My daughter was born in 1980 and my son in 1983. Our family grew up with The Muppets. I remember watching this episode and then having a talk with the kids. Very powerful.
@@mudlark4099 I told them that Jim Henson was a good friend of the Muppets. I had to tread lightly because that would get into Santa Claus territory and I wanted to preserve that 'childhood magic' for as long as possible. PS: I still plan on telling them about Santa... one day.
@@piscesempress1978Born December 1982. Henson died exactly 2 months after Robin Harris. What I remember, is my Stepdad claiming he had died of AIDS. When in Actuality, he had died from the same thing that killed Prince 26 years later: Walking Pneumonia.
I was a fan of the Muppet Show and Dark Crystal. I didn't really understand The Muppets. When I heard of Jim Henson's passing I was sad. However seeing this tribute for the first time has me in tears. It makes me wonder about the four people that gave this video a thumbs down.
Only a year later, an even older TV franchise would lose its creator as well: Gene Roddenberry of Star Trek. They can both rest in peace knowing that their legacy, their great contribution toward a better world will live on. 🙂👍
My mom was a huge fan on The Muppets back somewhere in 1990's, she said that every Sunday she watches on Television, the Muppets movie the original classic
Kermit the Frog wasn't seen in much of the cast scene because he was seen crying in front of a pond next to Mickey Mouse who came to comfort him. He was really eaten up by the death of Jim Henson.
R.I.P Jim Henson 😢he was a great puppeteer and a very talented person when it came to puppets I wish he was still alive but it’s okay 👌 because it already happened.
5:52 the first words Steve Whitmire said as Kermit
Watching Big Bird at his funeral literally guts me every time. That Caroll did that performance, breaking down. Now they're together again. . .

How did the little ones handle it? What it tough for them?

The Muppet Show along with Family Feud dominated the 7-8 P.M. access slot between 1981 and 1983.

I'm not crying. I'm just......Ah, who am I kidding, I'm totally crying! And that's okay.

I love that fans are keeping his legacy alive. I grew up loving everything Jim Henson created.
