Max here. Now people always ask me, "Why do you like the Muppets?" Well, I'm here to answer that question. But before I begin, I'd like to thank all of my readers and fellow bloggers, Aunt Angela and Uncle Jeremy from OUR JOURNEY, and my mom's best friend from Alabama and one of the biggest Muppet fans and Journey to Tennessee's first follower, Andy. Thank you for reading and commenting, and I hope you like this one as well.So, why do I like the Muppets. Well, to start the Muppets give a good sense of laughter and positive energy. Take Fozzie Bear for example, he tries to be funny but he succeeds... by not being funny. Although, he keeps trying to do it anyway. 
No. 2, The Muppets always have a guest star, it's a big variety of them. From Ethel Merman, to the Mummenschanz, Don Knotts to Steve Martin, Elton John to Julie Andrews. Even Alice Cooper, hard rocker, guest starred. And not many kids know who Raquel Welch is. It just goes to show ya', The Muppet Show has history.
#3, I love the characters they are hilarious, I can even do impressions of some of them. Actually most of them I can do, sometimes even the Sesame Street characters. I love them.
There's Pepe, the prawn with a Spanish accent. Rizzo, the rat with a New York type look. Gonzo, the stunt artiste that never gives up. Fozzie, the comedian with the hecklers that never stop heckling. Miss Piggy, the pig... I mean girl, with a strong arm. "Hi....ya!" she says. And Kermit, the host with problems and a green outside. But my favorite is the Muppet Labs guinea pig, Beaker. You remember him he was nominated for a Webby award. He won.
Another thing I like about them is their sketches. The variety of performances is very open. There's Pigs in Space, parody of Star Trek, starring Captain Link Hogthrob, Miss Piggy, and Dr. Julius Strangepork. There's The Swedish Chef and his variety of food. There's Muppet Labs, "Where the 
future is being made today", with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. And there's Veterinarian's Hospital, "the continuing stooory of a quack who's gone to the dogs", starring Rowlf as Dr. Bob, Miss Piggy, and Janice.

And there's Veterinarian's Hospital, "the continuing stooory of a quack who's gone to the dogs", starring Rowlf as Dr. Bob, Miss Piggy, and Janice.But the one thing I like the most is the youth within it. I once heard a recording of a man say, "The most sophisticated people I know, inside their all children. We never lose a certain sense we had when we were kids.", the late, Jim Henson says.
So I hope you get to know the Muppets as much as I do. So I say to you, Meep, Wocka Wocka, Hi ho, and WOMAN! And goodbye.
