Kermit is also in "Elmo's Sing-Along Guessing Game" and he sings "I Love My Elbows" and "Get Along". ("Get Along" is also on the "What's the Name of That Song?" video)
Kermit also shows up a bunch in "I'm Glad I'm Me" (an excellent video by the way)
Kermit talks about hands in one skit, Kermit shows us an X-ray of Herry's body on another, and he also sings his classic song "It's Not Easy Being Green" (the later 1970s version- I believe the original SS version is seen on the 25th. Anniversary video)
Kermit is also on "Elmopalooza"- he sings "Caribbean Amphibian" although the video is not the one seen on Sesame Street. He is also there in his reporter role at the start of the video.
Kermit is also on the "Friends to the Rescue" video, in his reporter role, reporting on the hurricane coming to Sesame Street.
Unfortunately, I think these segments are cut out on the video release, but Kermit did show up in the 1988 "Put Down the Duckie" special. In one spot, in his reporter role, he interviewed Oscar about public television. He was later in a skit as Cookie Monster's lawyer during "CookieGate"!
Also, Kermit briefly showed up in "The Street We Live On" in the flashback scenes at the end, where the video went from 1969 to 2004, showing scenes from each year. In 1987, a quick clip of Kermit and the African Alphabet singers is shown and in 1988 a clip of Kermit directing Forgetful Jones in "Oklahoma" is shown. Again, unfortunately, this whole ending segment is cut from the video release.
By the way, on "Sing Yourself Silly", Kermit sings "Mary Had a Bicycle" with Don Music, though the Sesame Street News introduction is cut out.
Kermit is also on the "Quiet Time" video, singing "In the Quiet of the Evening"
Kermit shows up on "Getting Ready to Read" in a skit where he instructs Cookie Monster to say a poem about anything other than cookies.
Kermit is also on the "Learning About Letters" video in a skit where he draws a "M" with his finger.
Kermit is also on the "Learning About Numbers" video in a skit where he rides on an elevator with The Count as the elevator operator.
Kermit is also on the "Count it Higher" video and he sings his "Do Op Hop" song. He also appears with a bunch of others on the "Do De Rubber Duck" song.
Kermit is also briefly seen on the "A Celebration of Me, Grover!" video in clips (Grover as a plumber in Kermit's apartment, Grover as a fire fighter in the woods, being led by Kermit to a camp fire.)
during the Grover Work song.
And Kermit makes a very brief cameo on the "Rock and Roll" video in the "Forty Blocks from My Home" song. (He and The Count are seen crossing the street while the bus is stopped at a red light.)
And of course, Kermit shows up throughout the "Big Bird's Story Time" video as part of the main storyline. And there's also these individual clips he shows up in:
Sesame Street News: Rupunzel
Sesame Street News: Snow White
Sesame Street News: Humpty Dumpty
Sesame Street News: The Three Little Pigs (the one where Kermit interviews the pig who built a straw house that's too strong for the wolf to blow down)
And Kermit shows up at the end, exhausted from all the news stories he's been covering, and lays down to sleep with Big Bird and Snuffy in Big Bird's nest! Cool! I love that scene!
Kermit also shows up in "The Alphabet Game" where he sings "Alphabet in the Swamp".
Kermit is in "Bert and Ernie's Word Play" and he shows up in a skit where he wants to get a "Kemit the Frog" T-shirt, but keeps stymied!
And on the "25th. Birthday: A Musical Celebration" video, Kermit sings "It's Not Easy Being Green" (the original Sesame Street version).
And of course, Kermit is on "The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street" video, and he talks very little during the linking footage.
But here's information on the clips shown on this video.
Here is some information about The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street.
release year: 1998
plot: Grover is to present kermit with the "frog of the year" award, which is the biggest prize a frog can get. But first, Grover must read his poem about frogs. The three litte pigs come, explaining that they are close, personal friends of kermit The Frog ("He's talked to us twice on Sesame Street News", says one pig). However, The Big bad Wolf comes in, saying that he is on pig patrol, and tell's grover to just yell Pig patrol if they cause too much trouble. Grover starts his poem talkign about frogs. After the I love My Elbows clip is shown, Grover ask's a boy if he knew that frogs had elbows. Grover contineus his poem, saying that frogs have ears, a long nose, and teeth, and as Kermit tries to tell Grover otherwise, Grover shows some clips but then becomes convicned that frogs do not have those things, but says that frogs do have calmness, and never get angry or yell, but then he shows soem clips that also prove him wrong. However, Grover is certain that frogs know the alphabet. Grover goes on to say that when frogs are sad, instead of gettign the blues, they get the greens. Grover talks to a girl about what kinds of whether frogs like, and learns that frogs most likely don't like snow. He also talks to that girl about kermit's award, as well as Kermit's job as a news person. Finally, Grover finishes his poem and tells Kermit to come get his poem. Kermit takes a small trophy of Kermit and is about to make an acceptance speech when Grover tells kermit that the trophy is not the prize. Turns out that the actual prize is a giant Kermit The Frog statue, "the biggest prize a frog can get". As Kermit struggles to carry the award, Grover and the three little pigs sing a new song, "Frog of The Year", and Grover tells the viewers who Kermit wanted to thank.

