mishalakPart of it is the fact that I'm a maudlin fool who'll cry at the drop of a handkerchief. However nonetheless the first story told by the titular character in The Storyteller was very fine indeed as the less than half hour show had me dripping tears. If I were a parent I would purchase the single disc that contains all nine stories put out by the Jim Henson Company immediately as they are storytelling at its best. Truer than life and twice as wondrous.
I've no doubt that when I finish the last of the 216 minutes I'll be left, once again, to rage at the massive stupidity of network executives. Ah what might have been if only NBC had had any sense back in 1987 and not mucked about with its schedule and so on. Such is the fate for a lot of really good shows. Ah well I still have every bit of it and not having more good television should inspire parents to turn the damn box off and read to their children more.
More fairy tales and less American Idol.
