From Muppetcentral.com...

How did the word "Muppet" originate?
In a 1982 interview, Jim Henson shared that "I think we did the term Muppets before we got the show Sam and Friends - a few months after I started working. It was really just a term we made up. For a long time I would tell people it was a combination of marionettes and puppets but, basically, it was really just a word that we coined. We have done very few things connected with marionettes."

Wanna see what muppet you are?

Ok Fraggles ARE Muppets, an dso are the characters on Sesame Street. They are ALL Muppets. Not only those from the show "The Muppet Show", but all of the Muppet Movies and shows.

Anywho..

I am a HUGE Muppet Lover, and Kermit and Fozzie are my favs, and the Mupper Movie is the all time best movie EVA!!!
I just wish they'd release it on Dvd :(

The Fraggles rock too (oops i made a funny), I was so totally addicted when I was little. I mean their world exists between a wierd old guys house, a giant talking trash heap, and a giant's garden, and they have little builders who constantly make cute buildings for them to eat! I wanna live there. lol.

The same reason why the street you live on is probably not named Jackass Lane. :D

BTW, Kermit has been a fixture on Sesame Street for over 30 years. Is he not a Muppet?

Rygel, and Pilot for that matter, are not Muppets. They were built by the Hensons, but they were not CONCEIVED by them. Its that simple. :)

Big Bird IS a Muppet. He may not hide behind walls, or have part time legs like Bert, but he is a Muppet.

Gordon... who the hell knows. There have been several black guys who lived with Susan who answered to the name "Gordon". Maybe someone should get a search warrant to search the basement of 123 Sesame Street for corpses, but that's a topic for another thread.

I suppose you are gonna tell me that Bert and Ernie aren't Muppets because they MIGHT be homosexuals. I guess Oscar is really a very pissed off infant whose mother ditched him in that trash can and the Cookie Monster is a stoner with the munchies. :D
