Kermit's family

Kermit's family has been seen and mentioned on a number of infrequent occasions in several projects.

Parents
Kermit's Mom was first mentioned in The Muppet Show Pitch Reel. She later appeared in the Muppet Kids books and Kermit's Swamp Years (however both times her face was never shown).

Siblings
In 1994, on Larry King Live, it was stated that Kermit was born one of several thousand children in a southern swamp, and that he had 4,000 brothers and sisters (well, at last count).

Young Kermit was trampled by a barrage (12 to be exact) unnamed siblings in Kermit's Swamp Years.

In 2002, in the On the Set with Kermit interview for Kermit's Swamp Years, Kermit said "I was the first born child, very responsible you know. I had several thousand younger brothers and sisters." He then went on to name them: Angie, Artie, Aloysius, Andy, Artemus,...Eloise, Eugene, Edward, Elaine,...Mortimer, Marry, Millicent, Molly, Matthew,... Yolanda, Yo-yo, Ya-ya, Ye-ye (Mom and Dad were kind of running out of names by then),... Zeek, Zachary, and of course Zschlomo (the Z is silent).

In 2005, on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Kermit commented to Ty Pennington that "You know, as a tadpole in the swamp, I had 3,265 brothers and sisters!"

Kermit returns to the swamp in The Muppets at Walt Disney World and sees many of his aunts and uncles, including Harry, Mary, Larry, Terri, Gary, Perry, and Lou.

Other Family Members
Robin the Frog is Kermit's nephew and one of his closest relative.

Kermit's Great-grandmother Toad and Grandfather Frog were both seen in Kermit's Garden of Verses.

Kermit's Uncle Martin, appeared in the Muppet Kids book, Help! We're Lost!.

Alternate Families
In The Great Muppet Caper Kermit and Fozzie played identical twin brothers. Their dad is also shown in a photograph.

Kermit (unwittingly and unknowingly) married Miss Piggy in The Muppets Take Manhattan – although subsequent events suggest that it was only their characters in the movie that married, and that their relationship is really the same as ever.

Kermit played the patriarch of the Cratchit family in The Muppet Christmas Carol.

On June 28, 2006, Kermit made a surprise appearance on Good Morning America for Charlie Gibson's farewell as the show's co-anchor. Referring to a picture of Gibson and his family posing with Kermit from a few years earlier, Gibson affectionately referred to Kermit as his "adopted son", to which the famed frog began this exchange with Gibson:


 * Kermit: Dad, can I borrow the car tonight?
 * Gibson: OK, but stay out of the back seat.
 * Kermit: With my luck, I'll probably end up in the trunk.

Kermit reappeared at the end of the show, sitting on Gibson's shoulder.
