I’ve been a fan of the Muppets and other Henson creations since I was a kid. Henson and has crew during his lifetime were one of the most consistantly creative groups in the entertainment industry. Today the spirit of the company still shines with projects like Mirrormask and Farscape. Over on Metafilter somebody posted a project they did for IBM, and then in general for other businesses, called the “Muppet Meeting Films.” I hadn’t hear of this project before and it looks hilarious, wish I could access these somehow, maybe on DVD in the future. There in one on YouTube below. It’s a reinactment done on the Ed Sullivan Show, but aparently it’s still the same basic skit. Some of the best technobabble I’ve hear outside of Star Trek.
