Jim Henson made this film in 1963 for The Bell System. Specifically, it was made for an elite seminar given for business owners, on the then-brand-new topic — Data Communications. The seminar itself involved a lot of films and multimedia presentations, and took place in Chicago. A lengthy description of the planning of the Bell Data Communications Seminar — sans a mention of the Henson involvement — is on the blog of Inpro co-founder Jack Byrne. It later was renamed the Bell Business Communications Seminar.
The organizers of the seminar, Inpro, actually set the tone for the film in a three-page memo from one of Inpro's principals, Ted Mills to Henson. Mills outlined the nascent, but growing relationship between man and machine: a relationship not without tension and resentment: "He [the robot] is sure that All Men Basically Want to Play Golf, and not run businesses — if he can do it better." (Mills also later designed the ride for the Bell System at the 1964 World's Fair.) Henson's execution is not only true to Mills' vision, but he also puts his own unique, irreverent spin on the material.
The robot narrator used in this film had previously starred in a skit for a food fair in Germany (video is silent), in 1961. It also may be the same robot that appeared on the Mike Douglas Show in 1966. Henson created a different — but similar — robot for the SKF Industries pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair.
This film was found in the AT&T Archives. Thanks go to Karen Falk of the Henson Archives for providing help and supporting documentation to prove that it was, indeed, a Henson production..

This is a Peanuts Medley that Jon Schmidt arranged for Piano, along with Steven Sharp Nelson on the Cello. We thought it would be fun to do an inpromto concert for our favorite audience, and it was a blast. We hope you enjoy it in the spirit in which it is given. We had a blast and met some incredible people at Stirling Court in St. George, Utah.

YouTube captions always write a hilarious script. Comment Question: What's your favorite line?
EXCLUSIVE Behind the Scenes: http://rhettandlink.com/blog/?p=5517
Watch ALL our Caption Fails: http://bit.ly/tEF4s1
HOW DOES IT WORK? We write an original script, then read that and let YouTube generate captions. That becomes the script for round 2. Then, the captions for round 2's script become the script for round 3.
