I used to watch Muppet Babies a lot as a kid, probably for lack of anything else on. Of course, the episode I remember most was the one with the spoof of Nintendo games. Miss Piggy ninja-flipping her way through the Donkey Kong stage, Gonzo saying "It not how you play the game, it's whether I win and you lose that matters", and so on. I heard somewhere that the chance of Muppet Babies being released on DVD is zero because they'd have to get licenses for all the video clips they used. But I wonder: if it's fair use to use a few seconds of something, then I thought Muppet Babies always used short clips of everything, so maybe a lot of it would fall under fair use. I don't know, wishful thinking. If nothing else, the show seemed to make good use out of the clips they used.
And I saw Muppet Babies before I was even aware of the Muppets, so in a way I was able to see them grow up. Gonzo was always my favorite character.
They have the whole episode up on YouTube if you're feeling nostalgic, it's called "It's Only Pretendo". I like it more than when Doug did its Nintendo spoof called "Doug's Lost Weekend" where Doug was playing Space Munks for hours on a Super Pretendo. But then, that more accurately reflected my weekends.
...hmm, maybe that's why I liked Donkey Kong '94 so much, I could ninja-flip through the levels just like Piggy.
