Jim Henson was truly too good for this world! No other man contributed to the imaginative art of puppetry quite like he did! He started with a humble puppet show on his local television station back in the 1960s. Sam and Friends was a pretty solid hit and he rolled that success into one of the greatest creative careers in the business. Then, he brought us The Muppet Show, which may be the best television series EVER. He cooked up great characters like Kermit the Frog, Rowlf, the piano playing dog, and all the other puppets used in the show. But he didn’t stop there. Jim went on to create one of the most imaginative movies ever made, The Dark Crystal.
