Im reading a Jim Henson biography right now and he maintained that he was never concerned with letting the audience in on the fact that these were puppets and seeing the performers was not a deep concern for him. What a brilliant guy he was. For example, here is Ernie and Berts Sesame Street debut sketch. I love that you can see Frank Oz in the bottom right corner operating Bert. (though to be honest, I dont really get the final joke) https://youtube/watch?v=jTgPmSTgbqc
