This sweet 1977 Jim Henson gem is one of my favorite holiday specials. I wish it played on TV more often (or at all)! You can pretty easily find it on the internets, though. Which you should do if you haven't seen it, or if you just want to see it again (after taking this quiz, of course). There are a few questions here that people that have never seen Emmet Otter will be able to get, but fans of the special definitely have the advantage.

Complete the lyric/song title: "Head full of good thoughts, belly full of grub, money in your pocket when there [BLANK]!"
What animal species are the mayor of Waterville and his lovely wife Gretchen?
Russell Hoban, who wrote the original Emmet Otter book in 1971, also wrote a series of popular children's books featuring Frances, who, like Emmet, is a member of the mammal family Mustelidae. What species is Frances?
Though he is not depicted on the current licensed copies of the special due to rights issues, what famous Muppet originally served as the narrator of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas?
Emmet's father seems to have literally had a career that is usually a derogatory term for a certain type of business person. What was his job?
Grandma Otter and young Monica from Friends had one (very large) item of clothing in common. According to various characters, it may have been used to cover Connecticut when it rained, or to make curtains and handkerchiefs and clothing for the poor. What is this one item of clothing?
"We don't wish to learn, but we hate what we don't understand!" For a song written nearly 40 years ago, these lyrics still seem sadly relevant today. Which characters (or group of characters) sang them in Emmet Otter?
What food-themed song does Emmet's jug band plan to perform at the talent show until someone else performs it first?
What family-themed song does the jug band perform at the show instead (and reprise at the end in a duet with Emmet's Ma)?
The multitalented Harvey Beaver, voiced by Jim Henson, is the only member of the jug band to play two instruments. Name one of the two that he plays.
Most of the Emmet Otter songs were written by Paul Williams, a popular songwriter, especially in the 70's, who also wrote the Billboard #1 70's hits "Rainy Days and Mondays" and "We've Only Just Begun" for what band?
Though beautiful, especially as sung by Ma Otter, this song about passing over into the afterlife is surprisingly deep and heartwrenching for a children's holiday show. (No, you have something in your eye!). It was also featured in the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas special, and Jerry Nelson (voice of Emmet) sang it at Jim Henson's memorial service in 1990. What is the song? (sniffle)
