Muppets Fever

I finally caved in and bought the 1st season of "The Muppet Show."
When Nikki bought hers last year, I was not completely sold to the
idea of purchasing my own copy. Then a week or so ago, Emma and
I were at the Lexington Public Library when I stumbled upon a VHS
tape of "The Best of the Muppet Show" which featured guests such
as Elton John, Julie Andrews, and Gene Kelly. After watching it with
Emma that night and seeing her reaction to the wonderful Muppets,
I immediately went online and ordered it.

The DVD of the 1st season came in 2 days ago, and so far I have only
seen the first DVD...thanks to Emma. Then today, I found out that
Jim Henson - the genius behind the Muppets, shares the same birthday as :drumroll: ... EMMA! Sixty-eight years apart.

I also found on YouTube the Muppet tribute to JH. Here's a clip of the
song that "Just One Person." I was getting all choked up when the show got to this part. So here you go...

Aw man!!!! Me too!!! It's weird to think of the whole generation of kids (Emma, my brothers) for whom Jim Henson has always just been a production company or a name on the credits. *sigh*
