Toss the Muppet movies and a dizzying array ot

and it’s possible to suggest, as’his company’s press kit
does, that Henson is the single. most popular entertain

Henson’s efforts are indeed enjoyed daily around
the globe, and he has received so many awards that
everyone has practically forgotyen some of the nagging

criticisms of his work — namely, that his shows do not
“educate"’ children about much besides television.

Perhaps-on-briday;-however,-some of these-old
doubis will return with the premiere of The Jini Hensor
Hour, a family-oriented “electronic variety show’
beginning a 13-week ruri on NBC.

The network, of course, sees Henson as a prize cat
ch — a way to fix its abysmal Friday night ratings, and a
way to skim offa share of his reputation for quality

Indeed, the hype for the Henson Hour bursts forth
from the publicity material: ‘television of the unexpec

technology in network series history ... a show that's
family entertainment with cutting edge humor
