Say what you will about MT!, but Crainaic was IMHO the best new character that was introduced on that show. It took a lot of guts to remake a Pig In Space-esque sketch, but somehow Crainiac made it all seem worth it. I mean, his design is by far the most creative by Muppet standards; a purple brain with a mouth as a head? Genius! So, who else digs Crainiac?

I really like Craniac. He was the best character from the new Pigs in Space. The other characters from that segment were boring-looking in my opinion.

I've been thinking lately about Crainiac's voice, which was done by Kevin Clash. I believe it was the same voice he used for Father Bunny in TALE OF THE BUNNY PICNIC. I think it's very important to remember how versatile a performer Kevin is beyond his performance of Elmo.
