    Favorite version of The Rainbow Connection

    My favorite versions of the song are the original one from The Muppet Movie, also the one with all the Muppets on A Celebration of 30 Years at the end of the special.I do like The Carpenters version a lot, too. I made a Jim Henson tribute with that version of the song, but I have yet to upload...

    What's the first Muppets-related thing you seen?

    The first Muppet related thing is a video my parents recorded for me when I was little, it has four episodes of Sesame Street from the early 1990s. Then I had both "It's the Muppets" videos and I would watch the videos over and over again.

    How can someone hate Elmo?

    I'm not a huge fan of Elmo myself, but I do like the fact that other characters share the spotlight every once in a while. I do admit, Kevin Clash brings plenty of funny moments as Elmo, but I don't like the fact that Elmo seems to get more attention than the other characters on the show. I...

    Favorite Jerry Nelson Character

    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. :sing:

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Scooter289, I loved your video tribute of Jerry. Using one of his original songs and listing most of the characters he performed was a fantastic idea!

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Yes, zns. I did hear that recording over YouTube. I had no idea the Muppeteers put together something like that for Jerry for his birthday! I bet he was very surprised when he heard the song sung by his friends and their characters. I think right no, they're missing him a lot. At least, they'll...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I'm crushed! I knew it would happen eventually, but not this soon. I loved his voice and his spirit so much. One thing's for sure, his voice will never be forgotten. He was faithful to his friends and colleagues right to the end. RIP Jerry, the world will miss you.

    If they could sing now...

    I always thought that any song by James Taylor would be a good fit for Gobo like "Fire and Rain" or "You can close your eyes" with the other fraggles singing in harmony with him in other song by James Taylor.

    I'm liking where this is going so far. Nice work with breaking the fourth wall numerous times. Keep up the good work!

    Frank Oz's Wedding

    That's terrific! Of course, I was unaware of his first wife and that he was getting married again. Anyway, congratulations, Frank! I wish you and your wife many happy years together.:)

    Who is your Fave Sesame Street Muppet?

    It's hard to choose, but I like Grover, Big Bird and The Count a lot, but Ernie and Bert are my #1 favorites.

    Favorite Muppet Television Special

    I liked both of the John Denver specials, too. But my favorites are The Muppets go to the Movies, The Muppet's 30 year celebration, The Muppets at Walt Disney World, The Muppets celebrate Jim Henson and my very favorite out of all of them is A Muppet Family Christmas.

    Frank Oz: "New Muppets Too Cute"

    I definitely don't think the Muppets are "too cute". When Frank's first opinion on the movie came out before the movie, I was a little skeptical, meaning that maybe or maybe not that Frank was right, but I liked the movie a lot, although some parts the movie could've done without. The Muppets...

    Shooting at showing of 'Dark Knight Rises'

    I've said this before, I don't understand people like this anymore or why they do these things. I hate the fact that violence this bad and people like that roam free. Of course, the biggest question is "Why?". Think about the other major shootings in the country, you think the same question...
