This heartbreaking special honoring thIe late, great Jim Henson originally aired in November 1990 -- 6 months after his sudden, unexpected death.

I still remember watching this special as it aired. It made me cry, and the ending still chokes me up after all these years.

This special features Steve Whitmire's very first performance as Kermit the Frog, a role he was handpicked to inherited from Jim Henson himself.

The ending of this special is legendary. All hail Kermit. RIP Jim Henson.
