Watching The Muppet Show in its prime-time slot in the late 70s and early 80s is one of my favorite childhood memories. Here was a show for kids that was for some reason on television when grown-up shows were supposed to be on. And our whole family would watch and laugh. And the guest stars! Freaking Luke Skywalker was on the show! I loved it.
Obviously YMMV, but for my money they’re ranked thusly:
- Kermit the Frog
- Gonzo
- Scooter
- Fozzie
- The Swedish Chef
