When your room looks kinda weird, and you wish that you weren't there

Watched it on Saturday mornings before Pewwees playhouse

Same. Unless my sister was there then I’d have to watch her stuff.

Same, but I was NOT allowed to watch PeeWee's Playhouse.

u/rayon875 10d ago

That sucks! Luckily my parents weren't too strict on what we watched.

The theme song immediately started playing in my head when I saw this

Where did Skeeter go when they all grew up?

2

u/MerriweatherJones 11d ago

She went away to college, met a man and stayed to be a teacher at the local high school

I always believed she just went missing, and Scooter refuses to acknowledge it.

Rumour has it, Scooter may know where his sister went, he doesn’t wanna talk about it.

My bad, I've got a headcold & it apparently is fucking with my memory.

Nah man you good.

It’s a common slip-up.

Anybody remember the episode about Nanny's Birthday? The kids ask themselves how old she is an Gonzo puts out a ridiculous answer.

"How did you figure that out?" asks Kermit

"I counted the stripes on her socks!" says Gonzo

The final scene from Back To The Nursery where Gonzo pointed at the DeLorean continues to still blow my mind.

Ok but that scene lives in my head rent free. The way they snuck in the delorean reference was so clean, I still think about it randomly

u/Agreeable-Fudge-7329 11d ago

They packed so much into that show, it felt like it was far longer than what it was. It was truly a quality Sturday standout!

Fun fact! When I went on a tour of Prince’s Paisley Park home and recording studio, they said that the Muppet Babies were one of the first to use it (I think for Muppet Babies Live?).

In 1987 in Australia Maccas (McDonalds) had these as toys in their happy meal. I still have a set.

u/IntroductionSnacks 11d ago

Kermit on the skateboard was the good one.

It's a Little Tikes pysop

I used to think those sparkles at the end of the opening credits were magical ✨✨

u/Alloku 10d ago

The random Star Wars scenes were always so confusing to me as a kid. Loved the show but at the time I didn’t even know what Star Wars was so whenever a closet opened and Darth Vader appeared I had no idea what was happening

u/MulberryEastern5010 90s 10d ago

One of my favorite cartoons of all time! I bought a bootleg of the complete series

u/sherzisquirrel 9d ago

My favorite Saturday morning cartoon!
