In the early 1960’s the legendary Jim Henson began creating characters that would come to be known as Muppets.
He liked to tell reporters that he combined the words marionette and puppet to come up with his own name, but it would later be revealed that he just liked the name and rolled with it.
There are plenty of Muppet characters to choose from, but this week’s question only asks for seven.
- First to play last week: Carly of “Ellipsis…Suddenly Carly”. (I’m working on convincing her to build a blog!) Congratulations!
On to this week’s question!

Hi, Patrick!
Fun question. I had to think about it for quite awhile, though, because I love them all. I actually have a clip from John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together posted on my TV & movie blog right now… If you’re interested, you can see it here:

Anyway, here’s a link to my list of answers for this week’s question:

Hi Patrick:
Hope you didn’t get hit too hard. We had a lot of snow, but it isn’t something we aren’t used to here in Chicago.
Jude
Here are my seven:
1. Rowlf
2. Animal
3. The Count
4. Statler & Waldorf (I hate to break up a set.)
5. Kermit
6. The Swedish Chef
7. Guy Smiley (He is a game show host, after all!)
My answers are (finally!) up!
1. Statler
2. Waldorf
3. Kermit the Frog
4. Scooter
5. Sam the Eagle
6. Animal
7. The Doozers of Fraggle Rock
1. Miss Piggy. I’m all over chubby glamour and shameless self-promotion.
2. Kermit, because it’s really not that easy being green…
3. Big Bird, just because.
4. Ernie and Bert. The odd couple. Chip adored them when he was a little boy. Ernie’s laugh is, arguably, the best one on the tube.
5. Elmo
6. Snuffleupagus: especially when he sings “On Top of Spaghetti”
7. Grover
