The Birth of The Muppets | Jim Henson: Heart Felt

To truly tell the story of Henson’s life and career, we have to go all the way back to the beginning: In this inaugural episode, we’ll explore Jim’s early years, through the creation of his first TV show, SAM & FRIENDS (where Kermit the Frog made his first appearance), his groundbreaking commercial work, and the years spent working on THE JIMMY DEAN SHOW.
