So Mitt likes Big Bird, huh. 

[Duque de Bragança]

Elmo of course.

[Ideologue]

Cookie Monster.

We didn't get all the characters during the time I watched here in Germany (early 80s), but of the ones we did, definitely Ernie.

[Josquius]

Cookie Monster iirc.

Was Kermit on Sesame Street? I can't recall that.

Was Kermit on Sesame Street? I can't recall that.

Yes.

edit:  well, maybe not for a certain generation, he was for mine--Sesame Street (1969–2001, 2009) (TV)

A toss-up between Kermit, Elmo and Big Bird. Went with Kermit because he is green.

[FunkMonk]

Yeah, Oscar was always my favorite.

[Syt]

The "Nog-Nog" aliens scared me as a kid.

[merithyn]

I loved the Nog-Nogs!! Voted Ernie, though. I thought he was awesome.

We had this in Soviet Union instead:

I indentify with Oscar, I am a bit of a Grouch.

We had this in Soviet Union instead:

The fun part was working out who would be purged each episode. 

[derspiess]

Definitely Cookie Monster.  That was solidified when mom took me to see Sesame Street on Ice and he waved to me

When I first started watching, The Count scared me a bit.  Didn't help that my brothers told me all kinds of gory stories about him.
