[Fuzzyembalmer]

Thank you so much for posting this..I was crying when they starting singing The RainBow Connection

[setum99]

there should have been an explosion at the end with the troll saying something like" i told you! every classic muppets bit has an explosion!"

[KellyMRWeymer]

I think that dog was from Fraggle Rock!

[Gabrielle261]

haha, Aww Jim got stuck washing dishes, again. =D God bless you Jim Henson, you're still making people laugh after being gone for 20 years. :')

[brianklick]

Every muppet special u see the man's face. 1 way or another

[CandyCorn310]

i love the muppets, okay

[TherealRNO]

CandyCorn: And that's bad how? *hugs Kermit, Piggy, Gonzo, Camilla, Fozzie, Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Grover, Gobo, Red, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, and even Oscar and Elmo, among others* The Muppets rock! God bless Jim Henson.

[zappowbam]

this was so fun to watch! thanks for posting (= my dad, who passed away 6 years ago, was a HUGE Jim Henson fan, so the guy is pretty much revered in our household.

[beatlebijou]

I always associated "The Rainbow Connection" with The Carpenters. Up until just a few years ago. Beautiful and lovely. xx

[Gabrielle261]

Jim Henson touched so very many people with his work. Why did he have to go?

God bless you Jim, ya' done good.

[theory24]

lol henson had to pay the bill XD! I love the muppets.

[Kryptoburn257]

I also liked it when Gonzo took Jim Henson's picture in the Great Muppet Caper.

[theory24]

yup that was cool too. You dont see many cameos like that anymore lol.

[efil4own1]

That's how it always was...the Muppets end up having a great time, and Jim ended up paying the bill. :)

[LoneWolf1974]

Yeah...like at the end of Muppet Family Christmas, he was the one who had to wash all the dishes. But I seem to recall he had Sprocket to help out..."I'll wash, and you dry." LOL

[TomCollinsgirl]

I wanted to cry when I saw Henson. His creations gave me a reason to laugh and dream while dealing with a hard childhood.

[Xyllirium]

I can completely relate. I always cry whenever I see that Linda Rondstandt song, and just remember how I still miss Jim Henson.

[Batou3]

who?

[Xyllirium]

Linda Rondstandt (sp?), she sang a song in part 6 of 7 of this special that was really heartwrenching.

[tummydoor123]

I love them.Thanks for putting it on leadout and thanks to jim henson where ever he maybe

[SteelerJsun]

"Wherever he may be" is right...

[RetroWinnipeg]

I'm amazed they included everything, from the lion from the Sylvester Stallone episode of The Muppet Show to the monsters from the quickly-cancelled "Muppet Babies and Monsters".

[disneyfan85]

"We start our second 30 years tomorrow, so rehearsal begins at 9 AM sharp. I'll see you then." HAHAHA! Good one there, Kermit.

[NUTCASE71733]

Speaking of which, was there a 50th year anniversary? 2006 was the 50th year of muppet goodness, and I can't remember if there was one then. Oh well, if there wasn't we'll just wait until 2016 for the 60th anniversary.

[TherealRNO]

NUTCASE: No. The 50th was just a re-release of The Muppets' top-grossing now Disney-owned movies.

[isnotpolle]

the frakles? (Not sure if that is the english name)

I diden't think they were a part of the muppet show, seems i was wrong

[disneyfan85]

That's Fraggles, not "frakles".

[TherealRNO]

ianot:

Everything connected to Jim Henson's vision--Sesame Street, The Muppet Show & Muppet Babies, Little Muppet Monsters, Fraggle Rock, Labryinth, The Dark Crystal, etc.--is celebrated here, because each puppet character brought to life by Jim's genius & his cast of wacky and loveable Muppeteers (and yes, that even includes Kevin Clash's Elmo) is a part of the rainbow-connected legacy Jim paved.

[disneyfan85]

I have the entire show on tape, but it's nice to see someone else put it up for all to see, though.

[ReevaInari]

This finale was classic.

[Batou3]

way to end with an academy award nominiee song.

[shi3]

[mlooshka]

Thanks so much for posting - I haven't seen this in ages!

[rocknroller111]

That's cool when Jim Henson gets the bill from Grover.

[fl1992]

May God Bless Jim Henson- He was such a wonderful person! May he always rest in peace in everlasting life in Heaven. And God Bless his creative Family that keeps his vision going forward!
