#6I adored the Muppet Show as a kid. Tried watching it with my daughters this weekend, since it just became available.
"Dad, this is weird. This is really weird. It's not even a show! Just weird little scenes!"
["not even a show" = no connective plot]
These kids have all kinds of precision-engineered laser-guided entertainment aimed squarely at their cerebral cortex. They don't need the Muppet Show like I did, I guess.

Disney? Probably not. But there are plenty of people who would.

In a children-oriented program.
In the 70's.

It's fun we often pause older movies (80's "Clue" was the last one) so we can explain period stereotypes and prejudices to our 8yo daughter.
