Do you mind if I ask a question?

Were you inspired by Jim Henson?
That guy was a genius! May he RIP.
I also loved Frank Oz. Those two were so good together.
Here's a link to Kermit...now in the Smithsonian.

My sons and I shared so many laughs together. |
I loved "The Muppet Show." And I agree he was a genius. I'm sure he influences my writing for kids. How could he not; I grew up on his stuff!
Originally we had planned to use some store-purchased bison puppets, but they don't seem to make any anymore, so I said, "We'll use sock puppets! Sock puppets- always funny." and went from there.
T3B- the Julliard bit was one we came up with while shooting. I'm always amenable to rewriting right up until the end.
Glad you liked it-- tonight at a party I'm going to see the actor who did that bit and I'll mention to him you quoted his line- he'll be delighted.
