Another 50th getting overshadowed.
 
Happy 50th birthday, Kermit the Frog!

How is Kermit 50? I thought the Muppets didn't make their first appearance until '56...

Ponine 05-09-2005 08:59 AM
That's what I came to post!!!!
Happy birthday my green friend! I would not be the same without you.

I appreciate all you have done over the years. You dont look a day older!

mousepod 05-09-2005 09:01 AM
Just did some research...

"Sam & Friends"? GD - I stand corrected.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY KERMIT!

Happy Birthday Kermit! I still miss Jim Henson's brilliance.

Hey...it ain't easy being green!

Kermie is 50~ Wow! My Mom still has my first Kermie doll...he was my best friend for sooooooooooo long!

Ghoulish Delight 05-09-2005 09:10 AM
Yep, Kermit started as a lizard on Sam & Friends, a 5 minute show before the Tonight Show. That first incaration was made from Henson's mother's green coat.

I remember being at a Foetus concert right after JH passed away. He reworked Elton John's "Rocket Man" into "Puppet Dude".

Henson touched everybody.

I was working at the DLR when Jim Henson passed away. I remember how profoundly it affected those of us who were told in the locker room.
I remember the day of his memorial, and how much many of us wished we could have been there. It was a sad day. And not jsut because we knew that Disney had been trying to get Jim on board. Just in general.

Here's an excerpt fron and Interview w/Jim Henson (From Muppet Central)
Quote:
The first Kermit was made out of your mother's coat. Would you say that it was just an accident that the coat was green and that maybe if the coat had been purple that Kermit would not have evolved into a frog?

HENSON: That's quite likely actually. Yeah, the first Kermit was not even a clean green- it's sort of more a turquoise - sort of a milky turquoise.

Yeah, I saw him at the exhibit. He looked a little faded.

HENSON: Yeah, well, no, he's not faded; that was the color he was.

That was his real color?

HENSON: Sure, but you see back in those days you may have read somewhere, but I didn't call him a frog.

Right, he was just Kermit the thing.

HENSON: Yeah, all the characters in those days were abstract because that was part of the principle that I was working under, that you wanted abstract things.

Happy Birthday, Kermit. Whenever I see you in Chaplin attire, my heart does a little swoon.

Moonliner 05-09-2005 11:39 AM

I was just watching The Muppet Movie again. It still holds up after all these years.


Kermit: That's pretty dangerous building a road in the middle of the street. I mean, if frogs couldn't hop, I'd be gone with the Schwin.

Bernie: You, you with the banjo, can you help me? I seem to have lost my sense of direction!
Kermit: Have you tried Hare Krishna?


Kermit: This guy's lost.
Waiter: Maybe he sould try Hare Krishna.
Kermit: Good grief, it's a running gag.

Morrigoon 05-09-2005 02:15 PM

In honor of Kermit's 50th... I thought I'd share a copy of my sister's version of The Rainbow Connection

Hope you enjoy it.
