Tough call. I don't know what my #1 favorite Kermit skit is, but I have a soft spot for the skits from the first season. I'll be willing to say that "Kermit's What-Happens-Next Machine" is up there. My favorite song is "Bein' Green"... my fave being the scene originally done in 1969 in the swamp, my 2nd favorite was with Lena Horne.

Kermit and the little girl singing ABC but girl adds Cookie Monster!!

I can't believe I forgot about that one! That one was another favorite of mine. I read in Carroll Spinney's new book that it was his idea to have kids chat with the muppets un-scripted. I also like the Newsflash skits. I guess, Kermit's just big in life.

My favorite has always been the first season segment where Kermit discusses hair. The dialog is fantastic. "You can brush it with a brush, or you can comb it with a comb." coupled with his constant reminder that "Frogs don't have hair" always cracks me up. Not to mention the part where Kermit mistakes the word "beard" for "BEER". An inside joke for the adults watching I would guess. Top it off with the always scary Beautiful Day Monster making an appearance. He attempts to brush Kermit, which freaks Kermit out so much that he actually LEAPS off camera. Great stuff.

Another favorite is Kermit hosting a lecture on "clues". It ends with Beautiful Day Monster with an umbrella and a suitcase. He's not going on a trip and it isn't raining, the monster plans to eat the umbrella for lunch. Then what's in the suitcase? Ketchup.

I love Kermit's Hair discussion too. Great bit. A few other favorites of mine are Kermit's Long and Short discussion with Grover (ladders), Kermit and Grover's Light And Heavy, and of cousre, all of the other 69 skits.
