Muppet Babies

I remember watching Muppet Babies when I was a kid and loved it. Used to get up early on a Saturday morning especially to see it. It was great. You saw all our favourite Muppets as they were at nursery and I followed their adventures avidly. They were cute and cuddly (just like I was!!) and some of the episodes I remember were quite funny, especially Gonzo.

The style of the Muppet babies was accurate in so far as it followed that which was first shown in the Muppet show... the live action baby Rowlf in one episode of the show was a match for the cartoon baby Rowlf in Muppet Babies. So there was some degree of continuity. It was in cartoon format and remember thinking at the time it would be good as a puppet (or Muppet) show, but I suppose that won't happen now. Bring it out on Region 1 DVD ... PLEASE.

I used to watch this, every Saturday morning on CBS. It was a great show to see them as babies. I really liked Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, and Rowlf. I even liked the episodes, I liked the one when Scooter got big, when he ate Nanny's secret recipe!, I like them all anyways!

Muppet Babies was a good animated program. It was a unique program that featured so many of the wonderful Muppets! The show had a whole bunch of stuff. The show was funny and exciting for what kind of program it was. In My opinion the Muppet Babies was really a head of its time and The show was perfect for the 1980s. I think the show was for both kids and the adults. I think it was a smart show. The main title of the show and the music was good. I don't know if this show is still on TV today but if it is watch this show because it was truly a special one so if you liked the classic Muppet Show, The Muppet Movie, any Muppet movie, Fraggle Rock, and/or the classic Sesame Street Presents: Follow that Bird then check out The Muppet Babies today!

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.

Muppet Babies is, in my opinion, one of the best cartoon shows ever made, and when I was a child, it was definitely my favorite. Every episode was full of humor, imagination, wonderful music, and so much more. Most importantly, Muppet Babies taught children who watched it important moral and social values. Jim Henson combined the humor of his Muppet characters with the innocence of childhood and succeeded in creating a sensational children's program. I can only hope that if and when I do have kids of my own, they grow up watching a rewarding and heartwarming show like this one.
