In his work, Jim Henson taught messages of inclusion, diversity, acceptance, love, and silliness.
We try our best to continue those messages.

We are heartbroken to report the passing of Emilio Delgado; best known as Luis Rodriguez on Sesame Street, who joined the series in 1971
Thank you for all of the wonderful memories ❤️
Sesame Street was built on helping educate children in lower income living. To give those less privileged the opportunity to learn before entering preschool.
This nostalgia fueled cash grab goes against that ideology entirely and it’s sickening.
Fozzie and Kermit have an existential crisis 😂
The perfect example of the comedic genius of Jim Henson and Frank Oz.

I’m so glad we’re able to watch this
November 30, 1969: the Muppets appear on The Ed Sullivan Show and perform “Mah Na Mah Na”, which had been sung on Sesame Street only 3 days prior
This version now featured the Snowths, and would be the basis for all future Muppet versions of the song
50 Years of Mahna Mahna ❤️
In 1983, after the passing of Mr. Hooper actor Will Lee, Sesame Street made the decision to be honest with their viewers and explained what had happened: Mr. Hooper had died.

Kermit the Frog was asked about it during an interview on The Late Late Show
During the 90’s, Bear in the Big Blue House and Sesame Street filmed very close to each other
So one day, a familiar face decided to pop by the blue house for some photos 💛💙
I love that this behind the scenes photo from The Great Muppet Caper makes it look like they’re showing the Muppets where to go. 😂🚲

Jim Henson used his work to promote inclusion, diversity, acceptance, love, and silliness.
We need the Muppets more than ever.
