A childhood favorite of mine. My parents used to rent this and "Race for Your Life Charlie Brown" for my sisters and me back when they had an RCA Selectavision. btw, I never realized that the chicken was Gonzo's girlfriend.

Jim Henson was probably the only good thing to come out of the University of Maryland.

Quote :

"Henson's wife Jane, from whom he was separated, came to visit and sat with him talking throughout the evening. By 2 a.m. on May 15, 1990 he was having trouble breathing and began coughing up blood. He suggested to Jane that he might be dying, but did not want to bother going to the hospital."
