing…that must have been amazing. Jim Henson was a great talent who is missed.
