    What are the greatest Muppet Movie Moments

    Wow, that sounds like a really fun paper! A few suggestions of seminal Muppet moments: 1. Kermit singing "Rainbow Connection" at the beginning of The Muppet Movie. 2. Kermit and friends find the other end of the rainbow at the end of The Muppet Movie 3. Miss Piggy's parody of an Esther...

    What's your most prized Muppet item?

    Wow, you guys have some cool stuff! My most prized Muppet items are: The cassettes of the Muppet Show cast album, volumes 1 & 2 that I had as a kid. I must have listened to them thousands of times. A tin featuring pictures of Kermit, Piggy, and the gang as high school students (the lid...

    How old is everyone?

    I'm a Muppet Show age--27. I'm surprised to see so many young teenage whippersnappers here!:D

    Kermit too nice....

    I think that if Kermit seems more "nice" or normal than the other Muppets, it's because he's intended to be more of an Everyman (oops, Everyfrog). Kermit's the regular guy the audience can relate to in the face of all of the Muppet weirdness and wackiness. How many times has our heroic frog...

    Favorite Muppet movie scenes?

    Muppet Movie: Let's not forget Steve Martin tasting the wine Kermit orders, spitting it across the room and proclaiming it an "excellent choice." Muppet Caper: Totally agree on the scene where Piggy gives Kermit a tour of John Cleese's house. "I'm sure there's a bathroom and everything."...

    Vote for the Weezer and Muppets video on MTV!!!

    I'd just like to say that I LOVE that video. My favorite part is watching the guys in the band trying not to crack up at the Muppet antics.

    Which Miss Piggy do you guys like the best?

    I like her current look, as seen in the Weezer video. I think she looks just like Kim Cattral on Sex & The City. In fact, the more I think about it, the more Miss Piggy reminds me of a G-rated version of Samantha!

    Muppet Vision 3D

    The coolest thing to me was that the theater was a mock-up of the Muppet Show Theater. I didn't know that it was going to be like that, so when I first walked in, I just gasped. It was like walking into my own imagination. Seconds after the show was over, I ran into a "Kermit" character and...

    Favorite muppet

    My favorite, as you might guess, is Gonzo. I think he really embodies much of the silliness that makes the Muppets great. I also have soft spots for Kermit (I agree--center of the Muppet Universe) and Fozzie (endearingly insecure). As for minor players, I love Pepe, Statler & Waldorf, and...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    1. Gonzo's loneliness in Muppets from Space. Sure, not the best of their movies, but there were some great moments in it. 2. The moment in The Muppet Movie at the very end with the rainbow coming through the wrecked set. Beautiful. My happiest Muppet memory was as a kid when Mark...

    Which Fraggle are you?

    I was Gobo for #1, but I think that I am truly more like my #2, Red! Wembly and Boober are probably the funniest, though. A more interesting question: which GORG are you?
