30 years ago...we lost Jim Henson - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jim Henson, the founder of The Muppets left us on this day in 1990.

I wish there'd be a film about him...I wonder if Jeff Bridges would be the perfect guy to play Jim Henson? And should the working title be called Being Green or Rainbow Connection?

The world lost him far too young. He was definitely a genius, and I can only imagine the countless other unforgettable characters, television programs and movies he would have gifted to the world had he lived longer...

If I remember, I happened to be watching the Wonder Years and they said two big celebrity losses, Jim Henson and Sammy Davis Jr. I probably paid more attention to Henson because I was a big Muppet fan, plus his death was surprising and preventable. It's hard to believe 30 years ago.
