  • angrytortilla, on 11/06/2009, -0/+13Dark Crystal made my childhood, not to mention all of the hard work for Muppets and Sesame Street. I was so sad when he died (and I'll never forget that day), but he left behind a remarkable legacy.
  • moo113, on 11/06/2009, -0/+10The two old guys, Statler and Waldorf. I like their wise cracking ways.
