Remembering Jim Henson for his humor, his creativity, his gentleness and all the wonderful memories he gave me...

P.S. He would have been 73 today.

He is sadly missed, but his wonderful legacy continues to live on.

Jim Henson may be gone but he certainly isn't forgotten and won't be as long as his Muppets continue to entertain and educate us.

I bet he'd be pleased with how much the Muppets popularity has increased since he first created them. He is very, very missed!

That's right - I have the first three seasons on DVD and my three-year-old nephew adores them. Especially Gonzo.

Mr. Henson, you are still sorely missed.

He is sooooooooooooooooooooo missed. RIP Mr. Henson.

TripperFan · 09-28-2009, 11:26 PM

Wow, he really was younger than I remember to think he'd only be 63 now.

Yes, his genius is sorely missed. I wish I could get reruns of Fraggle Rock.

As Retro4Life pointed out, Jim Henson would have been 73 this year not 63. Brian needs to work on his math!

angiefan · 12-01-2009, 06:15 PM

he would've been 73,he was born in 1936. My parents are 63,He was not born in the 1940s with my parents.It's hard to imagine Jim Henson at that age.I wonder what he would say to Crank Yankers,Avenue Q,and Family Guy making Fun of Sesame Street. Merry Christmas!

He's still remembered today, The Muppets even have their own rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" which had 6,000,000 (or something) hits....
