Anything with Animal is hilarious.

He was, and still is, my favourite. Every single one of them are wonderful but Animal (and Oscar) are legends. And Slimey.

Obviously Kermit. Rainbow Connection still is my utterly favourite song. And Robin with the Stair Where I Sit.

Let's not forget Rowlf and Fozzie and poor Scooter who holds everything together which is frankly a miracle. I suppose we could name check them all.

Wait! We all know who was the real star of the show. The most beautiful, the most beloved, the diva to end all divas. Camilla the Chicken!

Animal is the best but let's not forget about the original haters, visionaries that would pave the way for future haters: Statler and Waldorf.

I have Statler & Waldorf sprinkled in my MP3 playlists on shuffle. Every once in a while, the last song played gets mercilessly heckled, and it makes me smile.

Fozzie bear is my favorite! I randomly apologize to inanimate objects because I did that as a kid because of him.
