Ep 3. Summer's Disaster-Piece; Farewell, Statler and Waldorf

Summer's Disaster-Piece; Farewell, Statler and Waldorf is the third episode from the third season of the popular animated series Muppet Babies. This episode involves the Muppet Babies crew as they try to solve a problem that occurs while they are painting.

The episode centers on the Muppet Babies crew trying to paint a mural of the nursery when they run into trouble. Summer has an idea for the mural, but everyone else disagrees. Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, and Animal prefer to do things their own way, which leads to chaos and confusion.

The disaster begins when Fozzie decides to use all of the paint on one section of the wall, causing a huge mess. Piggy then creates her own section of the mural, but it's vastly different from the original concept. This leads to Gonzo and Animal getting into a paint fight and painting over everything. Summer becomes upset that her idea hasn't been developed, and she storms off.

The rest of the Muppet Babies crew realizes that they've made a mistake, and they need to work together to make the mural right. As they search for a solution, they remember that Statler and Waldorf, the crotchety old men who live in the building, know a lot about art. The Muppet Babies crew detests Statler and Waldorf's negativity, but they decide to ask for their help anyway.

Statler and Waldorf agree to lend their expertise, but on the condition that the Muppet Babies crew listens to them and uses their ideas. This causes more tension among the group since they believe they know what's best for the mural.

But then an accident occurs, and the mural gets ruined beyond repair. The Muppet Babies crew is distraught, but Statler and Waldorf remind them that mistakes can be fixed, and that sometimes, things happen for a reason. They then surprise the Muppet Babies crew by revealing that they were actually artists before they became bitter and cynical.

Statler and Waldorf then offer to help the Muppet Babies crew create a new mural, but this time they will all work together. The Muppet Babies crew agrees, and they come up with an even better idea for the mural than what they had before. The new mural includes aspects of everyone's ideas, and it's a true collaboration.

The episode ends as they unveil the new mural to Miss Nanny, who is overjoyed with the result. The Muppet Babies crew is proud of their work and thankful for Statler and Waldorf's help. The episode also includes a sweet goodbye to Statler and Waldorf, who are moving out of their apartment. The Muppet Babies crew learns that even those who are closed off can offer valuable insight and that working together can create something truly special.

In conclusion, Summer's Disaster-Piece; Farewell, Statler and Waldorf is a heartwarming and entertaining episode that emphasizes the importance of collaboration and creativity in problem-solving. The addition of Statler and Waldorf's character development adds emotional depth to the episode, making it a must-watch for fans of the series.
