Emily Bear is Fozzie Bear's mother. She debuted in episode 216 of The Muppet Show, where she sat in the Muppet Theater audience. Fozzie insinuated himself into all the acts that evening, but when he looked out into the audience at the end of the show, he found that his mother fell asleep. She later joined her son in episode 410, where she danced as Mother Brown in the UK Skit "Knees Up Mother Brown." She's also mentioned in episode 503, standing off-stage (unseen) during Fozzie's comedy act.
