Just saw a commercial this morning for (I think) American Express ... and a really old clip of Jim Henson and a few Muppets (incl. Scooter and Piggy, I think) was featured and I was like HUH?

Did you see it on tv? Because there is an American Express card commercial with Jim, Floyd, Gloat, Scooter, a pig, Nigel, and a couple other muppets. Filmed during Season 1 of "The Muppet Show."

Yeah, I just saw it this morning ... it shows a bunch of clips of various people and their projects. It requests that viewers let them know of their special projects.

Lol I remember reading about that in an old book about commercials!

Jim: "Do you know me? I created the Muppets."

Muppets: "Big deal!"

I love that commercial! It was so cool seeing that; I've never even heard of that commercial before. :big_grin: The commercial was nice overall too.
