Ever wonder about Nanny

[bobhopesite]

Ever wonder about Nanny how they always showed just her legs? From the waist down. Ever wonder what she looked like?

[Infinity Sirius]

I once had a dream where she had an afro and more humane version of the Wicked Witch of the West. Kind of creepy actually...

[McFraggle]

Yes, but I always had her pictured as an elderly woman with with hair and a hat.

[yodaduff]

I always thought she'd be kinda ugly and blonde. I don't know why though? :confused:

[Dantecat]

I can't tell,But I'd always thought she'd be pretty with long brown hair!

BTW,They never did show her face at all but when time when there was this one episode where the muppet babies about being a monster or something like that before and what happened was nanny imagined her self being a monster and it did show her face before which was just a monster with long pretty brown hair or so.

[McFraggle]

Or possibly like this.

[yodaduff]

Yeah McFraggle, that is pretty close, I guess.

[Docnzhoss]

I can't tell,But I'd always thought she'd be pretty with long brown hair!

Me too! But the Barbara Billingley idea is funny, too.

[beforemyway]

na! she wouldn't have been blound hair! and I'm assuming since the moster had brown hair, so would she.. cource, for myself, I always assumed she would have short brown hair, and probably wear a hat most of the time :p

[Kimp the Shrimp]

i figured she was darth vader's wife

[Beauregard]

I think she was middle aged, and pretty with blonde hair and blue eyes.

[McFraggle]

i figured she was darth vader's wife

You mean Natalie Portman. ;)

[Kimp the Shrimp]

You mean Natalie Portman. ;)

i guess so now but back in 1986 she was my age i just was joking around

[McFraggle]

I know. ;)

[Vic Romano]

Really? I thought she'd be old with grey hair.

[Kimp the Shrimp]

i that she was young and hot LOL i have the Hots for NANNY J/K

[maxdrive]

Well i think nanny might look like Barbara Billingsley because she did the voice of nanny

Makes sense to me.

[McFraggle]

That was the point I was trying to make. ;)

[Infinity Sirius]

Remember on Peanuts on we never saw the adults of heard their voices? I think Muppet Babies copied that idea of the Muppet Babies world being only for children.

[Vic Romano]

If Palisades ever made the Muppet Babies toy line; wouldn't it be rully funny if they made a Nanny action figure that was just from the waist down?

I remember a Muppet Babies live show (can't remember if it was on ice or just guys in suits running around), but a giant pair of just legs that extended beyond the top of the curtain beyond the audience's view was how Nanny was portrayed.... I feared those legs... I thought she would come into the audience and kill me and everyone else!

Rowlf: Hi Nanny! What're you up to?
NannY: Hi Rowlf! I'm going to kill the audience! Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha! SQUISH SQUASH SQUOOSH!!!

It would be LOL.

[maxdrive]

wouldnt have been funny to have nanny also talk like jive jsut like Barbara Billingsley did in the airplane movies i could jsut picture her talking the them like that

[McFraggle]

That would have been funny. :)

[mupitz]

I seem to remember seeing nanny's top half and face in one of the muppet baby storybooks. I've passed them on to my kids and I'll look later. If I find what I'm thinking of, I'll scan it in and post it if yous would like.

[Beauregard]

Hmm. I was thinking Blonde hair, but having watched one and a half episodes yesterday...I'm thinking brown hair.

Definatly.

But would be interested to see what you've got Becky.

[Infinity Sirius]

Perhaps it shall always remain a mystery *Twlight Zone music plays*

[dwayne1115]

I kind of wish that Nanny would kind of be like the Teacher in the charly Brown Cartoons where you really cant understand her. but the kids could. and i think nanny would be a very old lady. maybe even Jane henson typ. of corse i dont know jane very well she just seems the typ of Nanny for the Muppet Babies. I also want to say if she ever does come on here that i dont think of Mrs. Henson as old i just think she would make a good nanny.

[Hickory]

I always figured a teenager, like my baby sitter at the time but as a cartoon

[McFraggle]

I think she's clearly elderly, but I always thought I had seen her in a pink bonnet in something, but I could be just imagining things.

[maxdrive]

you know i always pictured nanny like the grandma type she seems so much lieke very grandmother but it seems the babys live there does tha tmean it is like a ofenage and she runs it

[doloreshopesite]

I imagined her bald LOL

[McFraggle]

I imagined her bald LOL

Uhhhh.... :rolleyes:

[mupitz]

So far, of the books I've located there are more to find, I still have not found Nanny's face. But I know I've seen it somewhere. The search continues.

My mother bought my youngest a stuffed Piggy for Christmas and it came with a one episode DVD of Muppet Babies. Remember the one when it was raining and the babies had to play inside with the activity book?

