Watched in September 2017
Remember the two Star Wars devoted months? Well, in honor of Jim Henson's birthday this month, I decided to devote the month to not only his work, but his most famous product: the Muppets! (Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas and The Muppet Christmas Carol will be viewed in December, for obvious reasons.) Virtually every (non-Sesame Street) Muppet film from 1979's The Muppet Movie to 2014's Muppets Most Wanted will be covered, as well as a few of his shows including The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock.
