Best ones:
 
             - Guy Smiley;
             -Oscar The Grouch (The best childrens T.V character ever);
             -Cookie Monster;
             -The Count (Agreed R.C);
            -Big Bird (Anyone think the voice actor used sounds uncannily like Michael Jackson?);
            -Animal!

Tough to narrow it down to five:


6. Swedish Chef. Precursor to the Food Network and more entertaining than most of the FN hosts.


I do also love the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth creations. Pretty much anything Henson did was entertaining. We need more people willing to bring unique visions/creations to the entertainment world like he did.

Swedish Chef Making Chicken.   Buggedout BounceGiggle

Love him.

Great post!

I'll try to do it in the right order...

5. Rowlf - Don't know exactly why, but he's cool

4. Animal - I had a kind of anarchistic attitude when young.. and used to play drums, so.....

3. Honeydew and Beaker - Well, now I'm at a university....

2. Grover - I have to narrow this down to his waiter role. As has been mentioned before, most hilarious with the blue guy...

1. Kermit - Although he's not the most funny or interesting one, he's probably the most likeable, because he seems so "real" - not like a puppet, but a real person.

You hit it on the head about Kermit.  I've been saying the same thing about Mickey Mouse.  But honestly, I love Kermit cause he has a dry sense of humor and can be funny, whereas, I've always felt Mickey wasn't all that particulary funny.  Mickey's likeable, sure, but it's like the funny gets handed to Goofy or Donald Duck.

1) Statler and Waldorf, the old guys from the muppet show.
2)  Bunsen and beaker (I am a scientist)
3) Herry Monster- He was always a bit player.

I almost forgot Telly. Between the constant worrying and the uncanny resemblance to Al Molinaro, what's not to like?

Actually, the mental health of the Sesame Street muppets is quite interesting. You have Big Bird, a giant with the mind of a child, carrying on conversations with a character nobody else can see (I know they changed that part). There's anxiety-ridden Telly, the obsessive-compulsive Count, compulsive overeater Cookie Monster, antisocial psychopath Oscar, and the always-irrational Grover.

Animal was loosely based (allegedly) on Keith Moon here, especially in the personality department.

    ImageThe Giant Claw - Slime drop

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
