I thought it was uncomfortably weird as a little kid and never watched it. Then I became a Douglas Adams fan and boy have I regretted the lousy tastes of my child-self.

I mentioned this upthread but whatever you do, do not search for "Siren Ducks" on DeviantArt.
"The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show"
I'm the first lady to respond here, aren't I? What a weird suspicion to have, given the subject.
All the "behind the scenes" books Disney puts out for their movies and the one I want to read the most is the one that will never be written: the one that explains how in the everloving blue-eyed hell a cartoon based upon a movie series about a ragtag hockey team winds up with space-ducks fighting a dragon-man.
@avclub-c3121fa95cd6bc24f771b66449a2142c:disqus There's a particular syndicated 80's cartoon with shitty animation but surprisingly awesome writing that aired *right* before school dismissed. I always had to set the VCR for it every weekday and hope for the best that it'd cooperate. Nearly all of the best episodes…
Couple weird things about "Home Sweet Homer":
Nope, he's just an immortal shape-changing wizard. Fun times.
^^ "SOOOPER-DOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Always bothered me as a kid that by around the eighth time we got to hear that line, none of the three brothers muttered, "God, I hate that statue."
It's weird the things that Disney will release from The Dreaded Vault and what they apparently refuse to release. Somebody in charge of the Vault clearly loves "Peter Pan", since I think we're on the third or fourth Blu-Ray release of it in a decade. Meanwhile, we only got a teaser image of the cover for the fourth…
Yeah, honestly that's the central problem with "The Muppets". I can't think of anyone I know who doesn't still love these characters to death, yet the whole premise is that everyone's forgotten about them just because they haven't been in movies lately? Which itself is crazy because they had a pretty good Christmas…
Haunting as fuck.
Holy Hannah, I forgot the "Avian children need to be with Avian parents" part! Christ, why would they ever make the very first feature-length "Sesame Street" movie only to throw it's signature character into that situation?
I remember vividly that in "Muppet Babies" (shut up, we all watched it as kids; no I don't know why either), they suggested that he was the very last Dodo bird. Which in my mind is a far more depressing possibility than Disco Alien who has been lost on Earth for decades.
Oh man, that one is haunting. The older I get, the more it *hurts*.
Indeed. I suggest we all adopt the term "Cow Orker" to refer to that specific kind of asshole that makes you feel awful for daring to still like good things from your youth. (Though now that I think about it, their vehemently held belief that it's improbable that you can still like things you liked as a child might…
There's also the version from the TV special "The Muppets Remember Jim Henson", and that one… Oh God… No, I'm fine… (Cries forever.)
Oh, I'll support your vote for "Halfway Down the Stairs". I rented the available complete seasons of "The Muppet Show" through Netflix a few years ago and for whatever reason that one blindsided me and got me right in, as the kids say, the Feels.
^^ I was always under the impression that Fraggles weren't mammals. My fan-theory now is that they're some kind of burrowing Troodontid.
