First things first, this show has no educational value. You will not learn anything from this show except maybe a few snippets about 70's-80's pop culture. There is also very little artistic content in this show. It does not aim to tug at your heartstrings, make you question the nature of humanity, or provide some sort of deep philosophical lesson. And thank goodness it does none of those things, because it would be nowhere near the fun, energetic, and sensational show it was. The Muppet Show is simply meant to be one of the most entertaining shows you've ever seen, and it succeeds by a wide margin. Do you like dancing? It's in there. Musical Numbers? You'll find one. Snarky humor? Statler and Waldorf have you covered. It won't be high drama or art to rival Shakespeare. But it will be one of the most unique half-hours you'll ever spend watching TV.
