I was lucky enough to be born in 1970 – which put me at just the right age to enjoy the golden age of Sesame Street and the Muppet Show. This documentary was shot in 1980, a year before the show went off the air and offers an amazing glimpse of the masters at work.

“The documentary features appearances by Muppet Show performers Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kathryn Mullen, Steve Whitmire, and Brian Muehl; writers Jerry Juhl, Don Hinkley, David Odell, and Chris Langham; director Peter Harris; producer David Lazer; and guest stars Roger Moore and Raquel Welch”
