Hey, Kermit will be referenced on TV Land's 50 Greatest TV Icons on November 16th. It will show a clip of him playing the banjo.
Just a clip of him playing the banjo? Well, I guess that clip wil be from The Muppet Movie, but maybe it will be from The Mupets at Walt Disney World or the Debbie Harry episode of The Mupet Show (since it's TV icons it should be a clip from a TV production).Hey, Kermit will be referenced on TV Land's 50 Greatest TV Icons on November 16th.

I have viewed Entertainment Weekly as pretty much a tabloid rag with off-the-mark reviews and editorials for several years now. It's almost the flip side of my taste. I expect them to implement the gross overuse of the color pink and exclamation points (Us Weekly, People, Stuff Magazine etc) very soon! But, on listing Kermit, they got it right. He is number 21, but they do have some good names in the 1-20 spots. The EW site is irritating to navigate, (probably to get users to buy the magazine) but I did jot down a few spots.
1 Johnny Carson
2 Lucille Ball
3 Oprah
9 Homer Simpson
21 Kermit the Frog
The absence of Big Bird is disappointing. I don't remember seeing Jackie Gleason's name, but could be wrong about that. Many people seemed to be missing, however I do applaud them for not just peeling the names off this week's guest list for Dancing with the Stars as appears to be the practice for other articles.
It sort of reminds me of the Oscars when they do the montage of people in the entertainment industry who have passed away in the last year. If the audience hasn't heard of a person, they don't applaud. Which I find very rude and arrogant. Everyone will die someday, and those people should be setting a good example now by applauding for everybody.but all and all, another weak, pathetic "best of what us youngsters that think we're so hip" lists.
