Jim Henson's The Cube

I have a newfound appreciation for Jim Henson, especially for his experimental filmmaking, after seeing a collection of his experimental shorts, commercials, and TV appearances at the Hollywood Theater. Never realized how much he did before focusing entirely on his puppeteering work.
For example, in 1969, Henson produced, directed, and co-wrote an hour-long existential teleplay about a man trapped in a white cubical room called The Cube that aired on NBC. It's reminiscent of The Prisoner, and deals with a number of similar themes like alienation, identity, insanity, psychological manipulation and torture, and the fine line between illusion and reality, as well as questions about perception and the nature of reality itself that seem to suggest that life's ultimately a paradox.
Definitely a helluva lot better than the rubbish they show on NBC these days. I highly advise you check it out if you haven't already seen it.
