After the success of ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984'', Creator/{{CBS}} wanted another show to cash in. Thus, Creator/JimHenson and Creator/DepatieFrelengEnterprises created a mixed live action and animated series for CBS, ''Little Muppet Monsters'' (which ran in an hour-long format with ''Muppet Babies'', billed as ''Muppets, Babies and Monsters''). The concept was three live action Muppet monsters: Tug (Creator/RichardHunt), Molly (Creator/CamilleBonora), and Boo (Creator/DavidRudman), ran their own TV station from the basement of the Muppets' apartment building. The show mixed live-action Muppet segments with animated bits, including ''Pigs In Space'', ''Kermit and Fozzie: Private Eye'', '''Muppet Sport Shorts with Animal'', and other supporting segments.
