* AudienceAlienatingPremise: As Scott Shaw (who storyboarded the series) put it "The concept of this second half-hour was neither simple nor particularly well-developed." Basically, three new kid Muppet monsters live in the basement of the Muppets' home and create their own TV station which broadcasts Muppet-based cartoons but only to the familiar Muppet characters living above them. Yeah. When a failure to produce the animated segments in time resulted in the show being replaced after three episodes by a second episode of Muppet Babies (the show was scheduled to follow Muppet Babies to create an hour-long slot called "Muppets, Babies and Monsters"), ratings shot up, and everyone involved said "Well, let's do that, then." LMM's blending of animation and Muppets would be handled much better in Dog City (adapted from a special aired on The Jim Henson Hour), which lasted a good 31 episodes on Fox Kids.

It is used as a visual for engaging in internet arguments, doing homework, as well as other scenarios that involve putting copious amounts of effort into something on a computer.
