Happy 50th!
This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Jim Henson Company and plans are underway to celebrate this milestone at local events around the country and with new projects for the millions of viewers who have been inspired by the organization's work and the vision of its founder.
In 1955, Jim Henson premiered his first show, Sam & Friends on Washington DC's WRC-TV, revolutionizing puppetry on television and redefining family entertainment. From that small beginning, a diverse string of the highest quality productions, thousands of memorable characters and cutting-edge technologies became the standard for the business that bears Henson's name and continues his legacy. - Muppet Central
