Let's just say they would for the sake of argument. Now, fantasy thinking, I feel I'd want season by season sets. But more practically, I'd see Disney releasing smaller disks for younger audiences.

Secondly, would evedrything be in tact? AS of late numerous Muppet DVD's and videos have numerous edits. Considering the VHS releases by Disney in the 90's were cut syndicated versions, would they be on DVD? And would they be able to get the rights to use the clips on the show?

Here are my ideas for some single-disc themed releases:

The Best of Baby Kermit:
The New Adventures of Kermo Polo
What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up?
It's a Wonderful Frog (is that the title of the epsidoe where everybody thinks that Kermit will leave them?)
The Frog Who Knew Too Much

The Best of Baby Piggy:
Piggy's Hyper Activity Book
Piggyrella
The Muppet Art Museum
Beauty and the Snoz

The Best of Baby Fozzie:
Bad Luck Bear
Fozzie's Last Laugh
Journey to the Center of the Nursery

The Best of Baby Gonzo:
Faster than a Speeding Weirdo
Gonzees Playhouse Channel
Gonzo's Muppet Babies Video Show
The Weirdo Zone

The Best of Rowlf and Animal:
When You Wish Upon an Egg Timer
Noisey Neighbors
Raiders of the Missing Muppet
My Muppet Valentine

The Best of Scooter and Skeeter:
Scooter's Hidden talent
Scooter's Uncommon Cold
Scooter by any other name
insert another episode here

Man, it was hard comming up with epsidoes for the last two volumes (I didn't plan on combining Rowlf and Animal into one, but I couldn't think of enough episodes that starred Rowlf).

I remember the kolala episode! In one part Baby Gonzo falls over and there's this yellow stuff on his nose. Was that blood?:confused: :crazy:

I believe that episode is called "A Galaxy Far Far Away", if memory serves me right.

How about interviews with some of the writers and maybe voice artists like Frank Welker, Russi Taylor, and Greg Berg?

Me thinks the episode where they thought Kermit was going to leave was titled Eight Take Away One Equals Panic.

Eight Take Away One Equals Panic is the epsiode where the babies overhear Nanny talking about getting rid of an old chair and mistakenly think that she is talking about getting rid of one of the babies, and eventually they mistakenly think she is considering getting rid of Fozzie.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I happen to think the series would sell rather well.

There are far more niched shows that have sold well on DVD (Mario Bros., etc.).

I think the audience is there, afterall Muppet Babies is one of most widely awarded saturday morning cartoons in history. Anyone who grew up in the 80's or early 90's watched it.

The real issue is and will continue to be the rights to movie clips that are shown in the series. I just don't know if that is something that will be cleared up anytime soon. Just too many factors.

Though in a dream land I'd love to see it. Heck I even had a dream about it the other night (was wandering around a best guy when I stumbled into a section that had like 5 volumes of the series on its shelves.)
