Since Disney is now releasing animated programs on DVD (Ducktales, Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers, Gargoyles, etc) do you think Muppet Babies will come to DVD since Disney owns it now after the exclusive Disney and Henson deal?

It's very possible. I do know that about three or four Muppet Baby dolls each come with one episode of the show on DVD. I'd like to see Disney release this. This was, appropriately enough, my first introduction to the Muppets as a little kid, so I have fond memories of this show.

I'd say "Muppet Babies" on Disney DVD is a question of "when," not "if." I'm hoping they don't wait until they after done with "The Muppet Show." They seem very intent on really making use of their newfound Muppets property, which is great for fans when it comes to things like this show.

I'm also really, really hoping for "Muppets Tonight." I think it has a pretty good chance of being released as well, but I'm not as confident about it as I am about "Muppet Babies." If they do release it, I think it probably won't be until they are done with "The Muppet Show," as they are similar series. All the more reason to want these season sets ASAP.

I remember watching Muppets Babies as a kid and thought it was silly.
I don't know if I'll buy them if they are release on DVD.

I was considering buying it for the memories, but then I found out that it went for 7 seasons!

Wow 7 season CBS was milking that show.

I barely remember anything about the show. I know I watched it alot when I was little though.

As much as I love the muppets I have to agree with MMP that this show was silly. A bit kidyish for me. I rather see Muppets Tonight on DVD.

I would love to have muppet babies . I would love it if it got released to dvd i would so buy it i m a cartoon fanatic well atleast for the old good ones

Actually it was on for 8, i know some sites have it listed till 1991 but it was actually 1992. They seem to be off with their cartoons, they have Garfield listed till 94 when it was 95 actually.

Anyways i'd love to see the show, if for nothing else than to watch them with my kids. i believe it is a very well done show. i actually have some episodes on DVD (got em with the dolls for my niece) and the show holds up extremely well.

The main question will be getting the movie rights to the various clips it used. But i would buy it in a heart beat.

I loved the Muppet Babies!
They were soo adorable! I wish they showed them on TV still...
It'd be nice if a boxset came out. Bring back some memories!

this little cartoon was one of my favourites when I was a kid....
I would looooooove to have this on dvd, but I´m afraid it would be kinda hard for disney to release it, cause all the rights they have to get, this show had several clips and tunes from famous movies and shows, I remember a whole episode dedicated to star wars, for example...

I'm the editor of Muppet Babies at tv.com and the episode list is correct. Also if Disney were to release it they would probably do it with 26 episodes a set like the up-coming release of Gargoyles. So it would be about 4 boxsets. I would do anything for Muppet Babies on DVD!!

I'm guessing I would buy it since it was one of my favourite cartoons as a kid. I loved many shows growing up in the 80's but for Saturday mornings this was one of a handful of shows I would never absolutely miss.

As a child of the 80's I remember watching the show EVERY week. Heck I'm almost 23 years old and I'd still sit down and watch it if i could, i think that highly of it.

Goodness knows me mother couldn't get me up for school during the week but saturday morning i had an internal alarm that would wake me up at 7:45 on the dot. To this day i don't know how i did it.

I'd make myself a little breakfast and sit down in front of that tv and watch the show. CBS had a heck of a lineup in those days. At various points you had MB, Garfield, Pee Wee's Playhouse and Ninja Turtles. In fact at one point (maybe about a year, before Pee Wee got in trouble) I believe they were all on at the same time.

Great show. Saturday morning cartoons in the 80's were at their apex.

BTW Jammin good to see you here, the crowd here is generally just a little more receptive to MB than Muppet Central. They are purists on the subject.

Yeah, I know! lol

I was wondering about the deal Disney got with the muppets. It seems that in the past, whenever Muppets change studios, some movies remain exclusive to that company. "The Muppets Take Manhattan" was Sony I believe and when Disney got Muppet rights in the 90's, they never released it. Then when the Muppets transfered back to Sony, Disney still owned "Muppet's Christmas Carol" and "Muppets Treasure Island." Then Sony made "Muppets In Space" and that doesn't seem to be transfering over to Disney either. I'm just curious why all these other Muppet properties that Disney had nothing to do with originally ("The Muppet Show," "The Muppet Movie," "the Great Muppet Caper," and "Muppet Babies") get bought in the rights, but not "Manhattan" and "Space."

Well Disney never bought Henson in the 90's. There were going to, but then Jim died so they never did. However, in 2004 Jim's dream came true.

I remember the muppet babies it used to be my favorite show when i was a little kid

Same here. Alls I have now is 15 episodes (4 from dolls) 11 from bootleg.
