Wow, patrick.hall-AT-sasknet.sk.ca wrote me Tue 28 May 96  8:25 about Jim

        I don't think that there are videos of it available yet, at least
in North America. I was told by someone on alt.tv.muppets that Jim Henson
Home Video plans to release these this year, but this may only be a rumour.
It is an excellent series, one of the finest ever made, and I sincerely
hope that it will be made availble soon. There was also the follow-up
series, Greek Myths. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any of the Greek Myths
episodes.

        There are extensive lists availble through the muppet pages listed
on Rose Sage's puppetry home page.

        That's inchworm! Isn't it great? That's a classic. I have the half
aired on the PBS special (minus the end where the monster eats Kermit) and
the last part (the eating of Kermit) from the Muppets 30th anniversary so I
edited them together since there's no way to get the entire skit on video.

        I believe much of the early Muppet material is in the Museum of
Television and Radio in New York city.
