Skeeter-ial: A Muppet Babies Investigation
Skeeter is missing! On “Muppet Babies,” Skeeter was seen with baby versions of Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Rowlf, Animal, Gonzo the Great, and her twin brother Scooter. All of them grew up to appear on Muppet shows and movies as adults…except Skeeter. On Skeeterial: A Muppet Babies Investigation, Matt Manser and Eileen Mary O’Connell (with the help of special guests) try to answer the question, what happened to Skeeter? Is she okay? Was she killed? We’ll watch every episode of the show to search for answers.

SEASON 3 PREMIERE - DID SKEETER BECOME LEW ZEALAND??? On the season 2 finale, a new Skeeter theory was presented that suggests that Skeeter could have grown up to become boomerang fish-throwing Muppet Lew Zealand. Could it be true? We don't know, but the photos make it seem like a possibility.
