When the TV breaks in time for their favorite cartoon Funny Freddie, the Babies turn a cardboard box into a TV and make their own shows, including a Star Trek parody, commercials, a music video, talk shows and more. Piggy appears on The Tonight Show, and Fozzie even manages to make Johnny Carson laugh.
