Growing up I had many toys, movies, etc. whenever I wanted but most of my favorites all were connected to Jim Henson somehow. :)
I mean who (around the age of 30) hasn't seen Labrynth, Fraggle Rock, Dark Crystal or Sesame Street? Did you ever watch the Muppet Hour? I did!!! I used to come home from school and run to the TV to watch Fraggle Rock... The Doozers, Trash Heap, Sprocket, The Fraggles themselves, the Gorgs. Ah, I miss the Fraggles.....
and my parents thought Sesame Street was so entertaining. I mean, heck, it's still on today!!! 
Oh and The Muppet Show? and the Muppet Movies? Who didn't love those cranky old men in the balcony? Of course, you can't forget the movies either. Labrynth is still one of my favorites today and I watch it all the time.
Yeah, Jim Henson was an intrigal part of growing up. Whenever I start thinking of my childhood I like remembering Jim Henson and his brilliance. I know his company is still around today creating great new things but I will always remember Kermit singing "It's Not Easy Being Green"
"My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here" ~ Jim Henson
