If you love the history of Muppets and puppetry, you will read this.
We all skim our friends' pages on livejournal, trying to pick up as much info as we can from our many, many, many pals, chums and compatriots but often not having the time to click and read or view every delightful link offered to us by our fascinating, lively and brilliants friends (yes, that is YOU starring this show).
I ask that you pay attention to this if you are a fan of Jim Henson, (m/p)uppetry or theatre history at all. I knew that The Land of Gorch existed but I knew very little about it. I knew that it was a series of pieces doen for SNL in the 70's and had some racy humor, that's pretty much it.
Through the above link I found a transcript of the whole series. I figured it could be funny and clever as I am an unapologetic freak for anything related to Jim Henson but I didn't expect it to be as similar yet drastically different as it was. I especially did not imagine it would be as moving and depressing as it was.
This site as a whole is a really strange, obsessive analysis of the Muppets in general and a really fascinating read. It is a pretty great way to while away some boredom time with some odd, obsessively thorough information.
