Again, as a new feature for weekend (and Monday morning) visitors to the John Larroquette Project, here’s an old favorite from the JLP vaults… The more I reflect on it, the more it becomes clear that Muppet Babies was a seriously screwed up show. The show’s concept: nine freakishly deformed orphans hang around their one-room orphanage and indulge themselves in unhealthy delusional fantasies about the outside world. Nanny was supposed to be taking care of these little circus freaks, but she rarely bothered to make an appearance until the end of the episodes. She would scold them for a bit and resolve plot twists as the show’s own deus ex machina. I don’t know what she was doing for the other 27 minutes of every show - maybe obsessively knitting more of those bizarre green striped socks and mumbling to herself about why God had punished her with these malformed children with their revolting, oversized eyes. The Muppet Babies themselves ostensibly spent their time using their “imaginations” to “make [their] dreams come true.” This is pure horsecrap. My guess is that Nanny doped up their gruel with a few hallucinegens to get the little brats off her case so she could take a nap for once in her life. So we then have the Babies indulging their fancies in countless inane little fantasy sequences. The spoiled swine-child was particularly insufferable with her narcissism and portly frame. I suppose you could say that I’m not a fan. Going beyond that, my hatred for the Muppet Babies is only rivaled by my hatred for the Green Bay Packers, or the sun. If all three were to be swallowed alive in a grotesque display by the Loch Ness Monster, I wouldn’t shed a tear. I’d probably help wipe his mouth for him, provided I could avoid being eaten alive.

What did she look like? Having never seen the show I couldn't venture an educated guess.
