Picking a single favorite would be far too difficult. My top Muppets are (in no particular order):

Miss Piggy
Kermit
Gonzo
Sam the Eagle
Statler & Waldorf

Beaker
Statler & Waldrof (the old men who like to make fun of the muppets)
The Swedish Chef

It's tough to single any of them out, since it really is the ensemble working together that makes "The Muppets" and creates the special dynamic. Honestly, I just tried to make a list and it's going to pretty much encompass nearly the whole cast. So let me point out characters who aren't my favorite: Miss Piggy (I don't dislike her, she's just not as endearing as the rest), Pepe. I don't know who else? The Muppet Newsflash guy doesn't really do it for me, nor did the dude in the pilot who would be replaced by Kermit. All the rest rock my socks off, though, including Crazy Harry and Manha Manha.

Rizzo the Rat is my number one choice. I have a plush of him and it is so cute. Of course I also have to love Miss Piggy.

My favorite is Miss Piggy. I'm not sure why, I just think she's the funniest.

Big Bird: I'll be Snow White.
Donny Dodo: You're not Snow White.
Marie Dodo: You're Bright Yellow!

Donny Dodo: Hey, are we on television?
Mommy Dodo: Let's go inside and watch!
(they leave)
Kermit: Well there you have it...the Dodos!

(sorry to bump this, but since it was brought up in the other topic and I smell a merge, I figure I might as well)

And Gonzo's still my favorite.

It's kinda hard to choose. It's a tie between Kermit & Statler & Waldorf. I love watching "From the Balcony" on movies.com.

By the way, does anyone think that Waldorf looks sorta like Disney story man Joe Grant?
