The United States Postal Service released a sheet of 37-cent First Class postage stamps in September, 2005, honoring Jim Henson and the Muppets. The Henson stamp featured a 1986 photograph by Norman Seeff. The photos on the Muppet stamps were commissioned specifically for the set of stamps.
The ten Muppet stamps featured Kermit the Frog, Sam the Eagle, Statler and Waldorf, Animal, Rowlf the Dog, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, the Swedish Chef, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, and Gonzo and Camilla. The back of each Muppet stamp featured the character’s signature and a quotation from them about stamps or mail. Each of these quotations were written by Jim Lewis.[1]

Id rather them not celebrate it and cut the stamp prices.
USPS is on time with Priority Mail parcels.
I want my stamps to have dead presidents and U.S. flags on them.
I used to work in public TV in another life and I usually saw pieces of most of the shows on the PBS satellite channels.
One afternoon, I caught a skit called Special Letters Unit and it was a good and sensible parody of Special Victims Unit. Right down to the “chung-chung” sound.
