prevnextOh my God! The #MacysThanksgivingDayParade hosts just called Jim Henson “Jim Henderson!” Are you kidding me?! What more did the guy need to contribute to American pop culture history for them to remember his name?!

'The Puppet Show'
Many creative viewers took the gaffe as a chance to come up with some creative off-brand Henson creations to attribute to Henderson.
Everyone knows Jim Henderson created the Morppets, not the Muppets. https://t.co/6T3nA3ZM9A

'Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Night of the Lights Holiday Special'
If all this Muppets talk has you in the mood to get down with Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey and Boober, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Night of the Lights Holiday Special is streaming now on Apple TV+. Our Fraggily friends have returned for all-new adventures about the magic we create when we "celebrate and care for our interconnected world."
"It's the Night of the Lights, the most Fraggily holiday of the year, and the Rock is filled with songs and cheer," Apple TV+ teases. "When Jamdolin (voiced by Emmy Award nominee Daveed Diggs, "Hamilton") encourages Wembley to make a special wish, the Fraggles head out on an adventure to find the brightest light and, maybe, the true meaning of the holiday.
