Dr. Teeth to Appear on Muppet Babies!

As we previously reported, Statler, Waldorf, Bunsen, Beaker, Rowlf, Rizzo, and Dr. Teeth would all be making guest appearances on the new Muppet Babies reboot. 

Since then, Statler, Waldorf, Bunsen, Beaker, and Rizzo have all made their debuts and tomorrow we can scratch one more name off the list... Dr. Teeth!

The good doctor will be appearing as his regular adult Muppet self inside a Muppet Babies fantasy, just like he did on the original series episode "Muppets Not Included"!

Dr. Teeth in "Muppets Not Included"

Here is the full episode description and clip (courtesy of Collider)

In the first story of the episode titled “The Good, The Bad and The Froggy,” Kermit and the gang go on a rootin’-tootin’ Wild West Adventure. Then, in “Muppet Rock,” the Muppet Babies form a rock band and Dr. Teeth makes a special guest appearance. 

Here's a (Dr. Teeth free) promo for the “The Good, The Bad and The Froggy/Muppet Rock”

That leaves only Rowlf to make his Muppet Babies reboot debut!

You catch it Friday, June 15th at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT on Disney Junior.

Bunsen, Beaker, and Rizzo Make Muppet Babies Debut!

We now have our first look at the newest additions to the Muppet Babies nursery: Rizzo, Bunsen and Beaker!

Rizzo make his debut in the 5th episode of the series airing today.  

Collider has a clip:

Bunsen and Beaker join the crew in an upcoming episode: 

It seems Rizzo will start off as an antagonist for the main group, while Bunsen and Beaker retain their more gentle nature. That leaves Dr.Teeth (who can already been seen in a background image) and Rowlf to make their debuts!
