706 The Muppet of Invention

After Uncle Statler and Uncle Waldorf talk about how they hardly had any of the things that the babies had when they were their age, the Muppet Babies decide to make their own inventions. While most of the babies play themselves as inventors, Baby Fozzie plays Fozzieleo and Ben Franklin, Baby Scooter plays a young Thomas Edison, and Baby Gonzo is the busy patent office clerk.

Songs[]

  • "We've Got a Nose for the Future"
