That's what I figured. Although I don't know why they had to give Scooter a sister. I'm sure they could have just made up a character. I did like the Scooter Skeeter thing though. I dunno. Too much thinking about a series that is already done :big_grin:

There's plenty to explore on this world. Maybe there aren't any new continets, but there are remote plces to research and stuff. But back to Skeeter. I don't get why they added Skeeter for Muppet Babies. Was it to add another female charcter? And if so, why didn't they just have Janice as part of the group?
I was thinking the same thing. At the time Muppet Babies was made, people knew who Janice was, but no one knew Scooter had a sister. I didn't see that episode of "Muppet Babies" where Janice appeared. Was she still sort of a valley girl in that?

Yeah. Me too. The new characters must have appeared at the time I stopped watching the show. I wonder why they didn't have the Electric Mayhem there originally (well, except for Animal). I guess they considered how hip and groovy those characters were on TMS and it was hard to picture them as babies.

I think Nanny had enough babies to worry about. :big_grin: She didn't need a baby Electric Mayhem rocking the house. It would have been funny to see Dr teeth without his beard and Floyd without his mustache (sp?). Maybe that's why they didn't put them in. Too much facial hair. :big_grin: lol

Yeah. That's food for thought. It also would have been interesting to see a Baby Swedish Chef or a Baby Lew Zealand. Maybe even a Baby Sam the Eagle.
