Jim Henson and big Bird already have Stars.

Michael.

Must be a great honor....but I wonder, does it become something a little less important to you in a historical context if you have to share it with Chrissy from Three's Company? I mean...REALLY! CHRISSY!?! Jeez...they'll give anybody a star I guess.

[MuppetQuilter]

How do you end up with a list that includes Scorsese and Suzanne Summers? That is just bizarre.

But very cool for Kermit.

Kermit should have gotten his star LONG ago.. He's been a TV veteran MUCH longer than most of those others.. and a lot more deserving.

Some of our California Board Members might be more up on this, but doesn't a fan club or some other outside organization need to both nominate and raise funds for the star? I always thought this was how it went, and if it is, who led the charge for Kermit?

[beaker]

whew, finally! Albeit a bit long overdue, its great to have Kermit(along with JH, and Big Bird) with a star on the walk of fame.

Though, Kermit's star should have happened years ago and Piggy should be the one getting it(had Kermit already gotten his)

Congragulations Kermit, wherever you are right now, you'd think that recognition of the worlds most famous frog would of come sooner, but better now then never. When do you think we can expect to see stars for Fozzie, Piggy, Gonzo and so on and so fourth? You know the Simpsons have a star that just says "The Simpsons", maybe they should do that for the Muppets as well, having a star that reads "The Muppets".

Nah. It's cool when one Muppet is recognized for his/her/its own achievement.

Hopefully one day we'll see Frank Oz get a star. He's performed many of the most popular Muppets (not to mention Yoda), and he's also a leading Hollywood director. So I wouldn't be surprised.
