  • Geri and the Atrics is a rock and roll band on The Muppet Show. The polar opposite of Bobby Benson's Baby Band, the group consists of six elderly ladies, and one pair of false teeth. The band appeared in three episodes of The Muppet Show. The group had a rather eclectic sound, performing classic rock and roll songs, but with such instruments as a tuba and cello. Geri and the Atrics debuted in episode 404, with a rendition of "Hound Dog". Statler and Waldorf are quite appreciative, calling the group their kind of act. The band returned in episode 413, singing "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" as the UK Spot. The group resurfaced the following season, asking the musical question "Who Put the Bomp in the Bomp Bomp Bomp" as the opening act of episode 517. Statler and Waldorf, in their status as the show's producers, reverse their previous opinion, calling the act a terrible mistake. The band is unfazed, noting that they have a gig at the Boom Boom Room. While Geri and the Atrics disbanded when the series ended, the group would be recycled on many other occasions when old lady Muppets were required, either individually or collectively. As a group, they sang counterpoint to the babies in The Muppets Take Manhattan; sat with Statler, Waldorf, and Pops in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years; and several members appeared in The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets Tonight, and The Muppets episode "Because... Love‎‎". __NOWYSIWYG__
