I was perusing my daily feed of oddball news and came across an interesting article about Jim Henson. I mean, what article about Jim Henson isn't interesting, right? Anyway, Page 5 has a clip and behind the scenes story of a commercial that Henson made for a bread company that involves a muppet and an oncoming train. Though it might be of passing interest.

Quite odd indeed.

1960's?

A lot of weird stuff was produced back then. As a kid, I remember getting worried about some of the strange programs produced by the BBC for kids. Very peculiar a lot of them!
