    Did anyone else watch Muppet Babies?

    Not only did the animation *not* suck(at least the early to late mid 80's when I watched it), but it was a brave concept that combined a variety of animation meshed with wacky clips, etc. It was a breathless cusory illustration of pure genius, and think it is leaps and bounds over a lot of...
