I was a little disappointed to see that they had digitally removed all of
the rods. The story wasn't so hot either. Ever since Jim left us, it seems
as if the writers at Henson have gotten very lazy. I wonder of they write
the stories and then put together the production, or if they decide they
want to do a production and then just throw together a script? By doing it
the second way, it de-emphasizes the importance of a good, coherent story
line. Any one know any of the writers over there? I would think that script
writing for Henson would be an interesting occupation, and it would be nice
to know their process.
