MUPPET BABIES - Beauty and the Schnoz

Air Date/Released Saturday, September 17, 1988
Station/Studio CBS / The Jim Henson Co.

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.

Sessions in portrait painting teach the Muppets the merits of individual artistic expression, and storytime shows them how beauty is in the eye of the beholder. During an art class, clips of the Three Stooges in POP GOES THE EASEL (1935) are shown.


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