I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED TO THE MUPPETS AT A VERY EARLY AGE,
WHILE THE MUPPET SHOW WAS STILL IN PRODUCTION.
I REMEMBER SEEING PARTS OF VARIOUS EPISODES AND THEN
BEING ABLE TO ENJOY THEM FULLY IN RE RUNS DURING MY
CHILDHOOD YEARS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO WORK
IN THE MUPPET SHOP (WHEN IT WAS TITLED THAT AND IN ANOTHER
AREA OF THE PARK) IN THE DISNEY MGM STUDIOS AND WAS EVEN MORE
FORTUNATE TO MEET JIM. I HAVE BEEN TAPING MUPPET SPECIALS
AND OTHER APPEARANCES FOR YEARS AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH
TO TRADE WITH SOME OF YOU HERE IN THE COMMUNITY IN AN ATTEMPT
TO PUT TOGETHER A REALLY GREAT VIDEO COLLECTION.
LIKE A GOLDEN THREAD, JIM HENSON'S LEGACY HAS GOTTEN ME THRU
SOME REALLY ROUGH TIMES, AND I FOR ONE THANK HIM FOR
THE LIFETIME OF LAUGHTER AND MAGIC HE HAS GIVEN US. I AM NOW 32.
I HOPE TO SOMEDAY GET MARRIED AND HAVE CHILDREN THAT I
CAN PASS DOWN THIS LEGACY TO. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT NOW A DAYS, ONE OF THE ONLY WAYS YOUNG CHILDREN SEEM TO EVEN KNOW ABOUT MUPPETS IS BECAUSE OF ELMO AND THE SESAME STREET CONNECTION.
KIDS SEEM MORE INTO SPONGEBOB AND DORA AND THE NEWEST WAVE
OF SUPER HEROS. THANK GOODNESS FOR ELMO. I
REMEMBER HIM WAY BACK IN THE DAY, MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS,
JUST SITTIN THERE ON THE STAIRCASE.
JUST RECENTLY, I PURCHASED A DVD RECORDER AND IN AN ATTEMPT
TO PRESERVE MY COLLECTION (SOME OF THESE TAPES ARE AGES OLD
AND I HAVE ALWAYS HAD THAT FEAR IN THE BACK OF MY MIND THAT
I WOULD LOOSE SOME OF THE COLLECTION) I HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRING
EVERY LAST BIT OF FOOTAGE TO DISK.
WHILE TRANSFERRING JIM'S INDUCTION TO THE TELEVISION HALL
OF FAME, I REALIZED THAT WHILE THE MUPPETS ARE
STILL ALIVE AND KICKING, ACTION FIGURES AND ALL (THESE LATER YEARS HAVE BEEN A LOT QUIETER AND WITH FRANK NO LONGER A VITAL FORCE JIM'S INCREDIBLE LEGACY MUST ALWAYS ENDURE AND ITS
UP TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE OLDER TO PASS THE MAGIC ON THE BEST WAY WE CAN, BY MEANS OF VIDEO.
I HAVE NIECE'S AND NEPHEW'S THAT I CAN PASS THE MAGIC DOWN TO
NOW, AND I INTEND THAT THEY GROW UP WITH AS MUCH LOVE
FOR THE MUPPETS AS THEY DO FOR THE VEGIETALES.
THE PROJECT WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS, HOWEVER, THERE ARE
A FEW MISSING TEETH.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY OF THE FOOTAGE I AM LOOKING FOR,
I WOULD BE WILLING TO TRADE ANY OF MY SPECIALS AND
FOOTAGE TO FILL IN THE GAPS IN YOUR COLLECTION.
I AM LOOKING FOR THE FOLLOWING
AN EPISODE OF MUPPETS TONITE WHICH WAS TITLED
THE BEST OF MUPPETS TONITE.
THE JIM HENSON HOUR -- FIRST HALF OF THE SHOW EPISODES
NOT THE STORYTELLER EPISODES THO, JUST THE MUPPET CAST.
DIGIT, BEAN, AND SO ON.
ALSO NEED THE SECRETS OF THE MUPPETS J.H. HOUR EPISODE.
MINE IS INCOMPLETE.
THE MAKING OF FRAGGLE ROCK
THE BELLS OF FRAGGLE ROCK
AND ALL OF THE LITTLE MUPPET MONSTERS EPISODES.
HERES A LIST OF WHAT I CAN TRADE WITH
THE COMPLETE MUPPETS TONITE (MINUS THE BEST OF THAT I NEED)
THE MUPPETS GO TO THE MOVIES
JOHN DENVER AND THE MUPPETS, A CHRISTMAS TOGETHER
JOHN DENVER AND THE MUPPETS, A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOLIDAY (SHAKY COPY
BUT ITS THE FULL COPY WITH ROWLF NOT EDITED OUT.
A MUPPET FAMILY CHRISTMAS
THE MUPPETS GO HOLLYWOOD
THE MUPPETS, A CELEBRATION OF 30 YEARS
THE MUPPETS CELEBRATE JIM HENSON

MISS PIGGY'S HOLLYWOOD
NEARLY ALL OF THE MUPPET SHOW
AND A HOST OF CLIPS, COMMERCIALS AND RARITIES TO
NUMEROUS TO MENTION.
STUFF LIKE BERT AN ERNIE ON FLIP WILSON, ETC, ETC
I KNOW I AM FORGETTING SOME THINGS BUT I CAN ALWAYS EDIT THIS LATER.
I HAVE THE PLAYHOUSE SERIES BUT THEY CANNOT BE COPIED
SO I CANT EVEN TRANSFER THOSE MYSELF, WHICH IS A BUMMER
CASUE I DONT WANT TO LOOSE THOSE MOST IMPORTANTLY.
THE ONLY OTHER THING I CANT TRANSFER IS THE WORLD
OF JIM HENSON. SOMEONE MADE A COPY FOR ME BUT THE DVD
RECORDER MUST SENSE THE BLOCKING THAT WAS TRANSFERED
WITH THE COPY I HAVE CAUSE IT WONT ALLOW IT.
THAT KILLED ME TO CAUSE I MADE THIS
LEGACY OF JIM HENSON DISK WITH ALL THE STUFF ON JUST HIM
DEVOTED TO ONE DISK AND I CANT ADD THAT. UGH
MY SPECIALS ARE ALL THE FULL VERSIONS.
ANYONE WANTING TO TRADE, PLEASE DROP ME A LINE.
THANKS FOR READING, TAKE CARE, AND HAVE A VERY MUPPET HOLIDAY.
