Our favorite green frog is turning 50 years old next month.

Beloved Kermit the Frog Approaching 50

“Well, you know, it’s interesting being 50,” Kermit said in a recent interview with AP Television News. “You start to reflect on your life. And you look back over the years at everything you’ve ever done. And, with age, middle age, comes wisdom. But I have to say that I’m not sure that 50 for me is the same as 50 in people years.”

In honor of Kermit’s birthday, The Muppet Show: Season One has been released. It’s a four-DVD box set with all 24 episodes of the first season. It’s on my Christmas list!
