Oh…so many to choose from…I was a HUGE muppet fan as a kid. In fact, I very nearly bought a Muppet Show DVD at Best Buy today. Ah, memories. I _still_ get a chuckle thinking about Gonzo tooting his trumpet and exploding. ---

I’m a big Electric Mayhem fan. My Favorite? It’s a toss-up between [Floyd Pepper](http://www.bunnybass.com/e-zine/pictures/basswars/floyd_pepper.jpg) and [Janice](http://www.mwctoys.com/images/review_bmuppets_1a.jpg). I was Floyd for a Muppet themed costume party once. ---

Oh, Animal, definitely! (My favorite Animal moment–Rockin’ Robin. “Love to hear the robin go…” “TWEET, TWEET, _TWEET_!”) ---

Gotta be Gonzo. Especially in how they’d evolved the character for the movies lately. Gonzo is the adult-mind leader of the band. Rizzo: “This is kind of scary. Shouuld we be worried for the kids?” Gonzo: “Nah. It’s culture.” ---

Fozzy, Animal, Gonzo, Swedish Chef, Bunsen and Beaker. ---

[Scred](http://www.muppetcentral.com/_images/muppets/scred_snl.gif), from Saturday Night Live. For a look at why, see the scripts for [The Land of Gorch](http://www.toughpigs.com/anthgorcha00.htm) (warning: contains hot Muppet sex!). Runner up is The Mighty Flavog, also of Gorch. Of Muppets you’ve ever heard of, it’d be Gonzo. ---

Grover. He’s just so adorable and sweet. From The Muppet Show, my fav is Gonzo. ---

Definitely Animal. He’s most inspiring. Beaker. We ended up naming a Cockatoo after him. Dr. Teeth Rowlf. Never felt like he got the respect he deserved. I never, ever had a love for Fozzie. Even at age 7 his comedy wasn’t appealing. I remember wanting to yell at the TV “You’re not funny, not at all!” ---

Kermit. I always admired his relative composure in the midst of the backstage chaos that was the Muppet Show. I confess that I never really understood his interspecies romance with Miss Piggy though. I guess there’s no accounting for a frog in love. ---

Kermit. Kermit’s the Man. Or the Frog. ---

I’m a Kermit woman. Actually, one of the things that favorably impressed me about DangerDad was that he does a great Kermit impression. He does Grover/Yoda and some others too, but Kermit’s the hardest. ---
