[Stupid recalcitrant IE, 3rd time I've tried to comment .___. ]
I found "The Works" in my early married life, and it does totally rock. I will have to find the other two you mentioned. I had a bit of a crush on Jim Henson after reading it, though I'm disillusioned with Sesame Street these days. At a garage sale, my mom found a VHS that somebody made of old-school SS and Mr. Rogers and I really enjoy watching the slower-paced, less-Elmo-more-Grover version. Speaking of Mr. Rogers (a children's television hero if there ever was one), you should watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjD3LtozAQk I think all 9 parts are about 4-5 hours total, but I love how REAL he is - the on-screen persona and the real life Mr. Rogers are REALLY the same man. And he treats the interviewer (and anybody he ever MET) as Important and Special. Love this man.
