Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Much like "WKRP in Cincinnati" (1978) was with popular music, "Muppet Babies" made extensive use of clips from popular movies and Hollywood shorts as part of the effect on the imagination efforts of each Muppet. However, also like WKRP, the royalties and licensing of these clips may make it impossible to ever rerun these shows in syndication or release them on DVD by season in the future. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: In the credits, Weird Al Yankovic's name is misspelled as Wierd Al. more
Quotes:
Fozzie: What's the difference between an orange?
Nanny: Go ahead, Fozzie, finish the joke.
Fozzie: It *is* finished. *That's* the joke.

I really miss this show, 23 February 2004
Author: Angel Meiru

Man, why did this show have to end? I mean "Muppet Babies" is probably the most quirkiest and original ideas for a Saturday Morning cartoon (what a LOT of cartoons or animated shows these days lack). I mean the most famous Muppets as kids and the interesting idea to splice live action segments with animated segments and not to mention that Imagination is everything moral. Sadly, I don't think kids these days have enough imagination, due to PC crap being produced.

But hey, I heard sometime soon, they will be releasing this show on DVD! I am so happy!

NOTE: In the episode where Gonzo's chicken Camilla is missing, there is one scene in their that uses some footage from "The Dark Crystal", another Henson classic.
