Well, Detroit Institute is kind of a key - probably the largest permanent collection of puppets in the US.

When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.

Let us use this log cabin as a means of looking back.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.

When The Muppet Show ended, we all sat around and said, what kind of television show would we like to do. We felt the need these days are for some quality children's programming.

Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they put me under contract at $100 a week, which to me was really an astronomical price.
