His name is Clifford. And yeah, he’s way cool.
Oh yeah, they’re Muppets. Sesame Street is where the Muppets got famous (Kermit got his start on another old variety show–can’t remember which one, though. Maybe PRNYouth knows?)
I would be right along with Democritus and heckle everyone. Although in real life I do this in front of the people I heckle always hoping they will understand that I’m just teasing.
Kermit’s genesis was on the show Sam and Friends, but that was before he was clearly identified as a frog. For most (all?) of the show’s run, he lacked the “collar” of light green pointy stuff around his neck and was just a lizardy-thing.
As I preview this, I notice that Juniper200 beat me to it, but I’ll post anyway. A pre-frog Kermit got his start on a program called Sam and Friends Jim Henson did on a DC-area station. Kermit was sans the nifty pointed collar, and often lip-synched to records with a very different voice, but it was his start in show-business. Sesame Street was his big break, though. What I’m not sure of is how early he was identified as a frog on Sesame Street. He was clearly a frog by 1972, though, when he starred in The Frog Prince. (Robin was the prince, not Kermit, but Kermit was still clearly a frog.) What you may have been thinking of, Persephone, was Rowlf the Dog, who was the first Muppet to receive national exposure, and that was on the old Jimmy Dean variety show.
Gonzo’s girlfriend was Camilla the Chicken. There wasn’t much mention of her in the recent Muppets From Space, though. I suspect fowl play. 
Muppet cop, at your service. 
I can relate deeply to ** The Swedish Chef **.
Reminiscing … turtle neck soup … nut cutlets … chocolate moose … Oh dear, if I’d laughed any more I’d have gone from incoherent to incontinent!
Another vote for Fozzy, I sympathise with him trying gamely even though he was the worst comic with the worst jokes, he always plugged away…either that or Link Hearthrob…I always wonder if William Shatner recognized himself…

Sometimes I feel just like Beaker… but feminine 
I’d be Gonzo with a big heaping of self esteem. He always seemed so insecure… Uhm, anyone else got a clue which muppet I’d be? I’m stumped.
I’d be a mutation of Kermit (regular-Joe under pressure), Scooter (efficient, but overlooked) and Beaker (always wondering what the hell I’m doing here). Also, I used to have Beaker-like hair.
I like Kermit best, but I’d hate to be green. It’s just not good on me.
Maybe one of the exotic yellow and black varieties.
Animal or Cookie Monster or a combination of the two.
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me!
I’d probably be grover, but a girl. I do have the tendency to be over enthusiastic and jumpy and bouncy and spazz about little things. At least outwardly I’m so grover, all out going and cheery and stuff.

YES! Thank you, PRNY! That is indeed what I was thinking of! Dang. I love it when Dopers get psychic!
I was trying to remember her name, too, but it was escaping me.
Oh, IMHO, the opening scene from Muppets from Space is one of the all-time best pieces of Muppet choreography, ever.

I’m Canadian, and I can be just a bit just a bit indecisive
at times.
Okay, completely fraught with doubt.
You do realize that half the characters you people are mentioning are not Muppets, but Sesame Street. They are not the same thing.
That being said, I kinda like Fozzie. “Wokka wokka wokka” 
You forget The Muppet Family Christmas,

Which clearly demonstrates that Muppets, Fraggles, and
everyone from Sesame Street exist in the same universe.
No, I don’t need to go out and get a life.
How are they not the same?? The OP is not referring to “The Muppet Show” specifically. Muppets are found on “Sesame Street”, “The Muppet Show” and its various movies, “Fraggle Rock”, etc. Most are the ‘half-bodied, wires-from-below-connected-to-the-arms’ puppets that we know and love. Others like Sweetums, Big Bird, and Snuffletc. are full costumed charaters, but still fall under the generic ‘Muppet’ heading (the trademark/copyright symbol eludes me). (When the Muppet 3D attraction was slated to open at Disney MGM, [around the time of Jim Henson’s death, IIRC], there was quite a uproar regarding trademarks and rights and definition of “muppet” between the Henson Corporation and Disney.)
A Sesame Street muppet character is still a Muppet.
A Fraggle Rock muppet character is still a Muppet.
[sub]Gah, I am tired, I canot believe I am debating the intrisic qualities of a muppet.[/sub]
Myself - dunno - part “Sam the Eagle”, part “Bunsen Honeydew”
I think I relate to Ernie more than any other Muppet–I even laugh like him sometimes when I’ve done something rather sneaky! Plus, I have a shirt just like his! Also, I detailed it here before but my favorite Muppet still has to be the weasel from Muppet Classic Fairy Tales–sometimes I feel like him/her!
Kermit, I suppose.
Actually, I’d like to be his little nephew Robin. “I’m five…”
:eek:
then where the f*ck did i get Bernice?? this is weird…
