Why isn't Skeeter a Muppet?

Why Isn't Skeeter part of the regular Muppets? She was on Muppet Babies?

Because Skeeter was created especially for the Muppet Babies, to add a second strong female presence in the nursery. She never was part of the regular Muppet family.

Also, Bunsen & Beeker were never really considered "regular" muppet babies. They would come over & visit the nursery from time to time though. I always wondered why they didn't choose to make a muppet baby version of Janice. They could have made her into a cute little muppet baby.

They did do Baby Janice for one episode. I still haven't seen that one; any help?

Bunsen and Beeker came on quite regularly if I remember correctly. Think of baby versions of them in their cute li'l labcoats. Toodle-oo!

I think they became a big part in later seasons. I know there were in at least one vesion of the openeing. But they would always visit. They didn't live with the other muppet babies. I suppose it wouldn't make sense to jst have them live there all of a sudden.

I'd like to see an adult Skeeter in puppet form as a special guest puppet on a new show. Maybe not a full time character (though that wouldn't be bad if done right). It could be interesting, though hard core fans would be so mad. However, i think it would be good as long as they don't mention the muppet babies. If she was introduced as a new character that no one but Scooter knows about it would be cool. It would be a name that people would know, but a blank slate as well.

I always wondered about that.

Pajamas, actually. Cute little pajamas, and Beaker had bunny slippers!

I remember Bean Bunny was also on Muppet Babies a couple times

Statler and Waldorf were also in Muppet Babies. Well at the end anyways...

I've always imagined Skeeter as a regular cast of the Muppet Show. And I'd also imagine Jerry Nelson doing her voice so he could be part of the Muppet Babies as well.

Robin was on the Muppet Babies sometimes, and that is a Jerry Nelson character. Robin appeared as a little tadpole. I cant remember whether or not he could talk, but he was very cute. They had him in a small glass fish bowl and he came to visit the guys in the nursary once in a while.

The regular characters were Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Skeeter, Scooter, Rowlf, Animal, and Nanny. Bunson and Beaker showed up a bunch of times. Bean Bunny, Robin, [Uncle] Statler, [Uncle] Waldorf, and Janice also showed up on the show.

Nanny and Skeeter were the only chacters that did not have older puppet counter-parts.

No way; Karen Prell would be a much better voice for Skeeter than Jerry. I envision an adult Skeeter sounding somewhat like Red Fraggle given their similar personalities.

That's Right Disneys Muppets! Statler And Waldorf Appeared On Muppet Babies Too! But That Was Just Their Uncles! I Wonder Why?????

Couldn't agree with you more. Red seems like a really good comparisson to Skeeter.
And way to give props to Karen Prell by the way. We all love the boys, but sometimes I think people need reminding about how good the girls really are.
