Hey everyone!!
Seeing promotional materiasl for the new Muppets Movie that will be arriving in the near future gave me a blast of nostalgia.
I've always loved most shows that had anything to do with Jim Henson's creations, but the Muppets have an especially warm, fuzzy place in my heart. The original Muppets Movie was the first I got to see in the BIG theater with a friend from school. Back then (my grade school days), it was a BIG deal because we did not have VCR's, DVD, Blu-Ray, Netflix, etc.--once a movie ran its run at the theater, it was GONE, and so my friend and I felt almost "grown up" while sitting in a REAL theater watching a current movie!
I myself have always been partial to good old Kermit, the Swedish Chef (such as the time he made "donuts" by using balls of dough... and a randomly-aimed shotgun--I'm all about handy gadgets in the kitchen!), Animal (who doesn't love Animal? He's me on a bad day, and almost any other as well), and Cookie Monster (a milder version of Animal... and who doesn't love cookies...) (I realize Cookie is not technically a Muppet, but he was still birthed by Jim Henson's imagination!) I would also say that in a nutshell, I could be described as a mix of these characters as well!
My LEAST favorite were any and all of the pigs-- Miss Piggy and, UGH, the Pigs in Space... Some of you may recall that I also happen to be in constant debate with another CC user over yet another pig-oriented character on another children's show... Perhaps I just don't like pigs as characters in ANY kind of children's entertainment, I'm not sure... (My apologize to all you porcine-lovers out there...)
So, just for fun, and just to bring out the kid in all of us for a minute... Who is YOUR favorite Muppet? And/or, which Muppet(s) are most like you and why?
(This is, by no means, an exhaustive list, of course. FEEL FREE to add YOUR favorites in your post.)
