My favorite Cristmas movie is “The Muppet Christmas Carol”.
Muppets: Animal
Sesame Street: Cookie Monster
Muppet Babies: Animal and Gonzo
Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99.
Semper Ubi Sub Ubi
Fozzie: Kermit, why did the chicken cross the road?
Kermit: To get away from your jokes, no doubt.
Muppets Christmas Carol is truly a classic.
If you have toddlers, or even if you don’t, watch Treasure Island. Tim Curry is such a ham and all the favorites mentioned here ( well, nearly) have excellent parts.
I am waiting for the chance to watch
" Muppets in Space. " I know I will end up buying it.
My favorite, Yoda is.
Care not, I do, if counts as a Muppet, does he.

Favorite muppet, Animal, Bunsen HoneyDew, and Kermit. Clifford is cool as well. Hell, all of them are cool.
And if talking about Jim Henson, well all I can do is point to… http://www.izzy.net/~tomsmith/lyrics/boyfrog.htm
One of the best tribute songs I’ve ever heard.

One mid-morning I’m driving in to a project I was working on in a little town in New Brunswick. Evidently in this part of Canada the majority are Francophones so the cable TV is in French and they simulcast in English on the radio, at least for the public TV channels.
I nearly drove off the road when I realized I was listening to Sesame Street on my car radio:
"Hello, this is Alistair Cookie, for Monsterpiece Theater.
This week, Monsterpiece Theater is proud to present William Shakespeare’s HAMLET. Hamlet is prince of Denmark, which make him Danish.
Me love Danish. Especially… PRUNE DANISH !
MMMGMMMNGGGG MNUNGH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH !!!"
Two favorite moments ever:
- Steve Martin as a waiter: “Sir, would you like to smell the bottle-cap?”
- Boba-Fett-like texan bounty hunter: “Ah Ke-el frawgs.”
Sam the eagle (after Sam Donaldson, fer you yung’ns) is damn funny as well. I’ve spent hours of my life trying to repeat a sufficiently swedish-chef like sentence (bork bork bork!).
My favorite Muppet Show episode has got to be the one where show writer Chris Langham was the guest star.
Chris: “Do you believe in Fondu?”
Sam: “Well, I know it exists.”
Chris: “I believe in Fondu, too. Everyone who looks deep in their hearts is sure to find melted cheese.”
I own the video of Muppet Classic Fairy Tales and in the “Rumplestiltskin” story, the Muppets all sing this song called, “Gotta Get That Name.”
Well, there is this weasel in the very front who is singing and during the regular parts of the song, he is looking at the camera and singing. Then the Muppets sing the fast part of the song that goes, “Gotta-get-that-name-gotta-get-that-name-gotta-get-that-name…” and the weasel puts his head down and shakes it violently from side to side and his skinny little arms are flailing all around and it is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I have watched that video about 20 times and every time, I have to pick myself up off the floor and wipe the tears from my eyes when it is over.
I guess you just have to see it for yourself.
