There are a whole lotta puppeteers out there who aren't Jim Henson, you know! And in Jim Henson Presents the World of Puppetry Jim introduces us to some of them, along with their amazing, occasionally nightmarish work.

Episode 2 Playlist This week, we start the experiment that is "the Kermitment" in earnest, as we go back to where it all began: Sam and Friends! Watch in amazement as Jim Henson spins what is basically a public access puppet show into nation-wide fame in like 2 years!
Episode 1 Playlist Hello and welcome to Kermitment! Each week, we'll be watching every piece of Muppet media we can find in chronological order! But for our first episode, we decide to start with what we consider to be the highest heights the Muppets ever reached, 1979's The Muppet Movie. It'll all make sense once you listen! We promise! Thank you so much for listening to our first episode! We look forward to watching Muppets media until we both die at the same exact time.

Picture a Muppet: cute, felty, googly eyes, right? Now what if that Muppet was just a little bit twisted? Still a puppet, but with nasty rubber skin, big teeth, maybe some slime? That, my friends, is a Creature! And we're gonna start seeing a lot of them as Creatures start popping up more and more in non-Henson productions. Productions like Dreamchild, a thouroughly depressing story about the real Alice in Wonderland featuring some thouroughly disturbing Creatures!
