abstract	Since the premiere episode in 1969, Kermit the Frog has made significant appearances on Sesame Street. Unlike the other Sesame Street characters, Sesame Workshop never had any ownership of Kermit the Frog. At one point in 1970, Kermit was going to be dropped from the show due to criticism that the character was too commercial. Look magazine reported that "when the new season starts November 9, expect changes. There will be no more know-it-all frog, since Kermit, the one Muppet who is not exclusive to Sesame Street, is opting out to do commercials." Time Magazine reported with slightly more detail: "Kermit the Frog is being canned for commercialism. When Sesame Street was just a glint in Joan Ganz Cooney's eye, Kermit taped a special in Canada. When it was given a network airing, the frog was compromised. Or so Henson decided. .... He is being phased out of the show. He will be replaced by such Muppets as Herbert Birdsfoot and Sherlock Hemlock." However, Kermit made at least one sketch during the second season (as evident by the appearance of a blue-nosed Herry Monster) on a lecture about "between." The frog returned as a regular Sesame Street character in the third season (1971). In addition to appearing on the show itself, Kermit also appeared in the show's pitch reel; the television specials Julie on Sesame Street, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, Sesame Street, Special and 20 and Still Counting, Elmo Saves Christmas, Elmopalooza and CinderElmo; and the film Follow That Bird. Kermit and the other Sesame Street Muppets also made a guest appearance on Peter Alexander präsentiert Spezialitäten in 1975. He was also the central focus of the direct-to-video feature The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street. Although the rights to Kermit the Frog are now owned by The Walt Disney Company, and the rights to Sesame Street are owned by Sesame Workshop, Sesame Workshop currently has permission from Disney to showcase existing Kermit segments in Sesame Street in its productions. Kermit made his first new appearance on Sesame Street since Disney's acquisition of in the season 40 premiere episode, making a cameo in Elmo's World: Frogs.
