Free Printable Muppet Coloring Pages for Muppets Most Wanted

I loved the Muppet Show and movies. The characters are spinoffs of Jim Henson's Sesame Street muppets. Many are voiced by the same actors. The Muppet Movie, A Muppet Christmas Carol (Michael Caine as Scrooge) and Muppet Treasure Island (with Tim Curry as Long John Silver). My kids liked the Muppet Babies craze of the 1990s. Who could resist lovable Kermit and the bombastic Miss Piggy? Or eccentric Gonzo and his chicken Camilla, wise-cracking Fozzie Bear, Rizzo the Rat and Rowlf the jazz-playing pooch. Sargent Floyd Pepper, Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Janice and the Muppet band The Electric Mayhem is priceless. Animal the crazy drummer has become a cult icon. My Muppets favorites were the Swedish Chef and Beaker (who lived in fear of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew's quack experiments). Now in 2014, we get "Muppets Most Wanted" with Tina Fey and Ty Burrell (Modern Family).

Saturday Morning Cartoons and Breakfast Cereal Memories

Saturday mornings as a kid in the 1960s and 1970s meant two things: Saturday cartoons and weird breakfast cereals. I lived in Michigan, near Cereal City (Battle Creek)--Kelloggs, Post, Quaker and General Mills were household words. During the school week mom usually didn't let you eat junk cereal. It had to be healthy stuff, if you even got cereal. Some moms were of the eggs and toast persuasion. And not all of us had TV--I had to get my television fix at grandma's and grandpa's house. My parents were those irritating progressives who thought TV and junk were bad for you! And grandparents were frugal Hollanders who only bought what was on sale, so not much luck getting junk cereal there. When I'd ask if I could have Quisp or Freakies or some such novelty,  grandpa would reminisce about his favorite when he was a kid--Ralston. I doubt, in 1917, they were very inventive--no cool prizes, artificial flavors or colors??what's breakfast cereal without those? 1960s-1970s was the heyday of cereal.  I found pictures of Saturday breakfast cereal favorites from the 60s-90s. It's not conclusive, but it's still a fun walk down memory lane. And alas, now that I'm a mom, I pushing that healthy cereal, too. Here's a list of the best Healthy, Nutritious Packaged Cold Breakfast Cereal Brands
