Purchase options and add-ons

Long before Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, college students Jim Henson and Jane Nebel created a long-running daily local Washington, D.C. television program called Sam and Friends, where Jim developed his unique approach to comedy and introduced the world to a puppet named Kermit.


In this book, President of The Jim Henson Legacy and author of The Muppets Character Encyclopedia, Craig Shemin, explores the story behind Sam and Friends and creates an episode guide from surviving scripts and recordings.


Includes a foreword by longtime Henson collaborator Frank Oz, several complete scripts and more than 150 rare photos from The Jim Henson Company Archives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Throws a microscope on Jim Henson, his wife Jane, and the early days of the Muppets.

An excellent book detailing the earliest work of Jim Hensons career. The book is full of history, not just about Henson but about quite a bit of the entertainment industry at the time.

Ripping edges. The cut of the paper back is on a weird angle only in one corner

An amazing book: extremely well researched into a time of Jim and Jane Henson’s career that is often a footnote, but contains some of their best creative imoutout. Bravo!
