Muppet Babies Spin-Off Canceled After Just 3 Episodes

In 1985, CBS aired a Muppet Babies spin-off so rushed and broken that Jim Henson helped kill it… after just THREE episodes. Then it was buried so deep that many Muppet fans have never even heard of it. Join us as we uncover Little Muppet Monsters - the strange lost half-hour that followed Muppet Babies inside the infamous Saturday-morning block Jim Henson’s Muppets, Babies & Monsters. It was supposed to turn one hit into a full hour of Muppets (and more ad money)… but instead became a Frankenstein’s monster of live-action Muppets, rushed Marvel Productions animation, and chaotic basement wraparounds. It became a brutal warning about what happens when Henson’s creative machine gets pushed too hard. Along the way, we’ll connect the dots between Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, The Muppet Show ending, Marvel Productions, and the financial pressure Henson faced after The Dark Crystal - and why “building worlds” suddenly meant making business decisions about what should never see the light of day. ▶️ Part 2 (The Dark Crystal):    • The Fantasy Movie That Nearly Broke Jim He...   ▶️ Part 1 (Land of Gorch):    • Jim Henson’s DOOMED SNL Gamble   *Footage source credit:* Little Muppet Monsters episodes sourced from Ocpmovie's DVD restoration, done with the help of Jack Criddle and Helge Bernhardt, among others.
