Gaming-Themed Muppet Babies Episode, "It's Only Pretendo"

[CastlevaniaDude]

Anyone ever seen it? Tons of gaming-related jokes (Adventures of Link Sausage? Come on!), actual footage from games, etc.

Pretty awesome.

That was pretty interesting, even the Sega Master System and Turbografx 16 were represented. Keith Courage in Alpha Zones at 10:00!

It was interesting to revisit as an adult. There is a lot there that I obviously didn't get as a kid. I just remember being excited to see videogames in anything mainstream. It was the same way I was with The Wizard, Captain N, etc.

Pretty cool stuff. I didn't notice Keith Courage on the first watch. Good eye! And Fantasy Zone, was it?

I remember seeing this episode when I was a kid, and I was all excited to see it. I'll have to re-watch it when I get the chance.

You won't be let down. It's kind of awesome.

The theme of Muppet Babies was kind of to do a Walter Mitty take on popular culture. Great show.

Wow I haven't watched Muppet Babies in forever. I was reminded that I can't stand Piggy but baby Animal is adorable.

That's pretty much it. When I was like 5, though, and had no concept of "pop culture", I thought it was the absolute coolest thing in the world to see real games on TV. Finding this episode, I've realized just how sharp Muppet Babies actually was, which obviously went over my head at a much younger age.

I have no recollection of this at all, and I was quite enraptured by Muppet Babies back in the day.
