QotD: Celebrational Muppetational!

My favorite Muppet? Kermit, of course. It ain't easy being green.

Kermit is smart. He's sensible. He keeps a cool head in the midst of craziness. He has a great sense of humor. He's self-depricating. He's organized. He's talented. And he's a frog.

I guess I love him mostly because he's the first Muppet I remember knowing. I can remember watching Sesame Street in the early seventies. I always hated Big Bird. I liked Oscar okay, and Ernie, but was sort of non-plussed by everyone else besides Kermit. I loved Kermit. And when the Muppet Show came along, I was hooked!

I can remember when my father took me to see The Muppet Movie. I loved it. I made him take me a couple more times that year that I was seven. (Remember: films played much longer then. There were no VCRs, so it wasn't unheard of for a film to stick around in theaters for months, or even a year.)

And don't forget my collection of Sesame Street Video Clips at my main site. Still very popular!
