Les Muppet Babies

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.

The Muppets were genius and the Muppet Babies were another stroke of genius. I loved the Muppet Babies. They were all of your favorite Muppet characters in animated baby form which allowed them to get into all kinds of trouble. It was great.

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!

I remember countless afternoons watching the Muppet Babies, and it brings back some of my fondest memories. The show really taught me about the importance of imagination, which I remember my grandparents telling my mom ,was a word my brother and I would always use. Like when we would build forts from couch cushions, blankets, and pillows. Like when we would play 'Star Wars' just like Gonzo and Kermit would (I was Gonzo). I remember my eager anticipation for newer episodes or ones that I hadn't seen before.

It saddens me to think about a future generation that will grow up without the wonderful creativity and warmth of Jim Henson.

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.
