MUPPET BABIES - Good Clean Fun

Air Date/Released Saturday, December 8, 1984
Station/Studio CBS / The Jim Henson Co.
Host/Star The Muppets

Spun-off from a scene in THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN (1984), the Muppet characters are babies in a nursery managed by Nanny (voice of Barbara Billingsley). Their imaginations lead to wild adventures, with lesson-based emphasis on teamwork, problem solving, and friendship.

After breaking one of Nanny's lamps, the Muppet babies engage in thorough house-cleaning, leading to more messes. While cleaning the kitchen, Fozzie sees The Three Stooges in a pie fight, accomplished by splicing in the cream puff fight scenes from SLIPPERY SILKS (1936).


The writer of MUPPET BABIES was Jeffrey Scott [Maurer], Moe Howard's grandson.
