Favorite Jerry Nelson Character

[Twisted Tails]

I would say Gobo and Emmet Otter are my top Jerry Nelson characters. But I do like Robin and The Count and the Trash Heap, too. Floyd ranks up there with Gobo and Emmet.

Me too! My mom (Jane) loved the Count and Snuffy when he said, "Hello, Bird!" She will really miss too. Also, I LOVE Floyd and the laugh he gave to that cool dude.

My list would be:
1. Gobo Fraggle
2. Robin the Frog
3. Floyd
4. Emmet Otter (however I better see the special by December I guess)
5. Majory, the Trash Heap
6. The Count (that's one one Count ah ah ah!)

Ever since I first saw him as a lad, Crazy Harry has stuck out in my mind like the deranged lunatic he is. I also always thought he was the scariest and most menacing of the Muppets, and recall having a nightmare about him as a child. He defaced a national monument in the last movie; shouldn't that put him on the FBI's 10 most wanted list or something?

Floyd, fer sure. He's been my favorite since I was little, and influenced me to pick up the bass guitar.

Yeah! I liked the space frog - I mean Robin. Ahem! Robin has been my favorite for I don't know like for all of my life. He's cute too!

Jerry also performed Statler during the pilot episodes of TMS (1975), and took over the role from 1992-2003 after Richard Hunt passed away in 1992.

Marjory is my favorite. I think it's funny that Drtooth mentioned her and Dr. Strangepork in the same post because they both have the same voice.

I should note Robin would've been my second choice and while I love them all Gobo has a special place for me because it was really Fraggle Rock that brought me into the world of Jim Henson as a child. I didn't get into Muppets till I was a little older. So thanks Jerry for teaching me how to dance my cares away.

I just finished watching The Great Muppet Caper, and even though Louis Kazagger (the Muppet sportscaster) had a considerable bit of dialogue during the big scene where the Muppets stop Nicky and the thieves from stealing Lady Holiday's Baseball Diamond, his name was omitted from the cast of Muppets voiced by Jerry Nelson.

And Peter Falk also had an uncredited cameo role as well....

I voted for Gobo as my favorite, but Robin and Floyd were very close seconds.
