i would definately rank jhh as one of my alltime fave henson/muppet
projects!! some of their best work.

in many ways i think the muppettelevision segments illustrate what was
missing from mt - lots of bizarre off-the-wall stuff that they threw in
anyway knowing it probably wouldnt survive long on network television
but who-cares-we'll-do-it-anyway

Anybody remember a show called the Jim Henson Hour? He would always introduce
the show along with a huge realistic lion muppet and end with a storyteller. I
have a couple of episodes on tape, and I swear it was the best show ever aired.

"Oh, no! Monsters!"

Great show.

Now if only they'd show the original Dog City again...
