Favorite Muppet?
This is a tough one, but I would have to say Grover. No other Jim Henson creation could have demonstrated the subtle difference between "Near" and "Far" so elegantly and succinctly.

12. Grover's fantastic, but I have to give it to Kermit.
He's a natural leader, though he modestly resists it, he's funny, smart and adorable. How can I not love him. And he's a singer? :swoon:

18. Yes, she does. I think she was named after Janice Joplin.
:shrug: She talks like a California girl, though. "For sure" and such like...

19. Possibly
But I always thought she looked like Suzanne Somers. Not that Somers has any musical talent (that I'm aware of), I just thought the physical resemblance was striking. However, I was a kid when "The Muppet Show" was on the air, and I think that was the same time when "Three's Company" was popular, so maybe that's why I made that connection.

:shrug:

28. So many!
I like Grover, if you mean Sesame Street
Dr. Teeth, Gonzo, or maybe Link from the Muppet Show/movies
And what about Fraggle Rock? Convincing John, Gobo, Traveling Matt? Is there a bad Muppet?