I enjoyed it more than the kids did!

[Gideon]

who knows why they never showed her upper body

[maxdrive]

i think it was to show the story more though a babys eye level like your the same size of the muppet babies when you look at them from that hight all you would be able to see would see up to nanny's socks

[bobhopesite]

I imagined her bald LOL

She's Joking.

[McFraggle]

I think it is kind of neat, because it leaves you with that intrigue as to what she really looks like.

[maxdrive]

yeah it does

[McFraggle]

I was partially right, but I guess the head's a bad thing to lose. :D

[christyb]

I actually think that I've seen that far up her body in a couple of episodes. However this does spark a new debate. What do you think Nanny's head should look like????

[GelflingWaldo]

Here is a picture of Nanny: http://free.hostdepartment.com/M/Muppetland/nanny.html (http://free.hostdepartment.com/M/Muppetland/nanny.html)

Feel free to copy the picture and then put your own head/face onto it. ;)

Here is a picture (with a head) of who I think raised the Muppets:

[McFraggle]

The color doesn't do him justice. ;)

[bobhopesite]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ReneeLouvier]

*laughing histercially* Great picture. XD!!!

[Sgt Floyd]

*laughing histercially* Great picture. XD!!!

I know! lol:excited:

[Bill Bubble Guy]

i figured she was darth vader's wife

So she must have had a part time job looking after the Muppet Babies before she died giving birth to Luke and Lei (not sure about the spelling)

Oh how did the poor little things ever get by after she was gone?:( :cry: :concern:

[TheJimHensonHour]

hmm couple things
I always thought nany would look like a muppet with a muppety face type deal....perhaps hilda was there nanny when she was younger would make sence lol
the other thing was when I was a litlle boy I went to see muppet babies live with my mother man was I ticked off cause we finally thought ha! we're gonna see nanny! right!? no wrong! it was just a pair of giant legs! ugh I was so upset it made me hate the entire show......grrr

[Dantecat]

Which MB's Live did you see?Was Bunson and Beaker there?:excited:

[SurfPark]

I always thought Rose from the Golden Girls used to take care of the Muppet Babies, and the Nursery was located in St. Olaf.

[erniebert1234ss]

oh, no...

oh, no...

oh, no...

oh, no...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! (thought i'd say oh, no again, didn't ya!)

Rose from GG? St.Olaf?? Man, that's classic.

Here's my vision of Nanny.

I always thought Nanny was the ever-crazy Carol Burnett...That's just me...

BJ

[heralde]

When I was little I had this crazy dream where Nanny looked sort like Beaker...no idea why lol :eek:

[erniebert1234ss]

maybe Nanny was Beaker's grandmommy or something...

BJ

[Xerus]

Also I've noticed that when they have another adult on the show, they don't show their faces either. Like when Nanny invited their neighbor Officer Caruthers over, they didn't show his face, just his lower body. Or Mr. Jenkins, the guy who came to take away one of the old chairs. Or a zookeeper who came to reclaim a lost koala. And Nanny's sister who came over to watch the kids. And in their imagination, they met a vicious cowboy called One Eyed Jake, whose face wasn't show either.

I think the only adult faces that were shown were Waldorf's and Statler's.

[heralde]

I think the only adult faces that were shown were Waldorf's and Statler's.

Yeah I think that's right, because they are "Muppets" as opposed to "real grown ups."

BJ

[AbbessBryony]

um, what happened to Kermitage? WHERE'S THE PICTURES??? (sorry)

BJ

I've been wondering about that as well.

[Vic Romano]

Whew, at least it's not just me. That's weird though, what's the problem over there?

[erniebert1234ss]

Is someone going to update us?

BJ

[Sgt Floyd]

Whew, at least it's not just me. That's weird though, what's the problem over there?

I dunno. I couldnt see it either. Actually, all the collection section images were missing:grouchy:

[erniebert1234ss]

Hmm, it's looking more and more like Kermitage is going down for repairs again...

BJ

[melissa@muppet]

i always thought nanny had beautiful blue eyes, long brown hair and a beautiful smile like julia roberts.

[christinefood]

yea .. i thought she'd be old too
hmm .. i always wondered about her

-christine :)

[JJandJanice]

I have to say that I never really thought about what she looked like? But no that you mention it I would think she's not really old, like in her 40's or so.

Wouldn't it be something in Muppet Babies that instead of Nanny. What if Hilda was the babies watcher. I just thought about that, I think it would of be kinda cool.

[crabcakes]

I always thought she'd have look like the barbara billingsley hoojamaflip too. with brown hair.

The thing with only showing the legs; they did that on Cow and Chicken too, that was was great show:crazy:
