The Evolution of Kermit the Frog (1955-present)

As Seen in	Year	Notes
Sam and Friends	1955-1965	The original Kermit is an abstract character, and not yet a frog. His feet are rounded, and he doesn't wear his signature collar yet.
The Ed Sullivan Show	1965-1968	Kermit sports a red sweater as his trademark attire during this period. Kermit also begins to develop a more distinctly angular arch on his snout.
Sesame Street	1968-1970	Kermit is now a frog. No longer wearing his red shirt, he has a single collar similar to the present-day version. Also, his feet have changed to flippers, and his body becomes noticeably rounder. The position of Kermit's eyes give him an almost cross-eyed appearance.
Sesame Street	1970-1976	Kermit sports a double collar, although it's never visible when he wears his reporter attire for the News Flash segments.
The Muppet Movie	1976-1981	When The Muppet Show begins, Kermit's collar is a single layer with 11 points.
The Great Muppet Caper	1981-1982
A Muppet Family Christmas.	1982-1990	This version of Kermit has more of a pointer mouth.
The Earth Day Special	1990-1996	Kermit's skin is lighter than the previous version.
Muppets Tonight	1996-2005	His eyes are slightly repositioned.
Promotional photo	2005-present
