Through a massive 7 series, 107 episodes, and winning the Humanitas Prize, Muppet Babies was a Jim Henson production featuring his classic Muppet characters as toddlers who used their imaginations to keep them occupied all day. Each episode featured a story told (or argued) amongst the muppets, with a multitude of actual movie footage that ranged from Star Wars, Beetlejuice and Ghostbusters to vintage, black-and-white silent films.

The Muppets featured were main character Kermit [Frank Welker], his overly-aggressive pursuant Piggy [Laurie O'Brien], Kermit's awful joke telling pal, Fozzie [Greg Berg], big-nosed Gonzo [Russi Taylor], piano-playing Rowlf [Katie Leigh], the rambunctious Animal [Howie Mandel], Bunsen [Dave Coulier] the child prodigy, his incoherent hypochondriac assistant Beaker [Frank Welker], as well as brother and sister pair Scooter [Greg Berg] and Skeeter [Howie Mandel]. The Muppets were adopted by Nanny [Barbara Billingsley], who'se likeness (beyond her green and white striped sock covered feet) was never shown throughout the entire series.
