Muppet Time interstitials ran on Nickelodeon when the network began airing reruns of The Muppet Show in 1994. The segments were roughly two minutes in length, and added ostensibly "educational" content to the program for the kids' network.
Each segment was introduced by Robin announcing, "It's Muppet Time!" as an alarm clock would bounce back and forth wildly while ticking, and then it would break as its alarm goes off.
Some recurring situations on Muppet Time include the Frog Scouts, Do Re Mi Monster, and The Two Little Pigs. Robin was the only major Muppet character to appear in these segments, in both the introduction and in the Frog Scouts segments.
These segments were written by Jim Lewis and Craig Shemin. [1]
