And pretty much anything from Statler and Waldorf.
I was snide even as a 7-year-old, so my favorite bits were Statler and Waldorf.
And I'll tell you something about me and TV as a kid: I *know* I watched the Muppet Show, every Sunday at 7:00, but I can't remember anything specific from it. At all. Y'all keep naming these bits, and they sound vaguely familiar, but not enough for me to really remember them.
Same thing with Gilligan's Island and the Brady Bunch -- I watched them after school every single day for, like, 8 years or more. And I can't remember anything except the Gilligan's Island "To Be or Not to Be" song and the Brady Bunch episode where the vase gets broken and they glue it back together and then spend dinner freaking out that it will shatter. Oh! And the Brady Bunch where they get a pay phone because someone (one of the girls, I assume) was spending too much time on the phone.
That's it. Eight years and that's all I remember. I think when I started watching Buffy, it recorded over all the Muppets/Gilligans Island/Brady Bunch in the TiVO of my brain.

That's why there's YouTube.
Saturday nights in the mid-70s were all CBS for us, from The Muppet Show at 6:30, through Bob Newhart Show, Mary Tyler Moore, and whatever other two sitcoms were on at the time, and then finishing with Carol Burnett at 9:00. I remember a lot of those four shows in particular, mostly because of the happy memories of the whole family gathered around watching together.
That's why there's YouTube.
Ha! I've marked ALL the Muppet posts so that I can watch tonight!

Then report back to us on which ones you remember.
Several of my friends have acquired DVD sets of that show. I should politely inquire as to whether they would like to share....
Everyone keeps mentioning my favorite Muppet skits; however, Jilli added my 2 favorite of all. The Alice Cooper skit is classic!

"We're gonna have a Muppet party tonight! / All right!"

One of the most fun bits of the LAF2F was Saturday Morning cartoons and everybody singing along with the Animaniacs.
I've got the first two seasons, but haven't picked up S3 yet.
Grrr. I just called into the bookstore to see if they need me (on-call shifts have to check in two hours before the shift starts), and they do. Blargh. I worked last night, and I'm scheduled for an 8-hour shift on Saturday, and I just wanted to have tonight off so I could run to the grocery store and Michaels to stock up my fridge/cabinets and get some badly-needed DMC floss for my Xmas cross-stitch project. Going to both of those stores on Friday nights are a PITA. I'm also tired enough to want another day off my full-time gig, but I can't take tomorrow off since my boss is already taking it.
I think that I'll be quitting the law firm job at the end of the year, because not having Sundays off to recharge is really draining me. It's not worth the extra $100-150 a month, as much as I thought it would be nice to have the cash.
