Who is your favorite Jim Hensen character? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

We were watching the Dark Crystal last night (one of my favorites) and I got to thinking how much I loved that movie and some of the characters in it. So I wondered if anyone else liked Jim Hensen or the muppets or if I'm just a child trapped in a womans body?

My list in no particular order:

Jen, Fezgig, Chamberlin, Augra ~ Dark Crystal
Miss Piggy Moi!
Animal
Gonzo
Fozzy
Kermit

I've always liked Fozzy. He didn't have the most personality, I just like his look.

Gonzo, for sure. Still have a couple of his big episodes on tape. The ones with Lola Falana and Madeline Kahn.

Still, Animal and Dr. Bunsen Honeydew are fun too.

I really wish his (non-movie) stuff would get a decent DVD treatment. I know the Muppet Show is coming out on DVD in those "best of" collections I hate so much. But I haven't heard anything about Fraggle Rock or The Storyteller.

He is on Farscape... probably the best show from Henson Productions. While the SF channel has not picked up the 5th season, there will probably be a movie in the future. The 4th season is now almost over.

He received an honorary Dr. of Fine Arts and spoke at my college graduation (U Md, 1978).
