  Oscar the Grouch : Not my cup of mud.

• Oscar the Grouch : [on Pledge Drives]  Now that was television! Why can't they do shows like that more often? Well it doesn't matter 'cause I taped it and now I can watch it any time I want. I'm a lucky grouch.

• Kermit the Frog : How about live concerts?

  Oscar the Grouch : I prefer recorded concerts on badly scratched records.
