Syl Like other shows, the Muppets are animated for our pleasure and we go back to when they were just babies in their cribs. We never see the adult mother who cares for them. But we have the sheer pleasure of watching them get into mischief in their nursery. The animation was different then than today's computerized. The show was pretty faithful to the characters of Miss Piggy, Kermit, and their friends in the nursery. It was aimed at toddlers and Pre-school kids. I was a little too old but I still watched cartoons and I remember watching this on Saturday mornings. I still think shows like the Muppet Babies can still be effective today in programming if more viewers were aware of it's existence. I'm sure young children and even their parents can watch the Muppet Babies.

ultramatt2000-1 It's cute, it's funny, I love it. When people say 80's cartoon. They think of the action adventure ones like THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS, HE-MAN, THUNDERCATS, SILVERHAWKS, NINJA TURTLES, the awesome TRANSFORMERS or the perilous DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS. The ones aimed for girls (but annoyed boys) like JEM! (ech) MY LITTLE PONIES (double ech), STRAWBERRY SHORTCKAKE (tripple ech what the writer of this review is a boy). Or the funny ones like SMURFS, INSPECTOR GADGET, Saturday SUPERCADE and HEATHCLIFF. This was one of the funny ones. This was before RUGRATS. There are a lot of rip-offs by cartoons studios (like Hanna Barabera) where classic cartoon characters are depicted as youngsters. As if they got dumped in the Fountain of Youth. MUPPET BABIES is the best of them all (not to mention that it is the one that started it all).I used to watch this when I was a kid. This came after BEARNSTIEN BEARS. I loved it. Kermit and Gonzo were my favorites. Every time when my brother and I were going out to get our shoes on and waiting for Dad (we were kids back then), we sang the theme song. I remember some friends of ours had stuffed dolls of the characters. They were cute. I had four puzzles of cartoon characters. There was Gonzo, Kermit, Chilly Willy, and Woody Woodpecker. I like the Kermit one because Woody was a trouble maker. Memories aside, this show inspires children on what do when you have nothing to do and encourages imagination and creativity. I mean look at James "Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe. His Basement of Doom attraction for his Haunted House was inspired by one. All I have to say is this is the best show ever made. Because the episode, "Out of this World History" contains footage from 1925 classic THE LOST WORLD which inspires me to look at movies with fun, excitement and special effects! Every time I watch this show now-a-days, I play this game called "Guess the film footage" or "Name that movie that is featured." I have a blast and I love to relive the magic. Now what caused me to watch these on YouTube? Because I saw too old animes created by Fuji F. Fujiko: PERMAN and KAIBUTSUKUN. If it wasn't for that show, I would not find my happy spot. They are so simple, that they they reminded me of MUPPET BABIES. Google those up you're on the internet. I wish this show is on DVD. Bottom line: Highly Recommend it. Screw Spongebob and other crap on TV these days.

JasonIK75 This was such an entertaining show. The Muppets were funny, the writing was clever and everything worked so well. Gonzo referenced the Twilight Zone on one episode, changing it to the Weirdo Zone and even tried singing the music. My personal favorite moment was Fozzie's bizarre non-joke "What's the difference between an orange?" If you think about it, there is no difference between a thing and itself. At the same time, it borders on being a Zen Buddhist koan, allowing for any particular answer.Jim Henson was such a genius and Muppet Babies was one of his many great creations. We all miss you Jim. Thanks for the memories. R.I.P.

Angel Meiru 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.
