Happy Eighty-Sixth Birthday In Heaven Jim Henson

OMG, I miss him too!
His kids sold out his company to the WOKE ZOMBIES, and they've ROYALLY fucked up his lifes work!!

It was a shock hearing about him passing away.

Anyway, the Muppets all died, as far as I'm concerned, when Frank Oz retired.

I remember "Wilkins Coffee" commercials from the '60s...

 
I know Jim got his start in commercials, and saved his money to invest in childrens television.

Actually, Jim Henson developed his first TV show "Sam and Friends" 1955-1961 for an adult audience. During the first season of "Saturday Night Live", The Muppets had a recurring sketch called "The Land of Gorch".

Jim Henson made two more attempts to launch adult-centric comedy shows with The Muppets but, by that time, the brand was too closely associated with children's programming and they failed.
