1. Great show, that was... very well remastered for DVD too.
Reminded me of "Laugh-in", except with puppets.

When he put some spaghetti into a pot of boiling water and it crawled out and attacked him!

8. I remember Rowlf on the ancient "Jimmy Dean Show."
Yeah, the sausage guy, my family watched it together every Saturday night with cold soda and popcorn.

12. Rolf. The flop-eared dog with the gravelly voice, a tender heart,
and a matchless ability on the piano. I still love his rendition of A.A. Milne's "Coddleston Pie."

22. Statler and Waldorf!
Someone already mentioned them above, but I don't know if you saw it.

Jim Henson was inspired when he created them.

49. DOCTOR TEETH AND THE ELECTRIC MAYHEM RULE!!!


(Clockwise from left): Janice (guitar, valley girl accent); Dr. Teeth (vocals, piano, Dr. John lawsuits); Animal (drums, chains, "Wom-maaaan!"); Zoot (saxophone, totally mute otherwise); Floyd (bass, funny cigarettes, Janice).

A real pioneering rock band when you consider that the lead guitarist was female!

although Gonzo is a very close second (but his relationship with chickens was always a bit disconcerting to me as a child).
