So what would you say was the worst of Jim Henson's creations (Ranging from anything from the Muppet Show to Sesame Street to Fraggle Rock and the movies)? It can be a bad Muppet, bad episode, bad guest star, etc.
Personally, I gotta say one of my least favorite Henson deals was prolly the Star Wars episode of the Muppet Show. The acting was kind of up there with the Holiday Special, yanno?

The Muppet Show was geared towards adults. There were quite a few inside jokes and
comments along the lines of Rocky and Bullwinkle and the Simpsons. It was way ahead of
its time. I think the franchise jumped the shark with the Muppet Babies cartoon.

I don't like Miss Piggy. Never have, never will. But I know she ain't consider crap so I'm alone on this one.

Sesame Street's Baby Bear might be the worst Muppet character of all time. He's not one of the classic characters or any thing, but he's featured prominently on the post-Jim Henson mediocre Sesame Street of today.

Agreed! Elmo has been run into the ground.
I swear, if any of my nieces or nephews gets a Tickle-Me-Elmo toy for Christmas, this year, I'm pulling out my 30-06 and blasting that thing into oblivion.

Hey! I like Pepe, all-right!
Elmo gots to go though. Sesame Street always held the distinction of being one of those shows that didn't patronize the kids, but Elmo is the bottom standard.

The completely oblivious message they were sending children regarding Snuffalupagous, or however you spell his name.
You have a show that tries to teach kids to do right, tell the truth and be honest, and then this long-running plotline gets dropped in, teaching kids that if you tell grown-ups something, they won't believe you and that you're just making it up.

Personally, I saw Snuffy as Big Bird's personal pipe-dream, which made me wonder if someone slipped some poppy seeds in his feeder. |

Well I heard they have a muppet on Sesame Street that has aids now, if that's true then...
The Muppets definately haven't jumped the shark, I mean its a muppet with AIDS! How ridiculous is that?
