MINI EPISODE #9 - MUPPETS! (PT. 1) with Craig Shemin & Andrew Laposha
Description
The first of a TWO-PART mini-episode on THE MUPPETS!
Muppets historian and author CRAIG SHEMIN plus pop culture fanatic/huge Muppets fan ANDREW LAPOSHA join Dan Fisher for a panel discussion on the history and legacy of Jim Henson’s fuzzy ping-pong-eyed creations and why love ‘em.
PART ONE starts from the very beginning -- from the five-minute local “Sam and Friends” spots through the guest spots on 1960's variety shows, to the phenomenon of Sesame Street, one of the greatest and most influential television shows of all time.
All the big names are here – Kermit, Miss Piggy, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Rowlf, Fozzie Bear, Ernie and Bert, Statler and Waldorf….
PLUS: great moments from all the shows, including stuff that you might not have even known existed.
It's the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational “LET’S TALK TEN” ever!
