Muppet productions come in a lot of different flavors, so there are many I favor for different reasons.What's your favorite Muppet production?
Fraggle Rock is in my wholehearted opinion one of, if not the single greatest children's program there is. Strong characterization and writing plus high production values and that signature Muppet whimsy and design make it solid viewing any day.
The 1979 Muppet Movie is a bonafide classic, but of the Muppet movies my personal favorite is The Muppets Take Manhattan. It's the one I saw the most growing up, and it's got a very different feeling to it than most Muppet movies. Lots of great character interactions and especially great scenes with Miss Piggy.
Of course everyone loves Sesame Street and the Muppet Show, but perhaps the third favorite Muppet production(s) I'd choose are the Tales from Muppetland specials. The Muppets were still finding their footing around these times, and each of these specials provide a different flavor of early Muppet weirdness that I love. As an honorable mention along those lines, Tales of the Tinkerdee is a fantastic pilot filled with fast paced humor akin to Stan Freberg records or Rocky and Bullwinkle.
