The original Muppet babies show is unnecessarily hard to find. As far as I know, it’s never seen a release on VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, or any streaming service. It personally drives me crazy because I love the Muppets. The only source for the episodes now seems to be old VHS recordings off the TV when they were airing.
I think the issue is licensing the clips of other media they sometimes composite with the animated characters, green-screen style. To stream or release on home media, they’d need to either renegotiate with each rights holder, animate some replacement, or chop those bits out of the episode. It’s just too much work for too little return.

When MSM fails to preserve media, the responsibility is upon the people to make an archival effort.
that is to say, YARRRR!🏴☠️

You didn’t hear it from me, though.
That’s not too bad of quality. Thanks! This show is begging for a digital remaster though.
