The Great Gonzo: The Muppet with no known species. And the one that f**ks chickens.  Can you blame him for appealing to my tastes?  I think he embodies everything what I love about Jim Henson's work with his endearing and lovable idiosyncrasy.
Oscar comes in second place.

Personally, I always enjoyed Beaker and Bunsen for some reason.  They are just so fun to watch.

But if I got to pick an all time favorite, it is the duo of Statler and Waldorf.  Always fun to watch and laugh with.

Oh, Statler and Waldorf, no question. It takes a certain amount of chutzpah to make two old guys who hate everything about your show an integral part of the equation.

My favorite exchange by them was part of the 3-D show at Universal Studios.

"Hey, check out the guy in the audience wearing a Halloween mask!"
"That's no mask."
"Oops! Sorry, lady!"

As far as expressiveness goes, I like both Sam the Eagle (who always seems mildly befuddled) and Animal.

Check this out:

If you're not a fan of the Muppets after that, you're one of the soulless.

The Yin and the Yang:

Fozzie, just because of his sheer tenacity, and Statler and Waldorf, because they are his biggest ridiculers.

As a kid, it was probably a toss-up between the Swedish Chef and Lou Zealand, the fish thrower.

These days, I have to go with Dr. Teeth. Very funny, quirky, and just a well-developed character all around.

I've also gotten a much greater appreciation for Kermit, as the sane person who has to deal with a bunch of weirdos all the time. He often has some really funny moments, but more low-key than some of the other characters.

Favourite line in the 1979  movie:
Fozzie: I don't know how to thank you guys.
Kermit: I don't know why to thank you guys.

I met CAROL SPINNEY just a few years after the above and was unimpressed because of my own ignorance.  I might have been just the right age for MUPPETS, but there were four of us (five counting my 10 years older brother) and my sister being three years older and my brother two years older... they dominated TV to their more mature tastes.  Now that I'm old enough to truly appreciate the MUPPETS, I'm sorry I didn't appreciate the wonderful opportunity I had.

For just a second, I wondered why Big Bird was singing Kermit's song. Because Kermit lost his voice, of course.

Amazing that Big Bird can project so much dignity in that setting.

    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.
