How cool is it that 3 of the final 4 feature Muppets?

I have to go Sesame Street here. While the Fraggles were fun, there's nothing in this showdown that had the cultural impact of Sesame Street.

When looking at re-seeding I was goign to do Muppets vs. Fraggle Rock (Henson vs. Henson!) but passed on it because of the "strength" of some shows vs. others. The Fraggles are popular, but I think they would've been smoked if they went up against Muppets, too.

This is going to come down to Sesame Street vs. Muppets, easily.

What's with the smoking of Fraggle Rock? My poor Fraggles. I would have considered taking you over the Muppets proper.

I don't actually remember ever enjoying Sesame Street. So what do I care if it had cultural impact? Elmo's annoying. I actually liked Fraggle Rock. Ah well. They had a nice run.

Lucky -- Here's the thing: Fuck Elmo. Elmo is the Jar Jar Binks of Muppets. He came into prominence only after Henson's death and Disney's takeover.

Quoted for motherfucking truth. Remember Ernie. And Cookie Monster. And Bert. And Big Bird. And Oscar. And all that goodness. And there was a lot of goodness.

This was a tough one, but I think I have to go for Sesame Street.

Oh, I know Elmo was a more modern addition and all. But if we say "Sesame Street had such an impact" Elmo has become a HUGE part of that impact. A new dancing/talking toy every Christmas as become part of that impact. Good or bad.

But really, I just seriouslly don't remember enjoying the show. Educational? Sure. Engaging and entertaining enough? Sure. Something I was ever excited to watch or really enjoyed? Not that I recall. In the flip side I loved Fraggle Rock as a kid and still enjoy watching episodes when I can today. Sesame Street is ALWAYS on and I never turn it on.

But I'm clearly in the extreme minority. Not that surprised and I have no reason to fight it. I get it. I expected FR to lose. Just didn't expect a shutout.
