Muppet Babies were writers?




                Muppet Babies was a Saturday morning kid’s show that first aired on September 15, 1984, and was last aired on CBS in 1991.  They lived in this massive large window nursery, and they were watched over by a green and white socked nanny.  All these babies had hyperactive imaginations, and often embarked on an escapade into the world of fantasy world; however, they tend to get themselves into a chancy position. This adventures would entrain me for hours, and watch as the Muppet’s baby avatars were placed into famous characters rolls; Kermit being Luke Skywalker from Star wars fame.  Eventually, a peripheral event, like the nanny coming to see what noise was, saved them form their unpredicted kismet. They were constantly finding creative ways to entering themselves, as they learn to work together to endure their wild-imagined voyages.

                Now after that brief descriptions where is this proof that these guys would be writers. Well, in the intro song:


                                 “Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come true
                                      Muppet Babies, we'll do the say for you
                                      When your room looks kind of weird
                                       And you wish that you weren't there
                                         Just close your eyes and make believe

                                                    And you can be anywhere.”

                                                                 That’s what they did!


                  They played in a blanket, and used their thought to portray fun! As an adult, we now can write to make our world come to life instead of playing it out in a nursery. Well playing in blanket pretending it is a monster octopus is fun, we as adults cannot find the fun in that anymore-well, we could, but it would not be fun for very long.

                    They wrote their own stories! They used the media they had, brought out their inspirations, and gave it a story. Short and copied other people’s ideas, but they were making stories. That’s how you write. You place down your imagination, and play it out! The Muppet Babies were writers!




                    Other such media have helped writers as well.  Through music, we can feel the beat of the trumpet flare as you lead an army, a quart of slow playing violins can make you feel at peace and in a meadow filled with floors, and with the sounds piano can make you feel that you are in the 1800’s with a bunch of cowboys beating at the Poker table. TV, can show you the drama of daytime shows, and show you sports you love. Video games let you control an avatar in a digital world, comics can show you pictures of another planet, dancing can free you from stress, live show can take you into any time period, and a novel, a book, can bring you anywhere with just a few words.

                The Muppet gang with their great imagination would have been great scientist or great writers.
            So here’s my advice to the people who are writing right now. If you need some creativeness to write right now, go watch some Muppet Babies. As Miss Piggy says, “Just close your eye and make believe, and you can be anywhere.”
