Of all my questions that have gone unanswered, the one that resonates within the confines of my skull is this one:
Who the fuck pulled the plug on Muppet Babies?
It’s been almost 15 years since the show last aired, and to this day I find it funny. How many other programs have featured Tom Selleck professing his love to a cartoon pig with blonde hair? Where else is “Native American” a valid career path?*
Did you think Garbage Pail Kids was canceled before it even reached American TV sets because it was a crap show? No. Garbage Pail Kids was canceled because it was set to air in the timeslot after Muppet Babies, a show so brilliant that you could air M*A*S*H* after it and it would seem like a very special episode of Yogi Bear.
Watch:
*Completely serious – during a tune about career paths, Miss Piggy Sports a festive Indian headdress.

AWWWW!!! That last part with Nanny and Rowlf was adorable! I was never too fond of the later episodes, but this one wasn’t a half bad example! :)
