The Muppets are celebrating their 70th anniversary--and the first character they're spotlighting is Rowlf! That's the right choice. He's not the oldest Muppet--Kermit predates him by about 7 years--but he's one of the most important in helping build Jim Henson's name, company, and legacy. /1

Rowlf is one of my favourites, especially as Doctor Bob 😅

Son of a bitch!

Okay. I'll agree with your logic but why is Lew Zeeland #2, and why aren't Sam or Yorick on the list? (I know it's tied to rights, but it's weird to say it's 70 years and then only pick from the Muppet Show.)

That was a lovely thread to read. Thank you.

I have so wanted a full-face motorcycle helmet cover that is Rowlf, floppy earred with the face plate as his mouth.

I honestly thought they were just a bit older than me (Xennial), not my dad's age.

And my first & biggest influence as a pianist.
