Tough choice. Lately my favorite Jerry character has been The Trash Heap, but all of his characters were wonderful. Even little one-shots or Anything People. :')
It's sad that he passed away, but he lived a great life. One to remember through and through.

Robin and Gobo... I'd probably rank Gobo second, though, for the reason that I've "known" Robin since I was a child but I've only gotten into Fraggle Rock within the last year. (It really is hard to choose a favorite, I must add!)

Thinking about it now, Herry (who isn't listed as an option) seems to epitomise so many of Jerry's characters: Bold and potentially-intimidating, but always displaying a sweetness, a weakness, a vulnerability that makes the character endure.

Sorry guys, for some reason there's just so many characters he performed, some (like Herry and Uncle Deadly) had just slipped my mind at the moment. :oops:

I'd go with The Count since it was the first character of Mr. Nelson's I was introduced to as a child. Though I have gotta admit...WOW, looking at this list...and not counting other characters he did (Herry Monster, anyone), Mr. Nelson had a wide and diverse range of characters. Quite impressive.

I said Gobo because I was more into The Fraggles as a kid then The Muppets.

First of all, hi, I'm new! Second of all, when I was little the Count was one of my favourite parts of Sesame Street. Robin's adorable and Floyd's AWESOME! So, probably the three of them.
