HT: Boing Boing. I’m a little impressed that this sort of thing was being aired on broadcast television almost 40 years ago.

    Yeah. Ever really watch Fraggle Rock? Check out the episode on Doozer ecology. That the Muppets evolved out of this sort of thing isn’t actually all that surprising.

    Interesting (for me) because I was thinking about existentialism vs. realism yesterday (something to be done every 3 years or so), anyway, what do you consider yourself?

    I am just curious.

    By what definition is a 52 minute teleplay “a short”? 🙂

    It’s cool, though.

    Henson’s film Time Piece is even better. Unfortunately, someone seems to have yanked it off YouTube, so I can’t link to it.

    Thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for that one.