clip montages:
1. Kermit saying "I do not beleive this" in response to gettign ears, Kermit sneezing as he get's a nose, and Kermit chasing Grover after having teeth.
2. Kermit, with ears, telling Grover to get outta here, Kermit yelling about wanting his "Kermit The Frog T-Shirt", Kermit telling grover hat he does not have a nose, and Kermit chasing Grover out of the apartment after getting a pair of sunglasses with ears and a nose attahced.
3. [note: This order varies from the actual order, and might be incomplete] a few of Kermit The frogs Sesame Street News introductions (including his introductions for jack b nimble, humpty dumpty, and mary and her little lamb), a tree falling on kermit, pinnocchio lying and having his growing nose push kermit through the wall, cave kids walking over kermit, Kermit being blown away (probably by a wolf, though the wolf is not seen in this clip), a shrunk Kermit saying "Hey, Mumford! Look what you did to me!" (note: Mumford is not seen in this clip), a horse jumping onto a grandfather clock, Kermit shouting "Where is Peter Piper!", Rumplestilskin taking custody of Kermit, and a few clips of Kermit signing off (being followed by marys little lamb, covered in the snow, and wearing a purple dress in a horse-drawn coach).
nitpicks:
*it's too bad that the majority of non-song clips had to be parts of clip montages. The clips go by too fast, we hear what goes on in the clips, and many of the things in these clips might seem weird to people who don't know what is going on (the same problem applies to the time line sequence from The Street We Live On). It would have been cool if the openign sequence had a clip montage (instead of just a photo of Kermit. This would have been a good opportunity to include Kermit's scenes from Subway and Do De Rubber Duck, since Kermit isn't important enough for those skits to be shown in The Best Of Kermit). A Celebration of Me, Grover! did a much better job with all of the clip montages.
*None of kermit's skits from the first season are included (the same is true for all other "best of" videos).
*Considering that Kermit's best-known Sesame Street appearances seem to be his news skits (I could be wrong, but 99% of the kermit section of Sesame Street Unpaved focuses on Kermit's news reporter role, and almost every Sesame Street special featuring Kermit had him as a reporter), it's weird that we only get a montage, instead of just a complete skit or two. Also, none of the early Sesame Street news skits (where kermit had a dark brown hat) are included.
*While it is understandable that none this video couldn't have any characters from The Muppet Show, it's a shame that Grover is the only other regular Sesame Street character included in this video. Kermit has done skits with other regular characters (such as Dr. Nobel Price, Don Music, Cookie Monster, herry, Elmo, Telly, Harvey Kneeslapper, and The Count).
*All of the songs included have either already been included on albums or on other videos (as far as I know, the version of Being Green included here was already included on I'm Glad I'm Me; Why not include the version with Leena Horne, the only version of the song not available on video?).
*oddly enough, Grover mentions that a frog knows the alphabet, and this line is followed by three segments in a row. However, only the first two of those segments have to do with the alphabet. It would have been more fitting to have included (although it's already been released on video) Alphabet In The swamp (or Bayou Alphabet, as many people seem to refer to it as) instead of Do Op Hop.
*while most Sesame Street videos at the time were 30 minutes long, I think that this video should have been an exception, and have been an hour long instead. Also, Grovers scenes with real kids are unneccessary (especially since kermit isn't in those scenes). Removal of those scenes could have saved time for more kermit skits.
*It seems like the producers of this video didn't want to confuse kids over kermit having a different voice in the new footage compared to old footage, as kermit only gets a few, short lines in the linking footage.
And I thought I'd also mention that Kermit also makes appearances on "Follow That Bird", "Elmo Saves Christmas" and of course, "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street".
I would also recommend you check out the thread below, where a lot of the Sesame Street videos have been thoroughly reviewed, with lists of all the sketches and songs on them. If you've seen any that haven't been covered there (or even some that have) and want to add a review, please contribute!
