Is this true? What episode was she in? -- Danny Toughpigs 13:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

It's true, actually, though they refer to her as "Aunt Fanny." I have no idea what the episode title was, but it involved Nanny going on vacation, and the characters are afraid of who will take care of them while she's gone (having typical Muppet Babies visions of aliens and Dickensian overlords and so forth). It turns out to be Aunt Fanny, who bounds in wearing a basketball jersey and dribbling, as far as my memory serves. I don't remember seeing her in more than one episode, but I wasn't a hardcore Muppet Babies viewer, so it's possible. I'm not sure if I'd describe her as wacky just based on that, though a nursemaid having a sister who apparently is a professional (or possibly amateur) female basketball player is a bit unusual. Unless she just wears that outfit to entice Officer Caruthers. --Andrew, Aleal 13:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Aha! Brief googling turned up the episode title: Episode 311: Around the Nursery in 80 Days. I don't know about any other appearances though, which is what the current wording implies. Brad, some help here? Also, since the page links to sister, and since the Muppet relatives pages have been mostly split up into subpages but without the Muppet description, should we start adding families of animated characters, human characters, and especially creatures (Dinosaurs has quite a few worth adding). --Andrew, Aleal 13:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
