Ma Bear



Emily Bear is Fozzie's mother. She first appeared on The Muppet Show (episode 216) in the audience, watching Fozzie's act. Fozzie insinuated himself into all the acts that evening, but when he looked out into the audience, he found that his mother fell asleep.

She was also in an act on episode 410, where she sang in the UK Skit "Knees Up Mother Brown."

She later went on to play a main part in A Muppet Family Christmas (which took place in her farmhouse) and The Muppets at Walt Disney World. Her last appearance was playing Fozziwig's mother in The Muppet Christmas Carol.

A younger version of Emily, known as Mrs. Bear, was seen in the Muppet Kids books Fozzie's Last Lap and Fozzie Bear, Star Helper.

Her extended family includes her younger son, Freddie, her brother who left Fozzie his car, when he went hibernating; her father who played baseball with Fozzie and her husband Mr. Bear. She is also good friends with Statler and Waldorf.
