Such a great read. Long, but really great.

Was kind of hoping they’d mention how the Jim Henson team got into jumping to Farscape.

I also wish they’d do more muppets movies like Christmas Carol or Treasure Island.

Muppet Christ Carol and Muppet Treasure Island are both such bangers

I once told someone I was raised by The Muppets and video games and they said "You have a very Muppets sense of humour" and it's one of my happiest memories.
