I had to look that up….I don't remember the Jim Henson Hour being a series. I think I saw one or more of them thinking they were one-off specials….

I was in college then and pretty much missed it, though I remember tuning into a few of them with paternal, nostalgic feelings at the age of 19 or so. I don't remember it being unfunny or offensive. Was it good?

Ida know.

Also in my 40's and have deep Muppet feelings, but really only for classic stuff. It's all seemed to have been sold out around the time my youth and innocence ended, appropriately.

I would agree except Muppet Christmas Carol, I keep watching…

Still the only celebrity death that ever made me cry real tears.

No, it's stupid. It looks pretty so I keep giving it a chance, but I like both Torn Curtain and Topaz better.

*gets out Working Class Hero, The Definitive Lennon cd* Disc 2, Track 13. From 2005.

…didn't Michael Landon make a pilot that had been picked up by CBS but then couldn't go into production? That's gotta count as much as the first guy on the list who never shot a thing for his show.

I noticed while reading the list that John McEntire replaced the Wagon Train master who died in 1960 and then replaced the Virginian character who died in 1967—I guess when an actor on a Western dies, you call John McEntire.

Nope, just trying to point out that for some of us, thirty thousand dollars is indeed a huge loan from a family member; in fact an impossible loan.

That you're about to loan me $34,000? I'm totally good for it, and it's clearly peanuts to you.

Oh, and William Frawley gave her nothing, eh? I guess his "timing was off," huh, whippersnapper?

But as the article pointed out, Manuela figures out the deception and then takes control by lying to and manipulating Serafin. And as Grampton pointed out, then she throws an entire goddamn room at him. The movie's about sexual fantasies and how they play in reality; this article was really insightful actually.

Walker died when his psychiatrist administered a sedative which apparently combined with alcohol to kill him….I guess it was a kind of accident…

Its cleverness and surreal quality makes it a lot more interesting to watch than a lot of other musicals of the era, for sure.

Except also, Freed was everyone's boss at the time he wrote "Make Em Laugh," and everyone knew it was basically "Be a Clown" but were too afraid to point it out to him, and I think they were relieved when Porter shrugged it off.

You can buy it on Amazon, download for five bucks or dvd for 20.

The article was thoroughly disappointing for anyone who already knows the case and these movies…it barely scratches the surface details of the case and seems to be ignorant of many details of the filming of all of the movies, including Swoon's status in queer cinema, that Leopold sued over Compulsion despite the name…
