Hello everyone.  My name is Andrew, and I have been fond of the Muppets all my life.  A lot of the television I watched in my childhood consisted of programs like Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, and Fraggle Rock  (although since Fraggle Rock was shown on HBO, I rarely got to see it).  Of all of these, I've always had a special fondness for Sesame Street:  It was an entertaining and informative program back when I watched it in the late '80s, I owned a number of related books, and I credit some of the knowledge I gained to watching the show.  I've lurked here for a number of weeks, always highly impressed by what I read and saw, and finally decided to register today.
