TV Bites: Jim Henson Puppets to Dabble in Alcohol and Adult Humor
· File this under odd television projects: The Game Show Network is teaming up with the Jim Henson Company for a raunchy game show called Late Night Liars. The comedy will be hosted by Larry Miller and will feature two human contestants competing somehow against four "celebrity puppets" who enjoy cocktails and decidedly adult humor. In case you were wondering, the puppets' names are Shelley Oceans, William A. Mummy, Cashmere Ramada and Sir Sebastian Simian. The series premieres June 10. [The Wrap]
Debra Winger finds a television shrink, the Lost finale monster grows another half hour, and more TV Bites after the jump.
· After guest-starring on an episode of Law & Order earlier this year, Debra Winger continues to add onto her television resume with a regular role on HBO's In Treatment. The three-time Oscar nominee will play a former star suffering an anxiety crisis about her career. [Deadline]
· ABC has tacked on another half hour to Lost's series finale, set to air on Sunday May 23. [THR]
· If Private Practice suddenly becomes watchable, credit the show's new co-head writers: Steve Blackman and Craig Turk. [THR]
· The Real Housewives of New Jersey helped Bravo achieve its highest-rated Monday night in the network's history -- without a single table flip. [The Wrap]

Hi Mr. Henson:
The puppets could use a Brand NEW toy as a prop in your Alcohol and Adult Humor project. My brand NEW educational learning brain teaser "NorthStar Puzzle", would be a perfect fit for children and older mature adults over the age of 6 to ponder.
This isn't the "Rubrics Cube", much simpler only 5 pieces, but you must think about constructing any of the three stand-alone shapes. It will show how any Alcohol consumption will effect your ability to concentrate or have success with assembly of this simple puzzle. Try it ! you will like it !

I've been dead a long time, but your product seems like a PERFECT prop for my Alcohol and Adult Humor project! Thanks

Trying to achieve a balance between giving all the necessary information on your background, while keeping to the point, should be your main aim when selecting what to include and what to omit. Ensure that the highlights of your career are exactly that - highlights and not lost in a mass of irrelevant text.
