MUPPET BABIES - Sing a Song of Superheroes

Air Date/Released Saturday, September 29, 1990
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.

The city temporarily turns off the water and the Muppet Babies imagine themselves as superheroes in a quest to find the villain who’s stolen the water supply. In Gotham City, Gonzo as Batman, claims to have found the crook, but when he opens the door to reveal the culprit, he instead reveals The Three Stooges in a clip from MICRO-PHONIES (1945).


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