Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies aired on CBS from 1984 to 1991. The series featured infant versions of the Muppet characters including Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Scooter, Gonzo, Skeeter, and Rowlf. The Muppet babies lived in a nursery with a woman named “Nanny,” who was only shown from the shoulders down.
The idea for the cartoon came from The Muppets Take Manhattan in a dream sequence where Miss Piggy imagines what it would’ve been like to grow up with Kermit. Though Muppet Babies was a relic of the ’80s, the series has been rebooted and aired on Disney Junior in 2018.
