Grit was an American weekly newspaper (now a magazine) that was founded in 1882, and aimed primarily at small-town and rural readers. Calling itself "America's Greatest Family Newspaper," the publication focused on positive news that encouraged its readers to live peaceful, contented lives.

- April 30, 1972: "The Muppets of Sesame Street: Inside Story on Popular TV Puppets", illustrated on the cover with a picture of Big Bird, Ernie and Bert.
- August 26, 1979: "The Magic of the Muppets: Entire Cast Now Featured in New Movie", illustrated on the cover with a portrait of Miss Piggy.
