One Million Moms One Million Moms is a website aimed at mobilizing parents to engage content creators alleged to have connections with the exploitation of children in popular media . The site is administered by the American Family Association , an organization created to promote fundamentalist Christian values who are most often concerned with issues related to same - sex marriage , pornography , and abortion . Following the premiere of " The Muppets " on ABC , One Million Moms published a blog expressing their interpretation of the show ' s tone . The article claimed that parents would be " shocked " that the show did not represent " what Jim Henson imagined and created " , and placed special emphasis on the Muppets openly and the nature of the characters ' ( and subsequent promiscuity ) . They took issue with Miss Piggy ' s stance as a feminist and pronounced the Muppets as " not suitable for family viewing " . The assertion was made that ABC had " ruined " the Muppets , and that parents would discover the show ' s " perverted nature " too late . In turn , they urged their followers to raise awareness amongst friends and family , and stressed that their readers take action against ABC to " drop all plans to air the program " . Following news that the series had been assigned a new showrunner , the article was updated to imply that the show would take a new direction , and would reduce " blatant adult references " . Blame for low ratings was placed on the initial attempt to take the Muppets in a more adult direction during the creation of the series . They further suggested that their involvement in a public outcry for keeping the Muppets kid - friendly may have been responsible for the network ' s decision to tone the show down . After ABC decided not to renew the series in May 2016 , One Million Moms claimed responsibility for its cancellation in a memo issued a month later . Monica Cole , speaking on behalf of the organization , stated " The show was a flop mainly because it was aimed at a mature audience and addressed subjects not suitable for family viewing . " Cole went on to call the series " crude " and " perverted " , finally praising The Lord that the show got the axe : " These accomplishments are the result of the Lord ' s blessing on the prayers , action alerts , email letters , and gifts from concerned and generous supporters .

Grover ' s Daddy While the exploits of Grover ' s mother have been well documented , his father has been a figure of some mystery . Given the lack of evidence , one might surmise that the patriarchal figure in Grover ' s life is largely absent . More often than not , coverage of Grover ' s parentage is limited to the illustrated page , with only an occasional appearance on screen . A rare mention of Grover ' s father appeared in the pages of " The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover " , in a story about the secret origin of Super Grover . In that story , it is revealed that Grover ' s mommy made Grover ' s superhero outfit as a Halloween costume , using " an old towel , a funny old helmet that Grover ' s daddy had brought home , and a few other odds and ends . " Grover ' s daddy is not pictured , and given the phrasing , it isn ' t clear what author Emily Perl Kingsley meant to imply about Grover ' s relationship with his dad . The sentence seems to suggest a number of possibilities that may include the three monsters living together , visitation rights , or the idea that Grover may never have even met his father . The last option would seem to be eliminated with the facts found in " The Sesame Street Library Volume 2 " , also published in the same year . It features a poem by Grover about when he was little and used to be scared of being alone at night . In it , he expresses his mother ' s assurance that there was nothing to fear , and that " she and my daddy were near . " This at least suggests that Grover ' s dad lived with his family at one point in Grover ' s earlier years . In 1985 , " When Grover Moved to Sesame Street " tells the story , in flashback , of how Grover and his mom left their suburban home to live in an apartment on Sesame Street . This is an important time in Grover ' s backstory , but nowhere in the detailed account of this venture is any mention made of his dad . In fact , it is made quite clear that by this point in Grover ' s upbringing , his father is nowhere to be found , with a very strong case being made for Grover ' s Mom raising her son as a single mother . One other fleeting reference to Grover ' s Daddy is mentioned in passing in the poem " I Used to Be Afraid " . Given the creative freedom of the poem juxtaposed with the previous evidence , the visibility of Grover ' s father in their home life is left to the interpretation of the reader . When Super Grover appeared on " The Sunny Side Up Show " on January 1 , 2009 , Kelly and Chica bestow upon him the Super Good Egg Award . In his humble acceptance speech , Super Grover thanks his mommy , his daddy , his cousin Georgie , his uncle Frank , his uncle Frank ' s tailor , his aunt Susie and his brother Norman . In a 2011 interview for " PBS NewsHour " , Grover credits his mommy and daddy for teaching him good judgment in saving money .
