This has nothing to do with the topic- I just hit reply because it is faster.

   I get a weekly e-mail from TV-12 (local PBS channel) and:

THE WORLD OF JIM HENSON
 From the early television days in Washington D.C., through SESAME
STREET and "The Muppet Show" to the spectacular feature films, Jim
Henson's world always stemmed from --- as Maurice Sendak puts it ---
"Something so simple you were astonished it could be so simple and
funny." Among the nuggets offered in the telecast are insights on how
Henson's initial love was TV not puppets; the unpredictable and
overwhelming success of "The Muppet Show" the creation of American
icons from a modest frog and a robust pig; the crushing letdown
following Universal's initial response to The Dark Crystal, and, most
of all, how Henson's unbridled imagination led to a career fired with
innovation and surprise. THE WORLD OF JIM HENSON will air Friday,
November 14, at 9:00 p.m. on TV 12. 



  Just figured it might be of interest.
