Happy Birthday

Today is  Jim Henson's Birthday.  Kermit's original creation date was May 9th, 1955 but over the course of time it got changed officially to Sept 24th as well. By some trickery of coincidence Linda Lavin popped into my head recently and I found this Muppet Show episode where she guest starred and they celebrated the Kermit's Birthday.
