EM.TV, a German company, has acquired 100% of The Jim Henson Company. “EM.TV is the world market leader in family and children’s programming and the European market leader in merchandising.” I guess I feel much nostalgia to be “losing” Kermit & Co to a bigger fish. But I’m sure the Hensons are probably thrilled to pieces over the $680 million deal. I watched The Muppet Show every week it was on, went to all the movies with my best friend, and sang along with the albums. How many of you sang “The Rainbow Connection” in plaintive little kiddie voices during elementary school choir? One of my favorite sketches is The Rhyming Song. Why? ‘Cuz it doesn’t rhyme. Ha!
