One of the series' writers, Jeffrey Scott, spoke of how he incorporated a Scientology teaching into a Muppet Babies episode:[1]
"Hubbard discovered that the number one barrier to study was the MISUNDERSTOOD WORD. He found that the moment a student went past a word he/she didn't understand the rest of the material became more or less 'blank'. [...] So in a 'Muppet Goose' episode I wrote Piggy was reading Little Miss Muffet, and when she read 'sat on a tuffet,' her imagination went blank until she cleared up her misunderstood word."
Someone please please please tell me this is one of Wiki's millions of totally incorrect entries, like how Abraham Lincon was a martian, and how the world is shaped like an ice cream cone.
